Beautiful spec! Congrats!

IB M · 08-14-2021, 04:27 PM

Perfect spec - more pics

jiggz · 08-14-2021, 08:29 PM

Congrats, very rare spec!

Who is 'Ted' - did your WTB thread elicit this car on this forum, or where did you find it?

Your WTB thread said you preferred a 'fully loaded' car which this car is obviously not that. How are you liking it's lack of options? I never understood certain stuff like manual seats... why is that desirable?

I gather somebody will chime in 'weight savings' ...

Any plans for it, or keeping her mostly original? Either way... enjoy

neilum · 08-14-2021, 08:36 PM

I want my m3 to be nicely optioned as I feel it adds to it's dual personality of being just a nice car at it's core. I like heated power seats and a nice stereo system, but I get it these specs are rare and that's the draw. The kind of car I would never in a million years spec new but used it's a gem. Go figure.

I'll say if I bought this car I'd build it around being lightweight as you already have a huge headstart

GRUESOM3 · 08-14-2021, 10:27 PM

How many miles?

The previous owner which is a member here, my WTB did find 1 other one which is 1/2 copy of mine just with electric seats. But when I found this one myself I jumped on it quick. Yeah originally I was looking for a fully loaded one as I loved the individual audio in my old E92 but rarity is more important to me.

Going to keep this one for a very very very long time. I am going to put some parts on it but very tasteful things only. I’m thinking some Brembo 6/8 piston brakes. Putting the ZCPs back on and looking for some OEM M performance parts if not Dinan parts which I’m trying to avoid to go aftermarket

Yeah exactly what I wanted, I honestly just wanted any 6mt ZCP E90 but once I started thinking, if I could go back in time and custom order an E90 it would be exactly the one I just ordered. I’m still dumbfounded that it took me a relatively short time to find a purchase a car like this from a really really good PO.

55k but I am putting some miles driving it back home. Which I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about putting miles on it. That’s the only problem I’m gonna have with driving the car.

PYE46M3 · 08-14-2021, 11:33 PM

beautiful. I wouldn't even drive that car lol. its too rare.

highrevs · 08-15-2021, 01:19 PM

Very nice. Welcome to the E90 ZCP club.

LakeSurfer · 08-16-2021, 11:38 AM

Pretty special car but it's no E93 6MT Alpine white with the smokers package. Lol.

Welcome the M club...Love the color!

RebL · 08-16-2021, 02:38 PM

WWM3 · 08-16-2021, 02:53 PM

Sweet car! Congrats!

Merlin_83 · 08-17-2021, 12:52 PM

55,000 is low miles?

I have 44,000 - do I have really low miles than?

Definitely put the ZCP's back on - those wheels transforms the car !

94jedi · 08-17-2021, 12:56 PM

Wow...killer spec and def unicorn status! Thought it was not ZCP at first (still rare) but ZCP and e90 put it into collectors territory! Very nice!

Longboarder · 08-17-2021, 08:09 PM

Wow so funny back in 2013-2016 these were considered "civic" M3's....looked down upon by many in this forum with owners then forming the M3 Civic club to support one another and fight back. And now they are highly sought after. Go figure.

2011E90ZCP · 08-17-2021, 08:55 PM

Congrats! I have the same specs/year except space gray. Only difference is I have leather seats with power (no heat though). My favorite "stripper" feature has to be the single hump. I look forward to my dash aging gracefully lol. Enjoy, fellow unicorn owner!
