My Space Grey ZCP E90 M3!

F1Venom · 10-13-2013, 03:42 PM

After member 540gone (Bob) contacted me about selling his M3 back in July, I couldn't resist but jump on the opportunity. It was spec.'d exactly to my liking and his mods were very well done. I'd just like to thank him again for being a great man and even going so far as to personally drive up and deliver it from New Mexico to Missouri since I couldn't drive down to him.
The car has been an absolute blast to drive and is absolutely stunning. I didn't think that modding the exhaust would be a necessity for the M3 but the Akrapovic Evo exhaust he installed is amazing! It truly makes me wonder how people can drive with just a stock exhaust. On top of the exhaust, the car has a Vorsteiner carbon rear diffuser which is stunning. The interior is fox red/black with carbon fiber trim and it's a DCT. The car's fully loaded and is, IMO, the prettiest car that's sub-$150k.
I love the induction and engine noise the M3 makes and there's just nothing like it. In the twisties the car stiffens up and the steering and connection to the road just synch with the driver. I am amazed at how planted the car feels and it truly is confidence inspiring. There aren't very many places where I can legally reach the 8300 RPM redline but these instances do happen and always leave a smile on my face.
Some iPhone pics (I'll try and get more professional photos soon).

$58k at 7k miles. It's one of the last E90 M3's produced (2011.75).

I was getting set to buy that car before you did. You got yourself a hell of a car from a very nice guy. Car looks great and is tastefully modded. Enjoy in good health.

Bob's a great guy and the car was immaculate. I've put almost 2k miles since getting it and it runs perfectly.

nice combo!

Thanks for the comments! I was debating an E92 since I couldn't find any good E90s but I just could not get over the fact that I've always lusted after the E90. I think the shape of the E90 is just more aggressive and better stanced than the E92 and the rear is less droopy. That and because coupes have pretty large doors which sucks for getting in and out of in tight spots.
