Azurite/Amaro 6MT Build

danimpower · 02-04-2021, 11:57 PM

Super excited to be posting here, as I've finally taken delivery of my new (to me) Azurite Black / Amaro 2015 F80 M3 6MT!

About a month ago I decided it was time to part ways with my Estoril Blue 6MT e46 m3 and make the move to the f80. My original intention for the e46 was to make it a street/track build, which I unfortunately wasn't able to pursue in full due to being a college student throughout the majority of ownership, and while attempting to maintain (and often fix) a 20+ year old ///m car.
I'm really hoping that with the f80 I will be able to get proper seat time at some point, but for now I'm just going to enjoy it the way it is - right now I think its perfect

Details
-2015 Azurite Black Metallic / Amaro Brown Ext. Merino Leather
-Driver Assistance Plus Package / Executive Package / Lighting Package
-6spd manual

-49,xxx mi, previously BMW CPO from South Dakota. Purchased from PO in CT.
-MP HAS
-IND painted reflectors / side markers / grille surround
-Turner Motorsport skidplate
-Weathertech floor mats

To Come
-IND polar blue start/stop button
-12 mm / 15 mm spacers (might change this when TE's are on)
-TE37SL Pressed Graphite 18x9.5 +22 / 18x11 +34
-M Perf SS pedal covers
-CF mirror caps

Taking delivery - car was shipped from CT to CA, hence why it is still on snow tires

Safe at home in my driveway, I absolutely love Azurite Black. I wanted
something just as special as estoril blue, and this color does just the trick

Amaro brown....

Was definitely a must for me when looking at f80's to purchase.

I ordered the TE37SL's (just the fronts for now) a few days before I knew the f80 m3 would arrive. I was pleasantly surprised by FedEx when I was on my way out the door to get the new m smogged! Today was an EXCELLENT day, lol

Wow e46 to f80! I feel like all the e46 folks shun the f80. Enjoy the new ride it looks fantastic! Nice collection

Very unique and rare combo! Congrats! I would keep the plate. Those who know what an S54 is will know that it's your old plate and that you have a history w/ M cars.

irunalot · 02-06-2021, 12:40 PM

Both really nice cars! Welcome!

joegie · 02-06-2021, 08:17 PM

congrats, i'll have to keep an eye out for you around sd lol

jives · 02-06-2021, 11:10 PM

It'd be awfully cool if there were somehow, some way to get a rather unique plate. If only there were a guy. I only have "BMW M3" but maybe I'll come up with something unique for ya
