2011 BMW E92 M3 - 'Daily' Driver
Discussion
Seems like a good time to make a thread on this seeing as I've owned it over 3 weeks and have already managed to put something like 1300 miles on it- despite my justification for buying a 4.0 V8 being that my personal mileage was likely to decrease... 
After 4 very happy and enjoyable years with an E82 125i Coupe I was starting to properly get the bug to move on to something else. I'd had a great time with that car but had got everything I wanted out of owning it (including a very fun trip over to the Nurburgring), and was struggling to see the value for money in putting any more money into it (and I had put a fair bit into it...) when I knew I'd still have the itch for something else. So reluctantly I made plans to move it on, and I'm pleased to say it went to a fellow PHer- much easier to let go of a car you still like when you know it's gone to a good home!
So onto the replacement... if you'd asked me when I bought the 125i what my ideal next car would be, I would've unequivocally stated an E9x M3- I've wanted one since I watched that Top Gear episode as a young lad where it trounced the RS4 and C63. However I'd since read a few scare stories about them, and nearly every objective measure pointed towards the (now similarly priced) F82 M4 being a much better prospect, and that was the car I nearly went shopping for last summer. Obviously you've read the title of the thread and have worked out I didn't go down that route- for a few reasons I decided to postpone the car hunt, over which time I had a few good drives in the 125i which made me sure I'd miss the sound and feeling of a bigger N/A engine too much, and I was starting to see E9x M3 values creep up. So really, it increasingly felt like 'now or never' for an E92, and also that I'd regret not taking the plunge, even if only for a short while.
I'd resolved to start properly looking in the new year and as if by fate, on New Year's Eve the car I ended up buying went up on AutoTrader. It was pretty much my ideal spec- but unfortunately it was in Glasgow, and I live in Bristol, so I spent a few days convincing myself I didn't want it before I bit the bullet and rang the seller. Doubly unfortunately, speaking to him backed up my suspicions from the advert that it was a good example, had been very well looked after during his 7 year(!) ownership and he was very forthcoming with any information. After a fair bit of back and forth, we agreed a deal based on the car being as described, and I booked a return flight to Glasgow, with the return as a contingency and the full intention of driving home in an M3.
Obligatory travel photo.
Unfortunately conflicting schedules meant the 'viewing' couldn't take place for another 10 days or so, which felt like forever. However soon enough, and with the help of an 0430 Uber to Bristol Airport I found myself boarding the 0705 Easyjet flight to Glasgow. I needn't have worried, as the car was exactly as described, the seller was fantastic to deal with (thanks Mark if you ever read this!) and the deal was done. The only hiccup was the fact that he'd put the original reg plates back on the car with some sticky pads, which had lost their stickiness after a few years sat in the garage and the rear plate had fallen off that morning. Normally the test drive requiring a stop at Halfords to fix something would put me off buying a car but I made an exception in this case...
Had to take some quick photos while I stopped at Costco for some super unleaded- it had half a tank in already (which was much appreciated) but even with a full tank a fuel stop was inevitable, and the less I had to put in on the motorway the better. Then it was time to head south- which was a pretty incredible drive even with the horrendous weather.
Couldn't resist a photo with the 1 Series before its new owner collected it. What surprised me is how big the size difference between the two actually is!)
So onto the car itself- it's a 2011 DCT with the Competition Pack, in Mineral White over extended black Novillo leather. All the options I wanted- an upgraded stereo, USB music (a godsend after 4 years of loading MP3's onto the hard drive of my 125i) and heated seats, plus a few nice and quite rare extras like DAB radio and automatic high beams. It's completely standard bar an aftermarket front undertray (the OEM ones are apparently crap) and a 'modstock' style mod to the rear backbox to let a bit of extra noise out, which is very well judged I think. I bought it on 79k miles, and it's had most of the big jobs done including the throttle actuators (replaced with the lifetime warrantied ones from rebuild.org), rod bearings at 65k, DCT and diff services and quite a few other common failure points.
It unfortunately didn't come with the old bearings but in the photos they seem like they were in pretty decent shape which gives me confidence the engine has lived a pretty happy life- it also doesn't seem to use a drop of oil.
Visiting a mate in Wales seemed like a good excuse to take it on some nice roads around the Brecons...
So plans going forwards? I put 'daily' in inverted commas as this is my only car so meets the definition of a daily in that regard, but really I work from home 3/4 days a week and any business travel outside of the office I get rental cars for- so while I won't be doing crazy miles it will get used in all sorts of conditions. I do intend to get the injectors replaced soon as they do seem to be the latest big killer of these engines, and although some people reckon it's scaremongering I think the weight off my mind is worth the cost of doing them. I'm also toying with the idea of some brake upgrades (pads, fluid, braided lines, possibly front calipers) as the standard brakes on these don't really live up to the capabilities of the rest of the car in my opinion.
Oh, and a 2,000 mile trip in July down to the Alps, over to Munich, up through Germany for a couple of nights at the Nurburgring (the big motivation for sorting brakes) and then home.

Very nice example, you basically have my cars twin!
The front undertrays are indeed terrible so be glad yours has already been taken care of as that's one less job to do!
I would recommend pads and braided lines for the brakes before you go doing anything as expensive as calipers and then see if you feel like it still needs more.

