Fellow E9X owners,

It's my distinct pleasure to finally post a proper introduction as the proud new owner of a used E92 Limerock Edition M3. I've wanted this car ever since it was released and fate finally brought us together.

To say I'm excited would be the understatement of the century. So much so that on my inaugural drive earlier today, I managed to get my very first speeding ticket, 87 in a 55. I think of it as compliments of the state trooper for driving the car the way it's meant to be driven, just short of being reckless!

I have a somewhat long history with BMWs, first buying a new 328xi in 2011 and couple of years later, the ugly duck-of-a-car also known as the 535GT...hey we all make mistakes in life.

We also picked up a 991.1 Carrera GTS in 2015 and now onto car #4 as both my wife and I have jobs couple of miles away from our home.

Prior to the GTS, I really really "tried" liking the new turbo-charged atrociousness known as the F8X generation of ///M cars. Between the ugly angular headlights and terrible hood line, awful sounding engine, electric steering, and fake induction sound pumping to the speakers, I think of it as a bad joke at best...

Last year, I had the opportunity to rent an E92 from RSR and take it around the Ring for 4 laps. That sealed the "must own" deal and I slowly started searching for a Limerock edition.

Forum member kge30m3 was super helpful and patient while trying to connect me with other Limerock owners that were considering selling their cars. I couldn't make a deal and also lost out on a recent BaT auction.
My wife finally took pity on me and worked out a deal with EAG.

Without further ado, here are few lousy shots of the car. Apologies in advance for the iPhone quality as I was too lazy to grab the GoPro.

I'll be updating this thread as I have few mods planned already.

Alex

Congrats, man! What a beautiful car. Lol, I got a speeding ticket within a week of picking up my E90… these cars just beg to be driven hard

I remember that BaT auction, if that was the one within the last couple/few weeks. Your wife is super sweet to go out and secure a LRP for you after the auction didn’t work out.

Cool story!! Enjoy your new ride!

Very nice and colorful pair of cars you have there. Where in CT are you? That building in the background kind of looks like one in Stamford.

Getting quotes and looking to install one in the next 1-2 weeks! You boys are spot on.

This deserves its own response.

As the car was rolling off the truck, I was grimacing while twisting my legs and leaning forward ever so slightly.

Hope that was descriptive enough. :

I'm driving around after work at the moment and still can't believe that I'm sitting in my dream car.

What an ///M Monday...

Gorgeous car. I hope to own one myself one day. I grew up in CT.

Did you buy it from Enthusiast Auto Group??

Congrats! Incredible combo. A 991.1 GTS is definitely my next aspirational car.

Please share some thoughts on your impressions of both vehicles.
