Back in E90, LeMans this time

EnVe46 · 09-11-2021, 11:11 AM

As the title states, I'm happy be to back in an E90 M3. Ever since selling my last one, I've chased a similar experience and nothing delivered. Most recent, I went classic muscle in a 69 Camaro SS which I built the 427 in it. What a car! But took advantage of crazy market and utilizing the cash to expand business. I've dabbled in Pcars, M6 GC, RS7, nothing worked. So, I found this one on cars.com, did some vetting of the work done, $7k worth including bearings and Dct reseal, and moved on it. It's a 1 owner car, non ZCP, but LeMans is my second favorite blue next to Interlagos. Not sure what plans I have for it other than test pipes and tune, may do carbon plenum. I just can't wait for that S65 sound again. Not a fan of the wheels so look for them to be for sale soon, HRE/Fall line R43

Glad to have you back in blue.

Looks great! How many miles? I was never too fond of those HRE's either. Some 359's would be perfect.

Welcome back!

Welcome back!

Just under 113k. With recent maintenance list, I'm quite comfortable with the miles.

If I can find the AG 359s they made in 19x10/11 I'll be buying them.

Ordered my e92 brand new and picked Interlagos, lately I'm really digging Lemans

Enjoy in good health!

PS - four doors is a win too

Interlagos, I think, will always be my favorite. But LeMans is real close for sure. We will see when I do the paint correction and coating how I feel

Welcome home!!! Nice find.

MikeyDawg · 09-15-2021, 05:46 PM

Congrats.

I'm thinking matte carbon plenum with MS intake. I personally not the biggest fan of all that glossy carbon under the hood. More function over form when comes to performance

The Karbonius might have the highest gains.

Yea but that matte carbon eventuri looks so good. As much as I'd love full matching matte I can't justify that cost and I think the MS intake sounds better than eventuri by itself with no plenum

If you're looking for AG 359's, look on **********. If you're not familiar, it's a social buying community for M owners. You have to be a member to view pricing and they have a lot of interesting stuff for the e9x m3. They have the CarboProject plenum and soon they will also have the Haimus available according to the site.

EnVe46 · 10-09-2021, 07:04 AM

Thanks for the tip! I actually found them already. Ive decided to go EC-7 with the new tires that came with it. I really been liking the 18s and meaty tires look so giving that a go. I also decided to give the Haimus plenum a try with the MS intake. Im curious to see what the car is like with the plenum, MS intake, test pipes and Alpine tune. Since my last one had MS intake, test pipes and Alpine, it'll be good to see what the plenum adds in experience and sound