Had one of these as a daily (also in white) and I loved it. Had a decent exhaust which really amplified that lovely engine note. I've an F82 M4 now which probably has a bit more grunt thanks to the turbos but it does lack the noise and some of the nice n/a feel of that great engine in the E92. Would quite happily go back to an E92 some day.
Looks very nice. I own almost identical spec car, had it a couple years now and use it as a daily but only Apr-Sep.
End of this year I’m getting the plastic Vanos caps replaced with the NRW ones, and might go mad and put NRW VALVE covers on too.
Are you on original dampers? One of my rears failed in 2024, and one of the fronts last year, at 60,000 miles ish.

Looks really good, well done OP on a great purchase. I have a 2012 E92 Comp DCT, and I love it, although it's on SORN at the moment.
I agree about the brakes. What I did was get the Brembo 4 pot kit from FreakyParts, paired it with Performance Friction Z-rated pads and had HEL braided lines fitted, with a fluid change of course. Total cost of the hardware was around £1100 I think. I mean, if you want the ultimate stoppers then you're looking at Alcons, but they're much more money and are overkill on the road in my opinion. I'm more than happy with the FreakyParts Brembo package.
Watch out for the rear calipers, they often seize, but you can get a refurb kit from Frentech for under £50 which will sort them.
These are great cars, IMHO, and cracking value. An M car with a V8 naturally aspirated engine is a lovely thing, and the E92 in particular looks, I think, beautiful. Great to drive, sounds epic, and as much power as you need for British roads. All for considerably less than £30k. VED is a pain, but the insurance on mine is cheap (under £200) and my average of 22 mpg is acceptable. Enjoy!

Thanks all! 
Sounds like white is a popular colour for these (and reflected in the sales figures too seemingly!)- I'm not normally one for white cars but these do just look right in Mineral White, and seeing your thread @iacabu and how good yours looks on the 359's definitely helped me with that decision. I'd definitely be lying if I said I slept well the night before collecting it (partly excitement, partly apprehension), but I had a good feeling about it and just had to take the plunge. Certainly to someone not into cars it was pretty mental- in a very bizarre coincidence my next door neighbour was one of the stewardesses on my flight to Glasgow and asked me what I was heading up there for- she looked at me like I had two heads when I told her I was going to look at a car.
To answer a couple of points:
Ended up taking it up to Caffeine and Machine last Thursday for a pub quiz. Came joint second, shout out cannedrex2406 for some impressive answers!
I definitely have no regrets going for the E92 though- I really like how it drives, and it's better than I expected it to be at just pottering around when you want to- you do have to think about throttle position a little more than you would in something like a ZF8 if you want to get the best out of the DCT, but I don't really mind that. Despite being only a year newer than my 125i and having basically the same iDrive and switchgear it feels so much more modern purely because of the extra options- being able to stream from Apple Music on my iPhone and have album art come up on the screen is in my opinion pretty impressive for a 2011! The Xenon headlights are also really good (especially coming from halogens) and on the drive back from Caffeine and Machine I was actually quite impressed by the automatic high beam function- works better than a lot of new cars I've driven with the same functionality!
The S65, is of course, spectacular. I know a few members here lament the lack of torque, but in my opinion that's complete b
ks. Anywhere above 2000rpm and there's plenty of shove for normal driving- and I know I've come from another naturally aspirated car so my opinion is a bit skewed, but I've done a good few thousand miles in BMW's current 3.0 turbo petrol and diesel in M-performance forms, and don't miss the extra torque of them one bit.
Also took it to a local car show the other weekend and coincidentally ended up next to a new M3 CS. Dick Lovett Bristol had a Touring version in the showroom- list price was £127k!
It had its driver's airbag recall at BMW Bristol the other Friday too, have to say their service was excellent. Their 'complementary visual health check' was very positive, only pointing out that the rear discs are getting a little corroded (which I knew), and that the handbrake shoes are quite corroded- this isn't a massive surprise for me as the handbrake does tend to stick on after I've driven it in the wet, even if only left overnight. Other than that it got a completely clean bill of health. Nonetheless I do still intend to get it into Redish Motorsport for new injectors and an expert look over- these engines are pretty well known for making lots of strange noises so while I'm sure mine is healthy it'd be nice to have an expert to confirm, and with it being from Scotland I am assuming the rear subframe is starting to get a bit crusty.

To answer a couple of points:
- It's on the original dampers (EDC)- I'm actually really impressed by the ride, it rides way more comfortably than my old 125i which I put a Bilstein B12 kit (B8 dampers, Eibach Pro Springs) on about 10k before I sold it and feels much more composed on nasty roads too, although if 'pressing on' one click of the EDC button to firm things up is definitely needed. I think the dampers are pretty healthy still, as my understanding is as they wear they self-compensate by getting firmer and firmer until you're effectively in the 'Sport Plus' mode all the time- whereas there's a noticeable difference going through the suspension modes on mine.
- Both rear calipers have been refurbished by the previous owner, so hopefully won't have to deal with that myself!
- The FreakyParts Brembo front calipers are what I'm currently tempted by, as they do seem like a decent value kit, although I may just go for pads and lines as suggested to start with (although my man maths says to just spend the money upfront, rather than potentially spending twice ). Anything fancier will definitely be a waste of money as I'm not really planning on tracking the car outside of a few pretty gentle Nurburgring tourist laps.
