So my choice will not be a surprise to anyone here I gues.......................

Hi...
so you know what I say...You can simply walk near the gates and take pics. I felt like a petty thief taking these pics...because they opened the door to me...but there are not restrictions and there are not warning notices.

And what you felt looking at that combination, I felt yesterday

Hey the last picture the black m3 has a sunroof or what??
You can't order een m3 with sunroof is it possible?

On the upside we get to go through a 26 mile tunnel under the sea!

I was invited inside the cockpit of a left side drive car (normal standard for all Europe).But another M3 was present and I have taken the pic,with a right side hand drive (for UK standards). You can see that they are two different cars from the licence plate numbers...Bye

Yes I`m with you

I could not take pictures, it was not allowed. The message was loud and clear, they told it right away at the entrance.

Concerning SS2; it realy must be seen IRL, the pictures on screen do not represent it wel, in fact, it is verry bad on screen................................so is the Fox Red.......................

Now what I don`t understand that this combination is NOT reccomended by BMW, according to South

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with all of us.

I am leaning toward Jerez now, even though the roof will lose its detail. I have a carbon black M3 and I just love that color. It is a shame the new M3 is not available in carbon. But Jerez seems a close substitute.

Big Windy · 08-07-2007, 11:58 AM

wow you are very lucky. i got a tour through the M facility about 2 months ago when I was down in munich. i just walked in and asked if i could see the cars and somebody took me back. never had a test drive though. thanks for the info about silverstone. sounds great!

you sound like a kid in a candy store... haha sweet pics!

mwilli · 08-07-2007, 05:38 PM

I really want the Jerez black but living here in Seattle makes that a farily stupid choice with the drizzle we receive.

I am a bit saddened to hear about the white since I was 99% sure that was going to be my color.

I have already owned two Silver BMW's so this may be my 3rd then.

OK ..
NOW IS TIME FOR ME TO THANK ALL YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS..I ABSOLUTELY HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE HEART IN MY HANDS,SINCE THIS IS MY CARACTHER. I HOPE THAT MY COMMENTS DIDN'T DAMAGE THE COLOUR'S CHOICE FOR SOME OF YOU...FOR SURE THIS WAS NOT MY INTENTION AND CAREFULLY I TOLD MANY TIMES, THAT THOSE WERE ONLY MY PERSONAL OPINIONS.
THANKS A LOT AGAIN.

I need to go back to Germany. That sounds like a hell of a day. You'll remember that one for a while buddy. Congrats.

jpm3 · 08-09-2007, 10:30 AM

cheers! good post.

I wish that red one was a clear shot. I'm in between Red or Interlagos blue.
