WTB: 2011 E90 M3, DCT, ZCP, Blue

malacai17 · 04-09-2015, 02:37 PM

JupiterBMW recently had success locating his unicorn on these forums (congrats!), so I'll try my hand at it now. Largely copying his format and wording since I liked it so much and his magic worked.

I am not in a rush to buy, so yes, I know I'm starting off very picky and that there aren't many of these out there. Funds are ready, all I need is the unicorn that you or someone you know owns and are willing to sell.

Absolute Non-negotiable MUST Have:
2011 E90 M3 Sedan
ZCP Competition Package
DCT Transmission
Technology Package
Cold Weather Package
Clean title, clean history

Unicorn Status ...all of the above plus...
Blue exterior (Interlagos or LeMans)
Black, Silver, or Black+Silver leather (no Beige or Red; sorry, not even two-tone)
Moonroof delete
Individual Audio System
Rear Sunshade/Rear Door roller sunvisors

Other Details
- Willing to consider grey or silver exteriors if all other criteria are met
- Looking in the $40-50k range, less is more.
- The lower the mileage the better, but I'm hunting in the 30K range.
- Still has some warranty left (tough at this point, I know), and bonus points for one with CPO status.
- Ideally it should be stock; though of course simple mods like black kidney grills are fine

This will be my first M3, and I promise to take care of it well! Thank you all; what a great forum!

Good luck! i have this combo and bought it used with cpo for 52 k at 8 k miles. Sooooo hard to find!

Sorry Joe, the Black+Red interior's a deal-breaker for me. :-/
GLWS though!

Hah, glad my post gave you some inspiration, or at least a jumping off point. I will say this, I didn't find my car here, I found it on Autotrader.

Either way, good luck with your search!

OP, don't believe a single word that Jupiter says about finding his unicorn on Autotrader… The reality is or should I say the rumor is that he went to Saturn to find it

Actually he and I spent many moons hunting until we found just the right one...have patience, an eagle eye, diligence and lots of good luck and you'll find your baby!

The unicorn has been acquired.

Congrats but don't think for one moment you can get off with one simple line...
We need pics, facts, $$$, etc.

I'm guessing he got this one!

Nice choice!

You are correct, that's the one I acquired. Super happy with it so far, and the drive back was awesome!

It's in the shop at the moment, as I'm getting the exhaust swapped to Dinan and the DCT software installed too. After that I hope to get it sparkling and upload some new high-res pics. The previous owners kept it very clean, and I think the black Dinan tips will complete the ensemble.

Off-topic question: Should I replace the M3 badge with a black one? The badge is just about the last piece of silver/chrome on the car.

Also, the Challenge Race X-pipe and Meisterschaft GT exhaust (plus black Aero shield) will be up for sale within the next week or so, fwiw.
