Stathi's E92 M3 project

[gr330zhp]

Well as most of you know, after almost 7 years, my ZHP is sold. Always told myself if I make the big decision to sell the ZHP, whatever would replace it, would have to be worth it. So my search began. Decided the next car for me was the E92 M3. Really wanted the coupe, always being a sedan guy I thought it woud be hard to adjust, but absolutely wanted the carbon fiber roof! Really wanted Alpine white, 2010+, 6 speed and iDrive was also mandatory. So after searching for a good month and a half, found the right car! Just so happens I was selling the ZHP the same weekend.

So here it is! 2012 M3 Coupe, Alpine White with Black Nappa interior, Competition package, carbon fiber roof, Navigation as a standalone option and 6 speed manual. 26k miles and a one owner car. AND has rare manual seats! Car is optioned really exactly how I want, NAV, and none of the extra stuff. Previous owner also did BMW Performance front grilles and tint, just as I was planning. If this car brings me HALF the joy my ZHP did, I will be more than happy! :thumbup It's a BLAST to drive and I love that it drives like a true M, the driver has to push it to its limits and it loves every second of it!

Now for the pics!

My goodness she's pretty... now get some straight pipes on there and let 'er rip! :shifty

Nice pickup! This is ideally my next car when I sell my current e92 335.

Can't wait to see what you have planned for it!

Now need to decide on which exhaust!

I say get the Challenge x-pipe and the Corsa exhaust. My buddy has that setup and I'm telling you, the noise will amaze you like you didn't know it could...

Great looking car. Almost the one I'm looking for; I just need two more doors, the Bamboo beige interior, more options, sunroof, and DCT. Oh, and ZCP sedans were only available as MY 2011, so that too. Hey, I said almost! :biggrin

Damn, Stathi. This car is incredible!

GS3 + TT4

[PirateZHP]

Amazing!

That's really the only thing I can say. Just... amazing...

[pfr]

It's ugly. You don't want it. Give it to me.

[gr330zhp]

Thanks guys!!

I think I am leaning towards RPI for exhaust, funny thing is, even now the car is pretty loud but could be so much more!!

[PirateZHP]

^ Isn't it time to change the sig, Stathi?

Then we can see the M3 with every post! :thumbsup

Looks great man. I almost picked up an 08 AW e92 that was optioned out just like this. (no nav but comp package wheels) Beautiful car.

And painted reflectors ftw. Much Better

Congrats - Beautiful pickup, perfect color combo!

Not sure how I missed this earlier as I was eagerly awaiting to see if my hunch on M3 was correct. Though I was guessing e90 M3...

Thanks Bill! You were pretty much right haha...I had to have the coupe for the M3. Considered an E90 but had to have the CF roof! I'm very happy with it!

[Imola.ZHP]

Nicely done, I almost traded my ZHP for an e90 M3 back at the end of 2008.
