About to join the M3 ranks again

docwyte · 08-22-2014, 10:08 AM

Well, I've owned E36 and E46 M3's in the past, both of which I've supercharged.

I'm about to close the deal on a '08 M3 sedan. Pretty excited to have an M3 again and also to finally own a car with low mileage again, this one only has 23k miles. That's a far cry from the 140k miles on the Audi it's replacing.

I'm going to be on the hunt for a few parts and would prefer to buy local. I'll want a set of summer 19" wheels/tires, I'm thinking OEM ZCP or something nice like BBS' or HRE's or the like.

I'd also love an exhaust, something that doesn't drone like a Dinan or ??

Drop me a note if you have anything you think I can't live without.

Why not go square setup? Apex or similar.

docwyte · 08-22-2014, 02:44 PM

That's an option I'm considering...

BimmerWorld has a nice offer in some Rays Volk Racing G2 wheels - forged, black, 18x10 +27. You might consider those. (FWIW - I also run a set of Apex EC-7 in 18x10 +25 on my e90 M3 sedan.

Very cool, where you getting the car from?

docwyte · 08-22-2014, 09:59 PM

Near Tulsa OK. Trying to figure out the logistics of going to get it...

I've been considering selling my BBS CHRs in 19". They're on and off my car from time to time. I'm in Colorado Springs, but let me know if you'd like to check them out. Great wheels, just considering changing things up a bit.

docwyte · 08-23-2014, 11:25 AM

Might be interested. The tires on them good? Have pics?

The fronts have less than 500 miles on them, the rears have about 1500 on them. They're Michelin pilot super sports, 255/35/19 & 295/30/19. I have a number of pics, I'll post some up or I can email them to you. They have zero curb damage, bends, repairs etc and are in great shape. They're the silver finish.

MilehighM3 · 08-23-2014, 10:36 PM

Here's a couple from a trip last summer, prior to tire replacement. They're currently off the car on my storage rack so I can snap some fresh ones tomorrow, provided you're interested.

Well, the deal didn't go through, nothing bad about the car or the seller, just issues on my end.

Because of that I'm on the hunt for an E90 M3 that's local to the Denver area. 6MT, heated seats and fold down rear seats are necessities. I'd prefer the Premium, Tech, etc, etc, packages too...

If anyone knows of a good local car for sale, please let me know

MilehighM3 · 08-27-2014, 11:04 PM

We had one at Winslow in the Springs but it didn't last a week. We have another one but its DCT. Super clean car though!

I am considering moving on. I've got an 08 M3 with about 74k miles on the clock. Original owner, no issues and carefully maintained (all records, keys, window sticker, etc.) Jet black/black, 6MT, Premium, cold weather, fold down seats, premium sound, sat radio, etc. Riding on OEM 18s now but have a set of RG63's I will be selling along with a full Akra Evo exhaust. If interested in hearing more, please PM me. Thanks.
