Azukamii 86 Report post Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Day 470: Had a bit of an unexpected win this weekend! With the help of a couple of mates, we managed to turn the red machine into a rolling mirror. The mirror in question proceeded to win "Best Show & Shine Presentation" at the Euro Club meet over the weekend! The car didn't need much work to be fair, it really did help that the previous owners took such fantastic care of it! Scored myself a wicked polishing machine amongst other super cool goodies! might break it in on the SO's DC5R apologies for orientation. Took them for instagram story thing.

Azukamii 86 Report post Posted March 14, 2020 Day 617: Bit of a bittersweet post today! I've decided to list the M3 up for sale. It's been an absolute fantastic car, but I've made the decision to let it go rather then stay with me and sit in storage to seldom be used. I've also made the decision to aim for my dream car by christmas this year, so the money I get from this will go toward that little goal! The car will not be cheap, however I am absolutely happy to negotiate. I would rather take a cheaper price and know it goes to someone who will love it and give it a more permanent home, than to some kid who will just dump the clutch and crack the subframe 24 hours into ownership :P In saying this, I will not be accepting silly offers, so if you are serious, please keep that in mind. If anyone is interested in the car, or knows of anyone interested, do send them my way. TRADEME:https://www.trademe.co.nz/2576720965 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've just loved them for so many years now. There was a white one that sold for 80k (which I admit one at that price probably wont ever come up again) a couple weeks back and it just flicked a switch. So yeah, giving myself the VERY challenging goal of bringing one in by Christmas. Though in saying that, The M3 has a very special place in my heart, so tbh even if it never sells i'd still be pretty happy 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly will! I know it'll be a long-term sell but at the same time it may not, who knows! also thanks everyone, honestly i was unsure about even mentioning it as I thought it'd be an unfavourable choice especially in a BMW forum 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azukamii 86 Report post Posted May 19, 2020 A little update (for anyone interested) Car has unofficially "sold" An offer has been accepted, and a date for collection has been set. It is a little sad, as I truly wasn't expecting it to sell anytime soon, but highlights of this is I can now look forward to my future automotive dreams/ goals I've told the new owner about the forum, along with keeping in touch with the BMWCC so hopefully the car will stay known! Will post a "final" update when the car is collected and everything is official! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azukamii 86 Report post Posted June 7, 2020 Day #711 A goodbye to one of the greatest cars I've ever had the privilege of owning, and the M3 sized hole in my heart it left behind It's been a fantastic couple years, but as mentioned in previous posts, my paranoia of damaging such a beautiful example of a car held me back from truly enjoying him. the M3's new family came to take him home on Friday. I know it sounds stupid to make a post like this when you willingly sold a vehicle, but its still something that has left me feeling a little sad, however I know the new owner will continue to take fantastic care of this fantastic machine and give it the love and attention it deserves. I have absolutely loved every moment owning this car, and being involved in the community that surrounds these! Everyone has been so friendly, and the friends made will definitely last! This will absolutely not be the last time I own a BMW (even thinking of picking up a rougher E46 later down the line!) I'm sure the new owner will make himself known on the forums/ club soon enough, but I truly do wish him and his family all the best with their latest member! And of course, for those curious, a very strange string of events has led to an example of the aforementioned dream car being available for purchase! (looooong story, but it's currently sitting in my garage!) so that little goal of "by Christmas" may come a few months early! But yeah, a big thanks to everyone I met on the forums, and elsewhere. I'll likely still trawl through the forums for a while yet, but probably more of a lurker than a serial photodumper/ cheesening creator xD 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2425 Report post Posted June 7, 2020 Congrats on the sale and purchase, but cant help but laugh at you not enjoying your M3 for risk of damaging it, and then buying an NSX. The NSX is god level compared to an M3 ? But at the end of the day, its just a car. Fang it and enjoy it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it's certainly a strange one to explain! the Honda, despite having a bigger premium on it, is rough in comparison so i'm not as precious about things like keeping the ks down etc. In saying that, it probably will also fall to the same regime the M3 did haha! I guess the main difference will be the fact that it is a longstanding dream car for me, so even if its seldom used like the bmw was, I wont feel as guilty (or so I hope!)

(i'll post a photo of them all below) I'll just note that the Honda isn't mine (yet), we're still mid negotiating stuff, so I don't wanna upload anything up for sure at the mo, but once its all finalized i'll put some cheeky pics of it up (i'll slap some bmw stickers on it to keep it "relevant" ) Hopefully this will suffice in the meantime! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
