Sparkling Graphite E90 M3

Matt@AUTOcouture · 05-29-2015, 02:40 PM

Hey guys just wanted to jump in here to say hello and introduce you to my 'new to me' E90 M3 that I picked up a few months ago. Coming from a couple of E46's this is a nice change of pace. Being around so many over the years at ACM I saw how these were long term and realized it was a great choice to go with for the power, comfort, and money as a daily driver. No offense to you E92 guys, but the coupe was completely off the table. Had to have four doors and three pedals and was lucky enough to find this.

Some of the Specs:
Sparkling Graphite
Extended Fox Red
6MT
Comfort Access
Ohlins R/T Coil overs
Kinesis K28 19" (original faces brushed, with smoke tinted clear, custom machined center caps, and rebarreled to 9.5" & 11" by Mark @TheeDeported)
LCI Trunk with Euro Ambers
Gintani NA Tune
ACM Exhaust mod //// Full Highflow catted Gintani custom exhaust with CF tips (ran for a brief period then taken off)
RKP GTS front lip
Mode Carbon Trunk Spoiler
Rogue Engineering SSK
OEM F10 M5 Shift Knob

ACM Test Pipes + ACM Exhaust + Gintani Flash tune with Burble

Fantastic color combo - never seen it! And great choice in mods. Enjoy in good health.

w0ady · 05-29-2015, 07:17 PM

Looks great! Love the color but I am a bit biased.

s14_kev · 05-29-2015, 07:20 PM

Love it! What tips are on the OEM exhaust mod? They look meaty to match the sound

chich · 05-29-2015, 07:34 PM

Looking good man! Can't wait to see this thing come along

BobS · 05-29-2015, 07:59 PM

Looks amazing Matt, jealous your in cali !!

Amirsm3 · 05-29-2015, 08:30 PM

Totally in love with that color! Nice pick up!

Blindside_137 · 05-29-2015, 08:54 PM

It's an absolute beauty!

Gotta agree when I jump to the E9x M platform it will be an E90. I'm tired of two doors.

Enjoy!

STooK · 05-30-2015, 12:31 AM

Wow one of the cleanest e90's I've seen! Never thought much of SGM but this is beautiful. What tips are you running?

loveskiing · 05-30-2015, 01:29 AM

Sweet looking ride...Great find!

Nice, yeah Mark is a great dude. Definitely passionate about what he does and knows his stuff when it comes to splits.

Magna Flow 3.5" Dual wall tips. Yeah I strongly dislike the stock rolled wall tips.

Thanks Bob! Hold it down for us back home. Everyone that came by the shop always stopped to check your car out and rightfully so!

They're OEM off of Sal's F80. Was testing out some new spacers, so I slapped em on for a few days.

Quicksilv3r · 06-02-2015, 11:47 AM

so clean w/o tints..classy

AdonM3 · 06-02-2015, 11:52 AM

So much yes. You have a beautiful car. Nicely done

W/// · 06-02-2015, 02:35 PM

Best. E90. Ever

Team Stock Kidney Grilles ftw

On a serious, if you are ever in South Carolina, let me know. We'll have to go out for a photoshoot, it'd be mind blowing.
