Raleigh area M owners

[bimdo]

i just got my car a few weeks ago,i'm in chapel hill and have only seen one other e90 m3 around. here are a few photos from a recent detailing.the detailer did a great job,let me know if anyone wants his info.also wanted to say i took it to performance bmw for some work and they treated me great,definitely was pleased bc i usually don't use dealers,but i don't know of a small shop in ch that has expertise in m's.this car's a lot of fun,way over the top for a dd,but still comfortable.

no child seat,but the dog likes to ride around with me.would also like to know of any meets or drives.

That was me in the IB E90 near Brier Creek. Good eye spotting the car seat!

The ability to balance so many different duties is what makes the car so great.

Nice looking car! With exception of the wheels it looks very similar to mine... Although, I have two seats for my kids in the back.

Hahaha. Yeah, just swapped out the infant carrier seat for a forward facing convertible. I guess when you're toting around little ones, it makes it easier to spot others in the same boat.

+1. Not many cars like the E90 M3. Can fit the entire family in there for a short trip. Can go for a nice romp through country roads. Can handle it's own on the track. Can throw a roof rack on top for skis/bikes, etc. IMO, the perfect all-around car. Jack of all-trades, master of none. But damn is it the jack of all-trades.

Anyone swap out OEM h8 bulbs for the lux h8 LED lights? I've been using GP thunder 7500k, but they don't fully illuminate the outer ring, and i've had a bulb burn out once a year now. I'm wondering if there might be an underlying problem with the wiring though.

Any of you guys heading to The Vintage tomorrow? I was thinking of going along for the morning.
