Dueling AW E90's in Monterey

Merked M3 · 01-26-2012, 09:19 PM

Dueling AW E90 M3's

The valet at the Clement in Monterey had parked the comp package E90 in front of the hotel, sort of featuring it. Luckily it was a weekend so I was driving my M3 and asked to pull mine up for a quick photoshoot.

The funny thing is that they are basically the same car, except opposite on all the details: splitters, window tint, wheels, spoilers, LCI's, mirrors, plates. And although I didn't check, I would assume theirs was a DCT just to make the rivalry better, haha. They did have black interior and CF leather same as mine though. I have no idea if the other person is on the boards, so if you are, here are some pics of your car!!!! Hit me up next time you're in the area if you want to do some mountain backroads.

All pics were simply taken with an iPhone:

I had this shot a few times so I applied a quick PS filter

Nice pics! Both E90s looking great

GOLFFRR · 01-27-2012, 08:36 PM

sweet.

Side note can you PM the best Hotels to stay up there where I can self park and my car will be safe? Lots of hotels seem to have Valet only which is a no go for me(I use to be a valet driver

)

thurston · 01-28-2012, 06:42 AM

Nice, dude! Btw, I used to live in Monterey. Lived there for a couple years and can't wait to get back. Love that town.

Stay at Spy Glass inn inside the 17 mile drive, or, Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley

Pebble Beach has to be one of the most magical places in California, it is stunning.

GOLFFRR · 01-28-2012, 05:51 PM

^^ looks like the weekend we are going up there is same weekend as the pga tour is there for pebble beach pro am, tiger is playing so every hotel is booked that weekend

Going to goto SD instead and hit monterey up in the spring.

No problem! If anyone ever needs help setting something up in Monterey I have several connections for hotels, Laguna Seca, or restaurants. And I know some killer back roads if anyone from the forum wants to go for a drive!!

E9x M3's are hot as is, so any mods I do make the car go faster (my window tint is the exception)! Instead of grills, ect I'd rather get GC camber plates and run -3 up front!!

X6Mom · 01-30-2012, 04:26 PM

The M3 is the hottest car in Alpine White.. So sexy.
Next mod: akrapovic exhaust.

1sikbmr · 01-30-2012, 05:41 PM

OEM FTW both cars look dope!
