i finally got it!!!!!!

Alpine white, Fox Red, CF Roof, 19 inch wheels, Nav, Bluetooth, Light package and other stuff lol!

i had the car for more than a week now and here is what i think of it:

Exterior: Instantly it is more agrresive than the E46 M3 and is much more beautiful! (pics don't do this car any justice)! U will be able to tell that the car is bigger and wider! The front looks sooooo agresive yet neat! The lines are very beautiful and flows very well. My car was standing next to another alpine white M3, but with no CF roof, my car looked MUCH prettier and sportier! go for the CF roof no questionss asked! trust me on this one! i sued to drive the E46 M3 with the roof open and the back mirrors tiltes at all times during winter! But the CF is woth it! ( although i still wish i can tilt the rear windows). The side view mirrors gives the car a very mean and sporty, yet elegant look! very very beautiful!

Interior: The fox red is just so damn sexy, and teh feel of teh leather is like no other leather i have every seen! very soft...its amazing! ...its wider from inside as if i was sitting in a 5 series..... I did not like the way the interior looked in the pictures, i felt it was not focused on the driver, but trust me, it is a deferent story when u actually sit in the car. The dials r sooooo beautiful and the Nav screen is tilted a bit towards the driver.

Rear seats r more comfy than the E46 M3, over all the car has more space! ....ooh i alomost forgot, the stearing wheel feels GREAT!! i don't get they guyz who say its 2 think!!!!!!!! i LUV it

the Drive:
its very coll to start the car with the key less option and start button! The car sounds normal on idle, but once u start revving it...ooooooh GOD! ....The RPM red light is deferent than the E46 M3, the red line does come down as teh car warms up, i don't knw how to describe it, but it moves like mercury, its very cool.

The car drives VERY smoothly, u feel the V8 all the way from the 1st gear! The gear shift throw is shorter than the stock (if this is not a fact, well atleast its how i felt it was)!! ......The car carry it self when driving, i mean u can just step on the gas a bit while on 4th gear and @ very low RPM and speed, the car will just start moving and take off smoothly! u wont feel the need to shift to 3rd 2nd, i find that amazing!

u can feel that the car has ALOOOOOOOT of power in every single gear, and when stepping on the pedal (gently). i just can not wait till the break in is over, i have done a bit more than 200 kmh only!!!!!!!!! i have to do 2,000 kmh!!! long way for me!

I have driven the car with the sport button switched onn, i instantly felt the deference like when i did with the E46 M3, u feel the stearing and teh suspension becomes stiffer and sharper. 2 bad i can not go nuts with the car YET! ...the brakes feel very strong! i will only be able to test them properly after the break in period!

the steering feel: well, as i mentioned, i can not go nuts with the car, so i can not tell how it performs and how it actually feels under hard driving conditions, but i can say it is mush smoother than the E46 M3, and i like that!

i think u guyz in the US r gonna luv the way this car drives with ur huge highways! I thought the car will grow on me, but beleive me its ALL OVER ME now! i have totaly forgotten about the E46 M3 (it will alywas be in my heart though)! i just feel i am blessed to be able to own the new M3.

Go get it guyz, and just ignore all the crap that is being written about the car!

Here r some pics, it is an arabic site so just look at the pic and dont try to read! lol..... BTW My M3 is the frist M3 in my country till today!

Well, that's a boy who loves his exclamation marks!!!!!!!

I'm not really getting a feel for his opinion of the car from the review, though. Do you think he likes it...?

Hah, hah - I went to the omani site and there was one dude who had written this on the post re this M3:

نطالب بإنشاء حلبه خاصة للسيارات في السلطنة

in red. First, one wonders what he was so adamant about - second, I guess our English text looks as crazy to an Arabic writer as Arabic text does to us.

Thanks - so nothing about the M3 I guess there's some regional jealousy about Bahrain getting the F1 limelight
