Took 3 years but finally have my unicorn M3

Canalpine · 07-03-2016, 06:59 PM

Hey guys, first off, I'd like to thank all of you for helping me make all the correct decisions and observations when looking for my dream car. I've spent much of the last few years lurking and reading, learning as much as I can about the do's and don'ts about buying and owning an E9x series M3.

At last, I have finally found my dream machine and could not be happier or more satisfied with it. Has met and exceeded every expectation to date and intend on keeping her for a long time. She's a fully loaded AW E92 M3 minus the sunroof becuz carbon roof, 1 owner (2 now

) with 54k kms (34k miles), 6 speed manual. Previous owner had installed the m performance shift knob and boot, ebrake, black kidneys, and black side emblems. Installed Advanced rear carbon diffuser, body colour sidemarkers, slip-on exhaust, and h&r sport springs for a little more aggressive look and sound. Plan on keeping it fairly stock but might upgrade to ZCP style rims sometime soon.

Love this car and the BMW community, excited to get out and meet some of you hopefully, Cheers

OK, so I get having to mandatorily stop at all hockey rinks and Tim Horton's, say eh at the end of every sentence, and choose between Molson and Labatts, but do I also have to misspell words like color too?

BLACK OPS · 07-05-2016, 12:20 AM

Nice ride. Drive it like a rental!

Solo_M_Tech · 07-05-2016, 06:52 PM

Sweet car! Does unicorn mean the most common color now?
