Moved Back To E9X M3

[F80Dreamer]

My F80 was great, but an opportunity came up to buy a 12k mile 2012 Frozen Silver M3. One of forty produced that year, and they came fully loaded from the factory. Previous owner also installed an MPE exhaust. The engine sound is truly epic. Here are a couple of pics.

That interior tho

Nice car - enjoy it! The S54, S62 and S65 engines are among my favorite M engines. All have character and useable power, even on the street. I respect the V-10 S85 engine tremendously, but I never found it usable for every day driving.

so beautiful!!! love the color!
and the engine is a all time classic!!

[Blindside_137]

Love it. Interior will always be classy on the E9x. The sound can't be beat either.

Congrats!

Congrats and makes sense but the worst looking m3 made to date.

Congratulations! Love the alcantara steering wheel.

What's your personal opinion on the F8X vs E9X?

I came from a E90 m3. I prefer F8x better. But this one is very clean

[Super Spartan]

can you post an exhaust clip? congrats on the move by the way!

[Tommy L Garage]

Congrats on the rare car

BUT I'd miss the torque...and the technology inside

That engine noise though is terrific

I don't think the F8x is a huge leap interior wise from the E9x by any stretch. They are pretty comparable imo.

Congrats OP. I had an E90 M3 and it was my favorite car I have ever owned. The sounds it makes are truly epic.

The seats and the torque are the biggest jump. But you can always add Recaro Sportsters and Supercharger kit

Congrats, as long as you are happy, thats what matters the most.

Personally i would not be able to come back, even though my m3 was supercharged and all. F8x is just on another level for me.

After owning two E9X M3’s I could see myself in another one at some point, love that car and engine. Yours looks pristine, congrats

Nice car, congrats

Nah, E36 is imo.

Love E92's. That V8 screams nice. Congrats.

[ando]

Congrats. That's a good find and might me change it up

[JTO24]

My favorite M car, congrats! I still miss mine... maybe I'll get another one day. Yours looks really clean.

Did you find it for sale on here? locally? or online elsewhere?

[ash4390]

Gorgeous car! Makes me want to go back to my E90 M3

Thanks! It actually worked out perfectly, I bought it from my best friend who just wasn't driving it enough. So I am very familiar with the car, history, etc...and made the financial transaction very easy.

Thx, both are truly great cars...for me it boiled down to getting into a very special limited edition, low mileage M car at about half the price of my F80 so I jumped all over it. Def miss some of the tech, the torque, 2 different M modes, etc...but something about the E9X just gives me chills. I used to own a 2011 M3 a few years ago, and to this day it is the one car I wish I never sold. Hoping to hang on to this one for a while
