Congrats! That's an awesome pic to have of your car.

Raz335 · 01-27-2011, 01:06 PM

I'm curious how you got that picture as well. That's pretty damn cool though.

Stormtroooper · 01-27-2011, 01:12 PM

NICE! I too am curious how you got the pic, but i'm guessing 20 people asking and not one hint on your end means your not gonna tell.

davem3fan · 01-27-2011, 01:19 PM

Very cool, mine looks the same minus a sunroof...
I just pretend this one is mine.

e92zero · 01-27-2011, 01:38 PM

Video production would be awesome to have!

Congrats, now comes the waiting......

positiveions · 01-27-2011, 04:33 PM

congrats. WHere are the cigars?

Park2670 · 01-27-2011, 05:13 PM

That is an outstanding picture that many people would love to have! Nice work however you did it!

MJM · 01-27-2011, 11:15 PM

Can you replace the Orange reflectors at all, or is it Law in the States that they stay?
Yes I can replace them, I have the replacements waiting to change as soon as it arrives thanks to the great folks at IND.

That's awesome! Congrats! How did you get that photo?
I was very fortunate to have an employee at the BMW Werk in Regensburg track my order for me and then grab a few pics as it finished production. This one means the most to me however so I thought I would post it.

You got a MOONROOF on a ZCP!!!!

Yes, since there is no Carbon Fiber roof for the E90 and since I am not going to track the car, I thought I would enjoy the sunlight and fresh air.

Looks great! Any future plans with it?
Here is what I have ready so far, waiting for it's arrival:

Painted Front Reflectors
M3 "Edition" (real) Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
M3 "Edition" Black Chrome Front Grills
M3 "Edition" Black Chrome Side Grills
BMW M3 Embroidered Floor Mats & Trunk Mat (Summer use)
Akrapovic Slip on Exhaust System with Polished Titanium Tips

Congrats, now comes the waiting......
Still not loaded on the ship yet,

If you guys have any other Mod recommendations, please let me know!!

Thanks for all the congrats, this will be my first M car!!

I was advised no other US Spec Space Gray E90 ZCPs were being built that week. I also have a close-up shot of the build order on the front windshield.

Not to thread jack, but check out this video of my mom's x3 being made. 80% of the video is the same for everyone but then they splice in videos from the production of your actual car ... and then show your car driving off the line. It's really cool... i would go nuts seeing this for my m3 on order.
