My new 2012 E92 Jet Black / Bamboo

dietrichf · 03-18-2015, 02:11 AM

Just wanted to say hi! Picked up this jet black / bamboo M3 last week for $47k. Was considering an RS5 and had been test driving. Convinced myself that I should try an M3 before buying anything and just fell in love.

22k miles and came with a titanium Akrapovik exhaust as a nice bonus. No real future plans yet other than covering the chrome on the front grilles with gloss black.

Welcome onboard man. Car looks great, low mileage, and comp package too(?) - nice find!

dietrichf · 03-18-2015, 03:24 AM

Yeah competition package too, forgot to mention

rpl77 · 03-18-2015, 05:24 AM

Nice color combo, especially with the bamboo interior! But if you are wanting to switch it up to black interior, mine is for sale

Hep, and I spotted individual audio on top - another $2k option that will give you a nice sound.
Well should you get tired of the V8 tune, which obviously won't happen...

Congrats, looks like it was well kept!

Other than DCT I can't remember ever seeing the same combo I have. We're in a class of our own. Congrats!

Might I suggest IND painted reflectors to replace the orange units?

Given the long list of mods in your sig, I've fixed that for you

Awesome color combo and great price, especially with the Akra! You shouldn't drive in drivelogic 1 though as it starts the car in 2nd and it's harder on the clutch. Enjoy!

xpunisherx · 03-18-2015, 03:54 PM

Congrats on the beautiful ride! I'm liking the interior as others have said!

omegaSMP300 · 03-18-2015, 04:00 PM

Congrats! Enjoy.

loveskiing · 03-18-2015, 04:23 PM

Beautiful ride...clean with low miles!
My only suggestion is to get rid of that Akra exhaust to me for my OEM one; that'll prevent you from getting hate looks from neighbors in the AM when you start it up

Enjoy the car!

Was wondering about that as well. Have only ever driven manuals before and getting used to the DCT so thanks for the tip.

Pretty good price with Akra muffler, all those options and 22K miles.
