Well here it is, I thought well if you are going to have one of the worst to look after paint finishes, might as well have the toughest of them all.

Its held up well really, 10 years old and no bird poo marks, just stone chips and some very light scratches that can barely be seen. Washing it today was a doodle, just a bucket of soapy water and a towel to dry!!

I really like it, the photo's don't do it justice, the lights and reflection shows every lump and bump!! Its not for everyone, but I have wanted a Frozen Edition car and this is the rarest of them all (might be rare for a reason we will see) Anyway here it is:

VERY NICE!

How come you didn't go see the frozen silver one in the end then? I thought you were put off with the whole frozen thing?

You glad to be back in an E92? EDIT - just saw your post above this one (y)

I was after a frozen Silver, but I got a tip off for this rare beastie, so off I went. It is a Frozen Black edition, and only 27 worldwide, so man maths suggest it might go up in value with any luck.

But god yeah, and E92 M3, its good to be back, not the fastest thing in the world, but everything else is spot on "One of my favs"

Lovely car mate, lovely.

Are you looking to hold a few different motors to feed the hobby, or just trying to find the right one?

You where right about the RS5, I am not feeling it. Got a mate that's interested in it. Wasted some money on that! Everything else is staying, or I will be divorced. All this car searching take up so much time and its quite tiring as well.

The M3, I would like to think we be around for a while, its one of those drive and enjoy free motoring, lose no money cars!

Out for a nice run down the beach and have lunch in a nice pub garden, its taking preference over the Fezza

The Audi in my has a much better cabin than the E92 and is a lovely bit of kit but it can't hold a candle to the M3. I remember I had a 3.0TDI A5 and took an E92 for a test drive. Straight off I felt underwhelmed and when I jumped back into the A5 I'd decided I wasn't interested in the M3, but over the next few days after I just couldnt shake the E92 and kept thinking about it. Something had taken hold in me about it. Two weeks later the A5 was gone and my first M car was in it's place. The cabin may be a bit simplistic but what a machine it is.

I used to do it mate and you're right, it's not the money, but the time it takes up.

I think they are awesome, this ones got a nice interior, its full leather with the Ed Stitching, its also got all the options like Individual audio, split arm rest, Individual Carbon Leather trim.

The Audi is a nicer interior, but the M3 is twice the car !

That's it in a nutshell. Everything good about the Audi is on display from the get-go, whereas the M3 has hidden depths that just keep you coming back for more. E92 M3 is one of the best cars I've ever owned.

I think its the best M3 of all, so many have gone up to an E92 M3 and so many have come down from an F8x.

Have you got any pictures of yours ?

Looks greater Boba.

Has the rear glass been given some aftermarket tints because it looks very dark.

Would you consider ppf’ing the whole car to look after that finish? I think I’d end doing so because it would constantly play on my mind.

Loving the red stitching on the interior. Never seen that on an E92 before. 👌🏻

Looks factory to me. There’s no silvery bits round the edges.
