I agree that the E92 isn't aging well, at least based on looks, but thats an E90 (sedan) in the photo. I think the E90 LCI has aged well and still looks great.

Just wait a few years until all those poorly maintained E9Xs that all the kids are driving these days break and get scrapped due to neglect. The value hasn't plummeted for the well maintained ones, especially those equipped with the 6 speed manual transmission.

Great pictures!!! Some of the few pictures of all generations up to date not taken by a company, hopefully you guys can get an E30 next time, that would be so awesome, this shows how all Ms kept one thing in common, style!!!

E46 aged well. E90 is aging better than G80 will. It's a 16 year old design… that's mind blowing

The e90 looks smaller because physically it's smaller than f80 and g80

olz_e91 · 09-23-2021, 04:33 PM

Awesome photos. I would happily own any one of those, but given the choice, the e90 M3 is my favourite 😊 it’s nice to see them all lined up and really see the differences 👍🏻

ellipsis212 · 09-23-2021, 05:03 PM

What's that red car?

Eja144 · 09-23-2021, 05:10 PM

E90 and E30 have aged the best out of all M car designs, IMO.

Forzanerazzurri · 09-23-2021, 05:18 PM

Look at that GOAT e46

I had the same E90 M3 for but in the picture it looked like a 1M sizewise

Nice job and great photos!

What the hell are you talking about. Values on E9Xs are going up in a meaningful way compared to the rest of the market. As for it not aging well… you're entitled to your opinion as is everyone, however you're in the minority lol.

Got every generation of the M3 minus the E30, which was a bit harder to find but made for a great photoshoot.

Great to get different colored cars for each generation and to get one of the only M3 GTs in America!

Car owners instagram accounts:

@E36.M3GT:
British Racing Green E36 M3 GT
Interlagos Blue E46 M3
San Marino Blue F80 M3 CS

@Dime.M3:
Jerez Black E90 M3

@ProdigyM3:
Toronto Red G80 M3

All photos were taken by me, ProdigyM3. Hope you all enjoy the content, hopefully next time we can get an e30 involved!

You should make giant wall canvases out of them and sell them!!! They would sell like crazy!!!

Going to agree with LemonOne here. The E90 is not aging well whatsoever, unfortunately.

I've owned both E92 and E90. Each to their own.
Of course well maintained Ms will always appreciate in value.
Just my 0.02 cents.

TractionControlDelete · 09-23-2021, 09:12 PM

The E90 M3 is the best looking Bimmer ever and I need one in my life

440xiGCMSport2 · 09-23-2021, 09:15 PM

E46 and F30 for the win! perfect colors also.

jscho24CS · 09-23-2021, 09:33 PM
