Hey all, the bug seems to have bitten me again. I sold my e90 M3 back in December and miss it dearly. Now I'm on to an e92, but I'm looking for a super rare spec car.

Must haves:
e92
CF roof
Speed cloth
No nav
No accidents

Nice to have:
6 spd manual (DCT is fine, but not my initial preference)
< 100k miles
Solid Maintenance history/records
Darker colors but I'm open based on how rare these cars are

My e90 was a 9/10 in condition, RB's done, etc., but for this car, I'm not expecting that. An enthusiast level daily driver is fine as I plan to daily this car (something I didn't do w/ my e90). I definitely don't want an abused/neglected car though.

I understand that I may have to travel/ship a car, hoping a prospective seller can help me arrange/accommodate.

Full disclosure, I'm also looking at an F10 M5, but haven't found the right one yet. At this point, although they're vastly different cars, it's an either/or proposition. If I find the right car, I'll make a move. Have cash in hand.

Thank you!

I'd caution utilizing the stripper for a daily. My E90 was a zero option car that took me a very long time to locate. It was exactly what I wanted, but it was pretty damn Spartan for an everyday commute (mine was more toy than daily even though I found myself driving it to work frequently). The things like heated seats, Bluetooth, etc. become necessary I've realized. BUT with that said, I am completely on board with a no option E9x. Just food for thought.

Why do you want >100k miles? I'm assuming that was a typo.

Thanks for that input. I do have a prius as a current daily but was planning on selling it afterwards. I don't need to sell it though so we shall see. I could always add Bluetooth via a tune2air it similar. You're probably right though, which is why I was considering an F10 M5 in the first place; comfort.

And yes, on the "greater than" lol. It was a typo. Not that I don't know the difference but several of my primary KPI's for my job is to maintain a number at "greater than xx%" lol so I'm so used to typing it out as > xx%. Just habit I guess.
