Asking Price:

None

Item Interest

Been thinking of selling/trade/bartering/package deal for either or both M3's: My plan is to get back into a manual.
2011 E92 ZCP DCT Mineral White 105k Miles
2011 E93 DCT Space Gray 88k Miles
Both have stage 2 tunes and GTS DCT tunes. I'll start proper for sale threads moving forward. Considering X5 trades on the E92 and or E93.

Lol no. But I did drive a buddies 6MT and although I felt it to be lacking... Which another buddy who owns a DCT drove it and said the same thing about it lacking, I do miss manual. When I was originally looking at M3's I only test drove manuals. I watched a kid who had 50k miles on his car grind 3rd gear several times trying to impress me with its "smooth" shifts. For some reason he was having a hard time finding third when shifting quickly. That was one of the reasons that I even thought about trying out DCT.

I felt weird going from the DCT to the 6MT during the first week. After I got used to the clutch action and slightly leaning shifter, I haven't looked back. I love my 6MT and wouldn't have it any other way! No random DCT clutch disengagement and much more control over what the car is doing at low speeds.

Someone get Mark into a manual! The DCT is phenomenal, especially when you compare it across other brands' dual clutch offerings. Plus you get a much broader powerband and better gearing. The S65 really loves the DCT.

Yeah I had the same exact observation. I had e92 M3 6MT for 6 months and sold it because I could never get used to this transmission. Something was lacking (specially the clutch distance and 2nd gear shift). I jumped into 911 after that and saw the difference right away. s65 engine is best suited for DCT from factory no matter what other 6MT hard fans say. I wish BMW made it better for 6MT like Porsche did.

What is the other manual car you are looking to get?

You’re dead to me

Actually I’d like to derail this thread like you do to my FS threads

But you’re also dead to me

Haven't thought it through yet. Will most likely look for a Melbourne Red E92.

[EJT86]

Are you willing to split? I’m only interested in the front half of one for a project I’m working on

Bro..I thought you are not even considering e92 M3 with manual because it is lacking lol

Anyways good luck with your search

[BOOF-M3]

If you can get someone to take the other half I'm ok with splitting the car up. But I draw the line on cutting it down the middle. There has to be a complete front and rear. Not half a front & rear twice.

Exactly. That urge for manual is strong. Even though it is lacking.

Understood. You should have gotten 1 DCT and 1 Manual instead of 2 DCTs. Best combination

Idc about the rear or any other parts that’s your problem. I only want the front half so I can finish building my M3 Chariot, if you know a guy selling 4 horses that’d be great too

PM me price on the white one

That's what I'm searching for! Looks like we've got competition for that beautiful red color!

[jv92red]

Yeah, Welcome to the 'Looking for a ZCP / MT/ with decent miles' club! There are about 10 of us on the west coast. Perhaps you being on the east coast will provide you better luck than me... After I factor in the $500-600 for a flight and 1k plus for shipping (and that's just for open carry shipping)this prices me out of my mid 30's budget for a good example under 40-50k miles I've seen more often lately over thereon the east coast.

But I will continue my search and skip past the (what seems like) more plentiful and slightly more affordable DCT's.. why? Cause 6MT!

If I had to have one car it would clearly-easily-and happily be a DCT.

FYI I have a very good shipper if you need. She doesn't ask for any money up front. Pay when car is delivered and she is typically a bit cheaper also.

Surprised to see this FS thread...shoot me a PM about what you want for the E92

Hey Greg, most likely selling the E93. I love the E92 that's why I prefaced it with I'll start a proper for sale thread eventually. I'll shoot you a PM or email.

One thing for me when it comes to miles which doesn't equate to a house is interior for me. As far as miles on the motor are concerned, I would actually prefer a less expensive M car with 50-80k miles this way I would be just fine with the $2K rod bearing job since I paid less and now have more cash for the job. For me, it's the interior that wears irreversibly. Bolsters, carpet.. Especially if you get a Fox red or one of the other non-black leathers. Try and match the other leathers of your interior while you replace your drivers seat from 100K-150+ miles M is not something I want to do. And when interior seats come up for sale like Fox red, it's rare and they too go fast, House? Older the better. Character. pull out the knob and tube wiring. re-wire becomes new. Car interiors is not the same.

Good analogy, fortunately my interior is mint at this time. Over the next 50k Miles who knows.
