After looking at several possible replacements I settled on an E92 M3 with DCT.
Here it is in storage along with other BMW’s waiting for 1/9 to arrive.





Not had time today to take many photo's, but here's a couple to be going on with.





Really pleased with it so far.

The only thing I will say (and I'm guilty of it too) is changing the tax disc holder. Have a massive horrific looking thing with all the dealer info on looks fail.
 
Congratulations OP!

I await update photo's with interest & envy!

One of the first things I did with both of my e36's and my e38 was to go & get a BMW tax disc holder! - I did not need to with my e39 as it still has the one it was delivered with (which after 14years still looks surprisingly good!)

I fail I guess..... :o
 
Good choice, enjoy it. Will you be making any mods? New exhaust needs to be done. The Evolve system is a cheaper alternative to the Akrapovic and sounds awesome.
 
Love it. That DCT is a masterpiece.

Would have gone for the 19's thou, as mentioned, the 18's look dwarfed by the tyres.
 
Stunning car, white or metallic grey are the best colours!

DCT is supposed to be stunning, my cousin sold his manual about 18months ago and has just recently bought a DCT laden one and much prefers it.

You have to change those wheels though, horrible small things :p
 
Thanks for all your comments, I'm really pleased with it so far. Not got any plans as far as mods go, but never say never.

With details of the F30 in the press BMW seem to be offering big discounts on E92 M3 at the moment (although not for the E90 or E93 versions). Further discounts can be negotiated, however there was no movement on the price of options or service plans.

I only added DCT as it comes pretty well spec'd. I also bought the 5 year servicing plan for £1000, which I thought wasn't too bad when you factor in the 1200 mile run in service is around £400.

The profile of those tyres looks massive!

Congrats though. Stunning car :)

When I spec'd the car I particularly liked the look of the graphite wheels and did look at the upgrade option which I think was £1290. The upgraded silver 19" M Double spoke wheels do fill the wheel arch better and the lower profile tyre does make the look more sportier, I agree. However I don't think silver wheels look as good as graphite when on a mineral white car. Personal choice I know. Also this car will be used as my daily drive and my commute is 60 miles round trip.

To help my decision the advice I was given was that if after driving/owning the car I feel I really want 19"/20" graphite wheels I could buy a set elsewhere and either sell the standard wheels, use them for track days or even put a set of winter tyres on them. So watch this space.

Will try and post a few more pics up later.
