Not an M, but I have an F10 535 next to my E93. If I had the choice of an M car to replace the 535 now that I have the E93 M3, it would be an X5M. Seriously considering one for my next daily.

What tiles are those on the floor. Looks sleek and clean. By the way nice pair you got. I got the same setup just Alpine White E92 and Jet Black E46.
They are the TrueLock HDXT. I like them but next time will probably go with swisstrax

I don't really recommend this to be honest, they're a bit too similar, although I know their characters are different. They're about same size and both V8s.

What do you want the 2nd M to be? Another fun weekend car or something that has to have practicality?

Here are the 3 in my garage:


If you have no need for rear seat, I'd endorse the Z4M Roadster all day. It has one of the best inline 6s BMW has ever made (which says a lot), is easily the most one trick pony BMW has made the last 2 decades and I think has also aged very well. I can't recommend the car enough to be honest, it was a revelation for me and I love it as much as my E92 M3. Then can be had for under $25k all day long too.

The E36 M3 is also a lot of fun, and you can tell it's from a completely different era of cars but it doesn't feel as big of an event to drive as the Z4M IMO. And at this rate, the price delta between the 2 is not that huge anymore, so hat tip to the Z.

A car I'd consider to add to my fleet for variety is the M2C since I don't have a forced induction car, but that's further down the line. Same thing might apply to you too, I think they would go well with an E9x M3.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this.... what 2nd M would (or have) you like to own alongside your e9x m3 and why?
To park by my E90, first an E92. Then a F80 CS. (current situation)

Working on swapping all cars for M cars
Currently:
E90 stroker track car
E92 street/weekend car
F80 CS track car
X5 daily
Mini Cooper daily
340i daily

If my evil plans work out it will switch to:
E90 stroker track car
E92 street/weekend car
F80 CS track car
E46 M3 wagon daily
Mini Cooper daily - maybe one day E91 M3 wagon
F83 M4 daily

Haha, I've got the same idea but I think I love my truck too much, it's so useful.

But I was thinking:
E92 M3 weekend
Z4MR nice weather
E36 M3 for nostalgia/track
F97 LCI for daily, and use trailers when I need to haul stuff

While owning my E92 M3,
I've also owned a E36 M3, E46 M3, E39 M5, S62 6MT swapped E38.

Currently I have a E90 M3, honestly feels like the best combo for me, but I've enjoyed the experience of owning each one, wouldn't trade them for my e92 m3. I wanted a 4dr with a manual.

Also, we only have so much room in the garage. My wife's 993TT sure as shit isn't getting parked outside. She gets two cars in, I get three.
Garage problems! Working on getting a lift now. I just sold the E38 and I am regretting. The Taycan will be replacing the G12 (unless we replace the X5 with an X7 first).

Think the rear custom made bumper maybe looks off on the color match?

And that is why the good lord invented the turbo 😀

Where I live, lots of twisty roads the S2K would be awesome on. I am 6'1" and 260... not sure if I would fit in the S2K. But I want one!!
Stock seats wouldn't be an issue. I'm 6'1" and was around that weight when I had mine. I added Bride seats and it was my motivation to lose weight. Ended up losing 50lbs. Thanks S2K!

I say definitely an e46 m3, then e36 m3, then list goes on Lol. I first got my e46 after my e92 I'm sure e46 m3 would look amazing by your e90

If his car was a DCT I'd seriously have had the loan approved by now and be explaining to my wife why she can't divorce me.

I was 3 days away from buying a supercharged 328i E91 a few years back (literally had the travel arrangements made to pick the car up) and my wife decided we had to buy a house. Still regret not just borrowing the money.

After many months of searching I was able to add an E90 M3 so in reverse I guess of the thread. My first BMW was an ordered 2007 E90 328i RWD 6MT with heated seats as the only option in Jet Black. I was just starting up my life and didn't have much of a budget and my dream was to get a M3. A few BMWs later I did get an opportunity to do ED June 2014 for a F80 M3 and still have it today. Got a F97 to replace a X3 30i. Had the intention of trading the F97 for a G80 6MT but decided to keep it since I really like it and to turn my attention to finding the M3 I dreamed of for years. Car matched most of my requirements but not all and that's okay. That's my story and here's my new to me M3.
