E92 M3 bought

[johnny m3]

Hi guys traded in my XFR for an E92 M3 just before Christmas,colour won't be to everyones taste,it has 4,500miles on it and is well specced,your thoughts on it please good or bad,already thinking of carbon rear spoiler,carbon front splitters and black kidney grill.

Wouldn't have considered that colour myself but looks great in the picture. Really suits the black wheels. Nice!

That looks fantastic, well done M3s have always looked great in bright, bold colours.

I like that a lot. I'm actually a bigger fan of yellow on E92s than on E46s

Wow looks fab, happy motoring.

Is it Dakar? Looks a bit dark for it but might just be the pic.

Also being the older model what kind of deal did you get?

Thanks the colour is Speed Yellow which is an old Porsche colour I believe and this is the only right hand drive coupe in this colour if the database is correct,

Yello rules ok.

Also looks great with carbon. Go on trick it up if your pocket permits. Bonnet vents, spolier and splitter to start.

I haven't seen that colour M3 on the road - it is very striking and I think it looks excellent.

In my opinion, I would definitely change the chrome front kidney grill to black.

At the back of the car, I presume you have the chrome exhaust tips? I would suggest changing these to black as well.

Basically, if you make the bits black that they did on the LE500, I think it will make a nice improvement.

Of course I am slightly baised as I have a Santorini blue LE500

Better than any jag

Thanks Ed I nearly bought a Santorini blue one but it had too many miles on it,yes I think your right about changing the chrome for black,where's the best place to buy the exhaust tips?

Fanboi?

Douglas Park Glasgow had an F10 M5 in this colour for ages parked outside. Looked great but not sure if many have the balls to buy it. I think the colour suits the M3 more.

Don't get me wrong the Jag was a great car with 542 bhp as standard and the sound of that exhaust was brilliant,it served its purpose but I always wanted the M3 and don't regret it.

Re the black tips for the exhaust, I believe you can buy the OEM parts from BMW.

From a previous thread, I think the part number for each tip is BMW Part No. 18107842862

Isn't it interesting how the same colour can look so different on a different shaped car.

Have to agree, it suits the E92 whereas on an F10....
