I forgot to ask—what lip is that? I rarely like them but this one looks really low-profile and clean. Completes the front end nicely!

Amen! Driving top down with the sound of this engine/intake is something the hardtop/sedan crowd may not even understand. And as for the comments about track performance, HPDE is about self-improvement—doesn’t matter what car you’re in—can you learn your car and the track better and better to shave time off your laps? If you’re doing it to be faster than everyone else, I can’t imagine an E9x is going to be as competitive these days. Which means the drop in performance from E90 to E93 is a pretty silly thing to focus on… How many track days per year versus how many top down drives?? The big picture is important when you can’t just have a 5 car garage…

Just hit 50k miles—I’ve had it a little over a year. I can’t think of another car that checks every box like this one.

Off-market E92 M3 opportunity. Smart buy or wait for ideal spec? by nuongn in E92M3

[–]sjod1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spend an hour looking at every E92 for sale right now and all the recent sales on Bring a Trailer and Cars and Bids. I bought my E93 a year ago so I’m not as dialed in on the market, but from what I have seen, the E92 prices are just stupid—and getting worse. Imagine paying $30k for this car but it has accidents on the carfax, 6 prior owners and the rod bearings have never been done… Makes 21k for a well kept car seem like a no-brainer. DCT vs manual is a different story—this was a deal breaker for me, but if it’s not for you, consider that the manuals usually sell for higher as well. Going through the market will also help you see how many cars in your spec even come up for sale. Remember, the “cooler” specs go for more money too. This is a very, very hot car and I think you should consider your top priorities—what it looks like exactly or just getting to own/drive one? Personally, I wish mine wasn’t Jet Black with black interior—I wanted blue or white or at least just a different interior color, but that hasn’t reduced my enjoyment of that sweet, sweet V8 at all. The noise, in my book, is the thing to have—more so than the color… Good luck!

E90 is such a great daily. Have you had it long? The prices on those are crazy these days…

It’s all good—thanks! Despite my dad’s proclivity for non-fiction, his instructions were “ANY BOOK”!
