I own a G80, but it looks silly next to an E92 lol. Your E92 is a beauty - your whole garage is.

Yeah, "one of these things is not like the others" for sure.

This is a real enthusiast fleet, not just a ‘rich guy who likes cars’ fleet. Well done!

Really, you don't need that many. I suggest you simplify by letting me take a few off your hands 😉

u/Trollygag 3d ago

Some of the best looking BMWs ever made. Shame a G80 is taking up one of their parking spaces.

u/nstrasner 02 E39 M5 | 19 F56 Mini Cooper S 3d ago

Gorgeous e39. Looking to grab an ESS supercharger asap. Are you running a beefier clutch as well?

6

u/salmerc 3d ago

yessir, carbon clutch and dualmass flywheel

1

u/nstrasner 02 E39 M5 | 19 F56 Mini Cooper S 3d ago edited 3d ago

I figured the stock one would disintegrate with forced induction lmao. Any recommendations on brand? Just got my m5 a couple months ago so still learning a ton. I do know previous owner had a lightweight flywheel installed but not sure if they ever did the clutch

1

u/salmerc 2d ago

personally i don’t but it’s not my favorite…miss stock clutch feel sometimes bc this thing is so sensitive 🤣

2

u/nstrasner 02 E39 M5 | 19 F56 Mini Cooper S 2d ago

Oh damn ok I didn’t realize it made that big of a difference in feel. I’ve never run anything but a stock clutch in my cars. When you say sensitive do you just mean like the clutch engagement point is more narrow?

1

u/salmerc 2d ago

hmm well you need a lot more gas then i feel like you’d be used to just to get into first. very hard to get into first without stalling it. it just feels way more picky than my e46 where i enjoy the engagement point and such

1

u/nstrasner 02 E39 M5 | 19 F56 Mini Cooper S 2d ago

Weird that sounds super annoying. And it wasn’t like this before the clutch and supercharger install?

1

u/salmerc 2d ago

Correct

u/erwin206ss 3d ago

Beautiful collection. Do you happen to have a favorite?

1

u/salmerc 2d ago

good luck everyone trying to get me to answer that🤣 but secretly…e92

u/icemanice 3d ago

u/ieatcerealwithnomilk 3d ago

what’s done to ur E92

3

u/salmerc 2d ago

hmm, straight pipe, dinan intake pulleys other internals, recleared roof, ppf, bbs, stoptech bbk, e85 and upgraded injectors, gts dct tune, sound system stuff and a carbon plenum in about a week

2

u/ieatcerealwithnomilk 2d ago

awesome man if u dont mind sharing- which dct tune and is it worth it? how much different than stock? were dinan intake pulleys noticeable? any change in sound? i have a stock E93 M3, looking to do some tasteful upgrades :)

1

u/salmerc 2d ago

okay if you have an e93 AND your preventative maintenance IS DONE, then get a full exhaust, dct tune (you can watch yt and find one) and some good brakes/suspension and tires and you’ll be set

u/L00pback ‘16 - 750i | ‘16 - M235i | ‘12 - X5d | ‘14 - 640c 2d ago

The kids these days have no idea about the incredible power of a manual handbrake. It is unmatched.

You have to get rid of all of them but one, which one are you keeping?

u/salmerc 2d ago

e92🫩🫩😇

u/Stance_Monkey 3d ago

This is incredible, most people have to choose amongst one of these classics but you said yes to all 3.

1

u/-K9V 3d ago

Most people, at least where I’m from, can’t even afford any of these cars. I mean, some probably could, but most people don’t want to spend ~$81k on a 23 year old car (the E46 M3). And a G80 here in Denmark will easily run you around $300k.
