New to me E90 M3 Interlagos Blue Comp. Pkg

Kaura_Saaab · 10-16-2021, 07:48 PM

Hi everyone!

Just picked up a 2011 E90 M3 Competition Package in Interlagos Blue and black interior and I am absolutely in love with this car. Only had 67k miles on the clock. Flew all the way to Missouri and had the opportunity to learn about the car on my way back to Pennsylvania. I have alot of things planned for it, will be starting off with preventative maintenance.

Pros: Last owner did T/A, Alcantara roof liner, One of the last ZCP e90 models made.

Cons: Cars paint can use some love(last owner neglected it), god awful aftermarket muffler on it

:

Will be posting more updates as I get all the work done.

I agree, the car is a whole different experience to drive. Surprised at how much attention it still gets.

Unfortunately the tint was sprayed on so I have to figure out a way to get that off 😒. Also going to get the wheels powder coated in Brilliant silver.

Lovely color. Congrats!

I have an October build too which is the last month of production. I have always been curious how many were made the last month and if mine would be one of the last 1, 5, 10, or 50 E90 ZCP's ever made

Thanks! Mine was built in 06/10 so I think that makes it one of the earlier built ones?

I might be picking up fox red full interior today, wondering how rare that would make my M3. Tried searching for a E90 Interlagos Blue with Fox Red interior but haven't found anything yet.

It wouldn't be rare because it didn't come that way and a VIN search would show that it didn't.

How on earth did you find a full fox red interior so soon after purchase? I've been hunting for 4 years.. and no luck

neilum · 10-17-2021, 11:16 AM

Nice! I am biased but IB E90's with bright silver wheels is so beautiful and classic BMW.

You'll have a great time with it for years.

There are very few cars I would replace my IB E90 ZCP with which is why I still have it.

Agree about the tinted tails, gotta go!

Gotcha that makes sense. I guess if you cant find a rare spec might as well build it yourself

One of my friends who is always looking for car parts came across it and I couldn't say no.

It is from a crashed M3 however fortunately I will have to replace the driver side airbag only. Hoping the swap is PNP and the new airbag won't throw any codes.

Same here, there was a time I used to think taillight tint is cool. IB ZCP looks amazing OEM Imo. Just missing some lowering springs and spacers 🤌🏾

I will be selling my Black interior 😉

akkando · 10-17-2021, 12:55 PM

You made the right choice.

I've seen some IB cars with red interior. There was one in Illinois with no navigation. Superman car.

I swapped my silver interior to black, really just to replace my non fold rear seats with ones that do fold.

Msidhu1 · 10-17-2021, 01:19 PM

Congrats and welcome to the club. Great color choice… of course I am biased…

Thank you! When I saw it in person for the first time i fell more in love with the color. I cant wait to get certain areas of the body resprayed and full paint correction.

Ive seen E92 IB with Red Fox interior combos and they look 🔥.
