Bought this on Thursday over in England and drove it home via Holyhead that evening. Another e9x M3 :oops:.

Why another white coupe as well? As much as i loved the look of the last one it was very base spec model which was always at the back of my mind thinking about it long term. This one has less miles, lci rear lights and a lot of the options combined with the beautiful extended red leather inside.

It drives and handles superbly with EDC and on comfort mode soaks up the bumps a lot better than the previous one without it ever did. I can't stop looking at the interior, its just stunning up close! Credit to the last owner for maintains it so well, i intend on keeping it way (y).

I might do a few bits here and there to do it over time but as it sits now I'm extremely happy and can't wait to get out for another blast in a few mins!

Very nice (y) I would love an M car at some point, just not practical for me at the minute.

Looks great (y)

You are getting as bad as @Peadar with M3 collecting haha.

Enjoy

Thanks, its not that I'm collecting them or buying to sell on at all. Rather theres no other car for similar money that interests me!
I plan on keeping this one a good while, at least till the lci M4 comes out :p

No idea, he put it up ages ago and last i spoke with him he was keeping it so not sure why he hasn't removed the advert tbh.

Was looking forward to this thread. Love the extended leather, real nice touch. Every time I think I'm settled with the Clubman you buy another one of these and the want for an M3 starts again!

Looks awesome, I have been looking at these myself recently, They are holding their money well (y)

Cheers, yeh they haven't really dropped at all in a year!

Stunning car @m5lvyn congrats I'm sure over time you'll add your own touches and have it sitting perfect.

Yeh lots of little bits to tidy up like new badges etc and it needs a solid clean

Looks superb mate. I'm sure you enjoyed the road trip home :grinning: enjoy!

Ha yes it was fun! Welsh roads are good for a blast it two. Cheers.

As I said yesterday....stunning!!

HTD young man

Thanks Andy!

Very nice...you planning the 359's and a little drop??

Yeh, has to be done on them!

Looks mint. Seats look in really good order,I find bmw seats wear quite badly and go very shiny.

Cheers, agree the M seats with the softer leather Do need more maintainence. Luckily the pervious kept on top of them.

Hard to believe that's 6 year old. Stunning, would love one but a long way off yet lol

I know still looks only a few years old in my eyes too, I think the e9x shape has aged well and still looks modern. I love them anyway lol. Thanks.

Lovely looking M3 Mel, I'm sure with a few of your usual tweaks it'll look even nicer.

You're a proper M3 addict.

Never really liked those wheels on white cars but looks like you plan to change them anyway.

Gorgeous example and the leather looks great. (y)
