We have to take every protection possible in the NYC area. People can't drive or park.

that is very bad parking lol, but that is also Europe .....the main thing I'd say we as M3 drivers need to worry about in NYC is Cab Drivers, useless MTA drivers, and potholes...for the most part people respect the M and don't tailgate, at least that is what i have experienced, even with Cabbies 60-70% of the time which caught me by surprise because i thought they dont respect shit...but i honestly don't see why anyone would want to street park, i read on there that someone's m got vandalized (keyed) and they were in NYC..if i park its only for 2 minutes and in an area where i can see my car (like when one buys coffe)...i am that paranoid sadly :/

NYC and street parking a nice car is just a terrible idea.

Garage space in Jersey is not too expensive and just a simple trip across on the weekend whenever you want to drive.

When you park in NYC streets unattended, you will expect to get ding and dents. People can't park and don't have respect for other people property. I have seen to many bad drivers and people that don't give a sh*t on what car you have.**When they see a spot they will try to squeeze in even if they don't fit. I am so paranoid that I have to buy a bumper blocker. I will not make the same mistake as my old car. It has to many scratches and dent from people that can't park.*

its insane to think you can park in nyc proper and not get dinged or parking bumped. its simply the way things work in the city. the only alternative is choosing a nice garage parking structure like the time warner building where your car is a civic amongst all the other bentleys and exotics. i used to park there and never had a problem.

good sir, that is precisely why i dont street park! the time i leave to get a quick coffee is legit 1-2 minutes, and luckily that street I go to is practically empty during the week but ya...luckily my building as a garage, and the garage attendants are very cautious , i have my own spot practically its pretty awesome

but my commute is 9 miles and reverse traffic, so every morning I blast it to 100 mph easy and I can get to work in 10 mins if I really pushed it with no traffic

Funny as this sounds, I wish my commute was at least 20 miles one way haha.

what's your plan for washing, waxing, sealing the car? I'm trying to figure out detail products I need for it.

well the dealer actually did a nice prep job, looks like they have a nice coat of wax on it cause the water was beading up really nice...

But I have adams americana wax, and adams quick sealant

I use adams shampoo, a gilmour foam gun, bucket with grit guard, sonax wheel cleaner, one of those easy wheel brushes they sell on detailers domain and then waffle weave towels to dry

interior ive messed with diff products but im ordering 1z cockpit cause i heard great things about it not smearin when getting on navi screens, gauges etc

cool, for interior leather there's only one system I like that smells good and keeps leather pretty awesome - zaino leather cleaner and leather cream. This stuff really works and it's not too expensive either. I used on my other M3, and boy, that leather stayed OEM new till I sold her.

Exterior I'm not sure yet. I do think I'm sold on Opti Seal though. Wax, still contemplating which way I will go. Zaino has been a go to for me, but might go with some Klasse AIO, AF Triple AIO, or Mezerna to experiment. We'll see.
