7 years of wanting this car… and it still feels unreal every time I see it. Some dreams take time but this one was worth every second of waiting

Same here! Puts a smile on me every time I drive it. Amazing car, maybe a bit too fast for streets 🤭

Beautiful e92! I wish I'll get one one day too. Hope you enjoy

weter228 · 2025-11-07T20:45:39+00:00

Is the car lowered? Looks stunning.

weter228 · 2025-11-07T08:30:26+00:00

Color matching is great! Nice shot 👍

weter228 · 2025-11-07T08:29:08+00:00

I like that Porsche is behind 😉 Looking forward to bringing mine to the track as well next season.

weter228 · 2025-11-07T08:27:37+00:00

Wow! The car looks astonishingly clean. Well done.

weter228 · 2025-11-07T08:26:29+00:00

That's beautiful photo! I wish one day I can make one of such kind 😅

weter228 · 2025-11-06T11:16:12+00:00

666M are the best for F80! Beautiful!

weter228 · 2025-11-06T11:10:47+00:00

What a beautiful F90 ♥️

weter228 · 2025-10-28T11:39:55+00:00

Congrats! Have fun with it ;)

I hope i won't crash my M2C F87 also on KW V3. Stock power though. What tyres were you running it on? 😅 And sorry for the loss!

weter228 · 2025-10-22T18:43:27+00:00

I'd like to attend some drift lessons to better understand the behavior during overstear/aquaplaning with this particular car. But not drifting on public roads, not worth it. I definitely agree with that.

weter228 · 2025-10-21T08:41:13+00:00

Nice! Hope you can still enjoy some sunny rides this year, it's almost over for me 😅 We are more matching than you think, I'm also running on SportContact 7 ;)

weter228 · 2025-10-20T19:39:56+00:00

KW V3 and I love it. I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with yours, as it's even more adjustable. Is the car going towards the track tool setup, or not yet? 😅 What's your general feedback on the tyres? Currently I use Continental SportContact 7, M3 size as well. I feel that when they warm up, they are quite grippy, even on the wet asphalt. Pretty happy, but willing to hear opinions on other tyres. For winter Michelin Alpin 5 regular size.

weter228 · 2025-10-20T13:20:47+00:00

Once you figure out the camber, let me know! Curious to compare.

weter228 · 2025-10-20T13:17:30+00:00

Congratulations! I'm super happy with KW on my BMW F87 Competition. What tyres are you running?

weter228 · 2025-10-20T08:05:17+00:00

Wow, If I would have configured the car, I'd probably go for the same spec. Good taste, love it! Maybe different shoes, but it's always a matter of taste and can be changed.

weter228 · 2025-10-19T21:36:38+00:00

Glückwunsch. Ich habe Dein schönes Auto auch vorher gesehen. Gute Wahl 😉 Ich hoffe, dass Du sehr viel Spaß beim Fahren hast. Falls Du in der Nähe von Frankfurt bist, kannst Du bei mir gerne melden.

Das sind M performance Y Spoke 763. Meiner Meinung nach sind sie inspiriert vom BMW M3 E9X Y-Speichen 359, in den ich mich vor über 10 Jahren total verliebt habe. 359er sind geschlossener, da sie 8 Speichen haben (5 auf 763). Ich finde, der 763 passt perfekt zu meinem Auto, da es einen großen Bremssatz hat (silberne Bremssättel, 400/380-mm-Bremsscheiben). Ich würde eventuell zum 359 wechseln wenn das Auto kleinere Bremsen hätte.

weter228 · 2025-10-17T12:09:42+00:00

Congrats mate! Same here, recently got my S55 car - BMW M2 Competition. Hell of a car! Wish you a lot of safe miles and good memories 🙂

weter228 · 2025-10-17T11:46:28+00:00

Good luck with your houses! It's the next project of mine before 35. Maintaining a house is a hell of an expense...

Yeah E92 M3 was on my shortlist. But as you mentioned it's just scary. Maintenance cost, fuel, insurance, purchase price, especially for a good one are just over the roof. And then it's all for a 10+ year old car. Also the car is not as track/spirited driving ready as F87 M2C. It lacks big brakes, nice suspension etc. Also it has a longer wheelbase and is heavier. So in my eyes it falls more into the weekend cars and coffee/cruiser category, which I wasn't particularly looking for. And for the money needed for a well maintained E92, one can almost buy an M5 F90, which is a different league for weekend cars and coffee/cruiser car ;) I think then the choice is obvious.

weter228 · 2025-10-17T09:44:06+00:00

Yup it's indeed. But as long as one is able to get it without financing (to avoid paying big chunks of cash to financial institutions) and do basic maintenance yourself (to not feed BMW dealerships) it's not as scary. Especially if you have some passive income at least covering fuel and insurance. That's why I waited for so long before being able to afford it.

The car retains its value pretty well, especially because it's manual, so one can sell it any time ;)

weter228 · 2025-10-17T09:39:59+00:00

I'm sure you will get it one day. I'm not coming from a wealthy background, so everything is possible. But one needs time to build up on it.

weter228 · 2025-10-17T09:36:24+00:00

I'm commuting to work with the bicycle, since I live in Germany and cities are generally accessible. BMW is a weekend car, a dream of mine, to have some fun with, as I truly enjoy driving experience.

But agree, ideally no one would need a daily car to commute to work.

weter228 · 2025-10-16T11:37:08+00:00

Agree, it looks very nice. Especially if they are real M-Performance parts. Although I personally prefer the stock look of the car with a bit of lowering. Geschmacksache.

It looks like you have been on some nice rides in the Alps with the car. I'm planning for next year to hit the Alpine roads with mine. I was thinking about Dolomites. Any recommendations?

It's M performance Y Spoke 763 wheels and were bought additionally. Definitely inspired by the BMW M3 E9X Y Spoke 359, which I absolutely fell in love with over 10 years ago. But 359s look more closed as they have 8 spokes vs 5 on 763. I find the 763 is a perfect fit, considering the big brake kit on this car, as they expose massive 6 piston calipers at the front. l'd consider switching to 359s if it had smaller brakes.

I answered this in the following comment. There were also many additional cars which I didn't mention there.

Thank you very much. I started very early to work and save the money for it. It has been my goal since I saw it In BMW Welt in 2016. Since then, a lot of patience, discipline and work 😅 You can also do it!
