My "new" 2008 Interlagos E90 M3
Finally found it! I feel like i been searching for this car for decades, even though its only been a couple of years. The E90M is the perfect compliment to my E36M with over 260K miles on it.
2008 E90 M3 Interlagos Blue, Black Novillo Leather Comfort Access Tech Package Premium Package 46,000 miles Bone Stock  Took me a couple of weeks to clean it up, but I finally got time to polish paint, wax, and take some pictures. I removed the tinted windows the day I got it, and had to cut out the inside squee-gee as it was all rolled over and making the windows squeal as the rolled up and down, as well as scratching the tinted windows. I was hoping pics would turn out a little better. There was this gnarly storm in the distance, so on my way down the canyon it started hailing/thunder/lightning. At the top of the peak it was awesome. In the distance it was clear as could be on one side towards the ocean, and the storm was brewing inland. My point & click didn't do the view justice...         Thanks for looking |

Also, my wife is not a fan of tinted windows. We have two M3's in the garage right now, so I did not have a problem "compromising" to remove the tint  |

Gorgeous! Great color with a lot of personality. Very blue here, purplish under the lights. I removed the tint on the one I bought last year, much prefer the car without tint anymore...cleaner look and love being able to see the interior, nice contrast.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I agree about the tint. As I get older I like the clear vision out of the windows, and being able to see inside to the interior from the outside. I never keep anything valuable inside anyways, so its not like the tint was preventing people from seeing things they would want to steal. That being said, I like the tint on the e36. =)

looks great, rare color, and a great area of the country to own an M3! enjoy!
May I ask how much you purchased this for? B/c my car is almost exactly the same except for the color.

Looks awesome. Post some pics of your E36 along with the E90.

Here's a couple of the E36M. Purchased in 2004 with 62K miles from the original owner. It now has 267K and counting. For what its worth, I have owned the E36 for over 10 years and put over 200K miles on it, and I have been the only person to do work to it. After 1 week of owning the E90M, I had to take it to a mechanic to get a new battery.  Hoping I can learn how to code relatively easily to avoid that hassle in the future...     Thanks again for the kind words!

Great car, and well bought. I paid $30K for my '08 in June '14 w/ 69Kmi. (from a dealer). Nice to see the '08s still holding their own in the market.
And we seem to have similar taste

Congrats on the purchase! Interlagos is one of the best blues to come out of BMW. I've gone through three e36s and still can't kick the habit, but I'm sure the power from the s65 is welcome addition. Enjoy

Congrats! Love the color, and respect your patience. How do you like the 2008? I'm eventually going to be in the market, and I'm torn between pre/post LCI for the e90. I've heard horror stories about the iDrive on 08's.
Thanks for any insight!
