Forever! Since I am not a kid I have not moded mine for almost 7 years and never will! One of two like it in North America....looks like I am selling it too cheap.

Finally found a great spec after searching for almost a year. This is my 3rd E92 and hopefully my favorite.

Holy Cow.. what a find and buy! Congratulations on finding a 'keeper'. Amazing condition and low mileage for a 2013 car. It's been kept in good hands. Now the torch has been passed to you. Pamper her..

Youre selling!?

Have thrown it out there a few times, no real ad.

What are the details again?

UPSROD · 12-01-2021, 12:53 PM

Congrats!!

Maybe I am misinterpreting your comment, but the car went for $68K. I think the car definitely commands the value and is a good investment, but not sure I would call it reasonable for an M3 that isn't a limited edition or individual paint color.

BTW, congrats to the OP/buyer. Car looks amazing!

UPSROD · 12-01-2021, 01:21 PM

Find another one like it!

Of course the obvious take is to make the quality changes you want, those that can be reversed, while keeping the OE components

Most of us are modifying consumable parts any way, suspension, exhaust, wheels/tires, the like.

I wondered how long it would take for the winers on here to start bitching about the price!

It's quite reasonable IMO. EAG Would be listing this for 75-80 maybe even more. And prices on BAT tend to be much more reasonable than what I see people listing cars for elsewhere (forum, Facebook etc…)

Melbourne red is a very desirable spec

I believe the race-ready Schirmer GT M3 E92 went for 64K euros (72.4 USD)

Congrats! Its beautiful!

Exactly. I was confused by this original comment to do RBs.

Sarcasm would be my guess. Although funny enough, EAS posted this yesterday.

They did do bearings on a 9k mile car that had some deep scratches on cylinder 1 bearings.

Gratz on the awesome find! Time capsule indeed! And mods are part of the fun with any car, so don't listen to the naysayers.
