Melbourne Red E92 M3

[Scutch]

Not normally a fan of red cars (ok, currently own an Ultra Red R26, so that aside), but I thought this was a lovely looking motor:

 

[Jack!]

That is stunning.

 

[leedsboy]

I'm not usually a fan of red cars either, but that is perfect.

 

[Jack!]

It's because of the warmth of the red, if it was just a bog-standard red like on most cars it would look shite.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Would look approx 1200 times better without the tints.
Stunning colour, but the black bits make it to badmanz for me.

Don't the Competition Pack E9x's come with tints as standard?

I'll agree to this. "tintz" ruin it.

Not that dark. Those front's would be illegal.

 

[Knuckles]

That's awesome.

I didn't even notice the tints, I was dripping over dat front end.

 

[Daz.]

I agree that looks great.

It's no Naples red though

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Love that.. The black badges and what not, not so much.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

That's superb :up:

 

[Short Norman]

love that, think you should buy one and sell me your E46 :wink:

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great!

 

[Sam@NP]

The looks the Dogs

Yes Please

 

[ColinG]

Yeah, im loving that! :up:

 

[-Jamie-]

Looks awesome! Red suits pretty much every M car. The e46 looked immense in Imola as well

 

[cat171]

Love it!

Red looks much better on E92's / 93's than it does the E46.

 

[roryb]

Looks awesome!!

 

[Lal B3N]

That looks stunning!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Yep, that is car p**n right there!

 

[C.J]

Proper nice. Underrated colour really on the E9x

 

[Adam93]

Looks lovely, although the splitter looks as though its held on with Blu Tac.... tacky IMO and FFS why do people think Black Kidney grills and Black M badges look good...

I like the black kidneys, or rather I dislike them silver - I think it's an alright mod if it matches the car, looks good on red - @C.J has black kidneys and black wheels on his 335i if I remember rightly and it looks the dogs. I prefer a matte black though, gloss black is too tacky. The red M3 in this thread would look better with matte black wheels - or a very dark grey, like charcoal, so the tyres don't stand out so much.

 

[Adam93]

Never liked the Black grills on any period of BMW, especially on the older models, E30 M3 etc...

Anthracite wheels would look nice on this M3. Not a big fan of black wheels, my 197 has Satin black wheels and i think they look shite although thats about to change.

Yeah, fully black wheels kill the detail - I have matte gunmetal on my Clio, really pleased with the colour.

 

[Herr Flick]

That splitter is horrific.

 

[George182]

LOVE it.

 

[JackJack]

Stunning car.

You're right.

I've got matte black kidneys and wheels on my E92. Silver kidneys (IMO) look SE spec.

I wrapped all 4 wheels in new rubber today, no longer the stretched look, will update my thread at the weekend.

 

[Adamm.]

That is awesome.

 

[TimR26]

Looks great!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Awe sum.

Love it

 

[Ian_182]

Wish it had silver wheels and less tint tbh...

 

[Jekyll]

Friggin' love that!

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah i'm not really a BMW fan but even I have to admit that, is f*cking nice!

 

[-Rob]

Looks superb, bright silver wheels and less tints and it would be absolute perfection.

One lives up the road from me but he drives it like a complete tool. Plus side is, Sounds awesome!

 

[Lee in Scunny...]

I have a mineral white m3 comp with eisenmann system fitted. The sound is something else at 8k revs.

Lee

 

[ROB91]

Thats amazing.

 

[Rob]

I'm not normally a big fan of red either, but wow.

 

[Tim.]

I'm pretty sure I drove past one of these yesterday. It's not a colour I've seen in the metal before but this one had a carbon (effect?) bonnet and took the mean front-end to a whole new level.

Looked like a mature driver behind the wheel, too. Lucky man!
