Got the car yesterday and I am having an absolute blast. This thing is a beast. I don't know how I will survive the first 1200 miles!

Have MANY mods planned for this thing but for now I'll give you guys some pics....

The 1200 mark comes quiker than you think, I am getting my service done on Wed and got the car 11/29. It's been a blast thus far.

I hope so, it's day 2 and I only have 210 miles on the odo... At this rate I'll be there in 10 days!

Mod bug is hitting me... Wednesday comes the minor stuff!

MrHarris · 12-22-2009, 05:18 AM

List the mods you're going to do! I got hit by the mod bug pretty hard myself... but it sure is fun

I forget how beautiful a stock M3 is.

Eau Rouge · 12-22-2009, 11:08 AM

Congrats! Very nice pics -- Jerez

.

Thanks for sharing.

cipher5 · 12-22-2009, 11:10 AM

Gotta love Jet Black! What do you have planned for it?

Green///Hell · 12-22-2009, 11:16 AM

Looks great stock in Jet Black love it just needs a drop

radz182 · 12-22-2009, 11:21 AM

Congrats!

Where the f*ck is Santa when I need him!

GTM · 12-22-2009, 11:34 AM

Oh me too... Coming from a widebody 335, I have to admit, all the mods on a 335 combined doesn't hold a candle to a stock M3.

Concerning mods, I'm just getting the essentials on Wednesday(grills, reflectors, side markers, angel eyes) but I plan on adding these in the future:

radar detector
back-up camera
iPod ashtray dock

some sort of front bumper, still unsure what looks best on Jerez... I'm in love with Ericcson but I'm unsure if the lines will show on the black.
Arqray rear diffuser? Still debating.
Ericcson Trunk

WHEELS... P40's? LM-R's? RS's? So many choices! I need help! 19" or 20"?
Plan on doing an aggressive stance with some spacers.
KW V3

and I don't know! I'd love for this thread to be a collective experience as you guys can suggest things that you think would look great on the car!

Ha! It's actually Jerez! Because of the overcast the color takes on the stealth persona but once the light hits the car you can see the hint of blue.

I gotta say, man, I'm definitely blessed.

shaunt · 12-22-2009, 11:42 AM

Soon I will have to start thinking about an exhaust... That will be a nightmare. The last one I had on my 335 had so much drone that it made the driving experience torture. I've been looking at the Gintani exhaust but I'm afraid it might be too loud. I would love to have an exhaust that has as little sound as possible in the cabin yet sounds beautiful on the outside(raspy, mean).

And a powerchip tune in the near future

Ryan@IND · 12-22-2009, 11:44 AM

congrats on the car!

Great list of mods for the car and where is my Santa?

anthony @ eas · 12-22-2009, 12:42 PM

As much as I enjoy EVERYTHING about this car... my stock audio has to go!

I had logic7 on my previous car(335i) and I couldn't believe how bad the quality was(not bad, just not to my standards). What audio setups are you guys running right now?

OC ///M · 12-22-2009, 02:32 PM

Congrats, welcome to the club. Glad to see you enjoy the OEM wide-body variant more. You can't go wrong with the Powerchip tune on this vehicle, esp. coupled with their high octane map.

Merry Christmas!

sti05ak · 12-22-2009, 03:34 PM

Congrats man! Shes beautiful, Cant wait to see some of the mods start to take form! Best of luck and enjoy in good health brother...
