New YMB M3 Owner

EricP3 · 08-13-2020, 10:38 AM

After poking around on here for a few months and keeping an eye out I finally found a local 2016 YMB/Silverstone M3 6-speed and pulled the trigger. My previous BMW experience was in a 2008 FBO 335i e92 that I sold 3-4 years ago.

CPO 31k miles
Executive Package
Lighting Package
Drivers Assistance Plus
M Adaptive Suspension

Loving the car so far and appreciate all the good info here. I'm trying really hard not to buy any mods but it's not going very well.

Sweet ride congrats!

welcome to the YMB club!

EricP3 · 08-13-2020, 12:38 PM

YMB Gang! I found it pretty interesting that there are only 1,695 M3s in the US in YMB according to the sticky on the production data.

Outstanding!

robrwalker · 08-16-2020, 05:29 PM

Congrats look great.

I just did the same in July, but I couldn't find an F80 so went with F82

simpsobj · 08-17-2020, 09:51 AM

Eyyy congrats, from a (very soon to be) fellow Cincinnati YMB/Silverstone F80 owner! (I also just pulled the trigger, after searching for months. Car should arrive here this week.)

Congrats! I am still looking myself for an M3!

EricP3 · 08-17-2020, 07:34 PM

Haha! Nice.

I just broke down too and bought a M performance rear spoiler.

Rear diffuser shopping now.

This car is gonna rip into my pocketbook!

EricP3 · 09-17-2020, 07:23 AM

My attempts at not modding the car continue to fail.

Added black IND side vents, 15mm spacers all around and XPH m-perf style cf spoiler.

They are the somewhat controversial ones from bulbexpert on ebay. For the price I am fine with them but they don't fit perfect, they aren't completely flush right on the corner but it doesn't bother me too much. I could probably mess with them to get them to fit better if I wanted.
