I finally got my ///M3!

Jerry.E90M3 · 11-16-2017, 03:21 PM

After 6 months of owning my 2011 ZCP E90 M3 I've finally got around to taking some pictures of it.

I purchased the car back in May and couldn't be happier. It took me close to 2 years to finally pull the trigger on an M3 that checked off all the boxes on my list.
The car has 50k miles a 6MT, comp pack, red interior, and a slick top. It does have some other options like NAV and parking distance sensors that I don't mind. I test drove a few M3's including E93,E92 and the E90s won me over.

The modding bug has finally hit me and i've got a couple of things in mind like exhaust, front lip and other goodies but for now I've got the Takata airbag recall and rod bearings schedule for December.

Enough talking and on to the pictures....

Congrats! I know the feeling and finally buying it is an incredible experience.

E30M3Brill · 11-16-2017, 03:46 PM

Excellent - lookin' good!

Is it me or is there an inordinate amount of E90 comp pkg recently trading.

Good thing I already have mine

Helmsman · 11-16-2017, 03:57 PM

There you go Jerry, great looking car!
Obviously biased but having the E90 and F80 side by side the classy E90 look is the winner no doubt.

KPop · 11-16-2017, 04:31 PM

Congrats! So many of us getting E90 M3's lately, myself included, it's awesome.

I love the comparison pics between your E90 and your brother's F80. Good reminder for me that I should take some proper pics this weekend.

timothy2001 · 11-16-2017, 04:33 PM

Congrats and beautiful car!

Jerry.E90M3 · 11-16-2017, 05:38 PM

Thanks guys! He's my older brother so obviously he had to get the newer/better version of the M3, or so he thought.

thkfast · 11-17-2017, 01:22 AM

Wow. Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing some photos!

Foggins · 11-17-2017, 05:01 AM

Man I love your spec...looks so great in that color. Enjoy!!

IB M · 11-17-2017, 06:07 AM

Very nice. All this E90 buzz is making me want to trade out my e92

Nickthedude · 11-17-2017, 08:51 AM

Just imagine if the put the S65 modified for "better" gas mileage in the F80 instead of twin turbo'd I6...

-BEASTMW- · 11-18-2017, 01:55 AM

Looks great! Seems like the same spec as mine - 2011 E90 ZCP 6MT white/red slicktop. What other options do you have and not have? Mine has Nav and cold weather pkg, but not premium (manual seats).

Thanks! It has comfort access, electronic seats & nav. It does not have cold weather pkg which I don't think i'll ever need since I live in San Diego.

6ixSpd · 11-20-2017, 11:31 AM

Perfect spec for an E90 M3! Congrats, and really nice shots with the F80 as well.

GT3fan · 11-20-2017, 01:18 PM

Congrats on the beautiful e90m!

I actually think the new m3 looks great.

DGM33 · 11-20-2017, 01:21 PM

Beautiful!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the E90 and F80 compare, especially since you guys have the two so similarly spec'd.

Honestly, if I were to daily drive either, I would choose the F80. It's much easier to drive, has a better updated nav/interface and his clutch feels lighter and easier to engage than my E90. The E90 is a much more mechanical car and has a very raw driving feel. You feel very engaged when driving compared to the F80 where it feels like all the computers are doing the work. The E90 is also very temper-mental, meaning, in the lower rpm it's very tame but once you rev it past 6k it's a beast. The F80, however, has 100ft/lb of torque than the E90 which is always a plus.

At the end of the day both cars have their ups and downs, but for me i'll stick with my E90...

derbo · 12-02-2017, 02:47 PM

Car looks amazing! Ugh now I want to go for that stock ZCP look..

STooK · 12-02-2017, 10:25 PM

Congrats! Car looks to be in amazing shape and that spec makes it a bit of a unicorn. Enjoy in good health!

E90M3velocity · 12-03-2017, 01:53 PM

I'm thinking about getting a similiar diffuser for mine, do you have enough room between between the diffuser and the exhaust tips to polish them up?

There's actually plenty of room between the diffuser and the exhaust tips. But if you had an aftermarket exhaust then I'm not too sure.
