It wasn't as close as it looks, plus he parked next to me, I was there first! Then these other guys showed up.

Got mine three months ago and cant stop playing with it

We are still talking about the car right?

(hey, everyone thought it, somebody had to comment on it...

)

I wonder how many e93's were built? I didn't know it was a rare color to be honest. Mine was a good deal, happened to be red, so I flew out and bought it...

Just to make things clear, Yes! I was referring to the car.

Before I decided to purchase my M3 new, I was shopping the used market. I had dealers in 5 states looking for a Melbourne Red E93. No one could find one. I had no idea how hard they are to find!

Here's mine

I'm actually contemplating on selling it for a manual e92 m3...but I love everything else about the car.

The pics I posted on this thread were from 4 years ago..A couple of years back went with VMR V810 wheels in 19X10 and 19X11 with 275/295 Mich PSS setup. Here it is...

Ha... I am doing a ppi on a manual but e90 zcp though

. wish me luck. I just sometimes ask myself if red is too flashy for daily driving but I'm not passing on this rare beast if everything checks out.

wow.! Looks amazing! I know they are zcp look a like but they might look better with these wider rims. Good job. How much a set of these go for? I might get them in black if I buy the zcp car I put deposit on.

6MT Melbourne E90 ZCP is a rare bird! If it's a slicktop you may have the holy grail!

Ha, it's not slick top but if I keep her long term, I'm thinking I might consider this most unusual yet sick mod: https://ind-distribution.com/product?sku=E90CFROOF. Never seen one done. Thoughts?

I think it's a fantastic idea - especially for a car that has a sunroof. Significant results seen over a car that was already a slicktop (albeit not carbon). I know a few guys on here have had it done, but I haven't seen one done personally. I guess as long as you can find a slicktop headliner?

Closest I've come is I swapped out the sunroof in a Spec E30 race car I had with a panel. Just watch out for leaks!

cvstar9M3 · 10-22-2018, 11:48 AM

You seen people do it on e90? Please share link. I've never seen in it don on an e90 just e92. I wouldn't do it myself; would find a top shop. I know a shop that has done e92s so that might be a safe bet.

Wasn't searching for a MR until I came across this baby! Two tone red and black interior too

Georgeair · 10-22-2018, 01:09 PM

Wasn't our first choice, but when we were half-heartedly looking and BMW threw a mountain of trunk-money at the remaining launch editions still at dealer it was worth the shot.

After 10 years we really love it! Especially like the almost cinnamon tone to the color in certain lighting.

I agree. No picture can fully do it justice. I had never seen a MR in person until I flew 1800 miles to buy this one and I was thoroughly impressed.

I was looking for an Alpine White m3 till I came across Melbourne Red.

Looks great with the black/cf parts. Does anyone have an e90 currently? I read there only like 120 lci e90s in MR.
