Best color IMO, I settled for white due to a dozen more important criteria. NOT a fan of fake or superficial carbon tho, it must be functional like the roof. If it doesn't save mass or add quality I'll pass. The fenders are factory carbon but would look like a half repaired accident rig if not painted.

I bought this exact model and everyday I fall a little more in love

I still own my 2011 E92. I've owned everything from Golf GTI to Porsche 911 to audi r8 plus, lambo hurracan, none of them can compare to the all round greatness of the E92 M3. The fuel eco sucks, but that sound is unmatched. With a few simple mods ( either the oem exhaust mod or Decat and sound dampening removal) you can get a sound that is completely unique on the road. Nothing sounds as good as this thing imo. It's not the fastest car around by modern standards, but its a drifting dream and I love it. Mine is creeping towards 30k miles now, im tempted to slow down use so that I can maintain it for the inevitable future classic status.

The E9X M3 is a future classic for sure. It’s timeless design coupled with the fact it’s the last naturally aspirated M car (and only M3 to have a V8) will keep this desirable well into the future. The engine has so much character and I love how you have to wring it’s neck to get every last bit of performance from it. The S65B40 didn’t win international engine of the year 5 years running for nothing. I’ve got a 2011 comp pack E92 M3 in Mineral White and I love it more every time I drive it. I’ve had it 3 years and I’ve yet to feel any signs of boredom. I’ve done a fair few mods to it over the years and the one that made such a big improvement was the OEM exhaust mod. I went for the 2.5 option and it’s perfect imo. Gentle on the throttle and you’d think it was stock, stamp your foot down and the car truly comes alive and roars like mad. Paul at PCW Exhaust Mods did mine, but Chris Batten at Mod Stock does equally as good work. Definitely get in touch because it’s reasonably priced to do. I’ve also fitted a GTS style carbon splitter to the front which sets it off perfectly, although your M performance corner splitters look good too. Next week I’ll be having the full Eventuri setup fitted to the car: Carbon plenum, intake and airbox lid. I can’t wait. It’ll be like a V8 CSL. Certainly not cheap, but it completely transforms the sound of the engine, and imo induction noise > exhaust noise. I also upgraded my angel eyes to a crisp white to make it look a bit more modern. Fitted a genuine m performance spoiler like yours, gloss black M3 boot badge (same size as oem) and had a leather flat bottom steering wheel finished to oem spec. Spacers finish the look of the car and give it a great stance. I opted for 12mm all round but most people go 15 up top and 12 rear. Enjoy the car, it’s truly an end of an era machine and I plan to keep mine for a long time.

Great review! I looked into purchasing one back in 2010, and again in 2018 as a used proposition. I agree with your assessment that although the intake sound is amongst the best for a vehicle anywhere close to this price range, the exhaust is very quiet from inside. I also agree that the DCT isn’t nearly as bad as some people like to make it seem. The manual version of this car isn’t anywhere near as good as some other transmissions in my opinion.

Bought a Java green competition E92 M3 about 6 months ago with upgraded Alcon brakes on the front. Never driven one with stock brakes so I can't compare but these certainly do the job. Only thing missing was the exhaust noise so I went for the stock exhaust mod and now it sounds like it should. Throttle actuators are already out for a rebuild which is disappointing for a 40k mile car but I knew it was never going to be a cheap one to run

What these reviews don't tell you is you are constantly worried about the engine is it warm what oil should I put in , wait for oil level to register have the actuator been done do I need the rod bearings need doing the seatbelt butlers don't work the fuel bong comes on constantly the rear diffs leak and some one kept up with me in a seat cupra while I use 8 tonnes of fuel.

great car indeed. I can barely beat the grip on the e46 m3 except in gear 1 . cant wait for winter to rectify that lol great car and probably at a great price as the value of some F series M4s are now 25k so the e9x is the model to buy at the moment as they wont shift quickly unless the price is reduced

I have a manual one from 2007 and I agree with most of your comments. The handling is well described as the engine! As for the brakes, I have just Pagid RS29 front and rear, and despite the noise it's much better. Exhaust with decent noise are insanely expensive. One weakness for me in France is the size of the car. Not that comfortable with hooliganism on b-roads like I have been with my Z3m roadster 😊
