U94/2's Individual Fire Orange M3 Coupe: A Photo Modification + Euro Delivery Journal
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com One day, FINALLY, I got the call from Ryan giving me the good news: "We got approved!!!" From there it was a lengthy process to schedule ED, and await for all the different BMW parties to communicate and get everything worked out. So the order was finally placed, finalized, and approved: 2011.75, Individual Fire Orange, M3 Coupe, Black Novillo leather, Carbon Leather, 6MT, Convenience Package, Premium Package, BMW Apps, SAT Radio, Smartphone Integration, Carbon Fiber Roof, Spoiler Delete, and iPod/USB Adapter. From there, the European Delivery dates were confirmed: August 19th 2011! Time to start planning We opted to make our trip August 15th - 23rd and go from Munich to Florence Italy via the infamous Stelvio Pass; a lifetime goal of mine! (Yes, pictures below :P ) I need to make a quick note here, and let everyone know that my experience with Ryan Amico was definitely THE BEST car shopping experience of my life. Everything was easy, documented, communication was outstanding, and it was just incredible at how well everything came to life so easily. I will *never* buy another BMW from anyone else other than Ryan. Mind you, I am 3,000 miles away! So here it is! A journal from my European Delivery trip up unti the mods that I have collected while waiting for the car to get to the US, and finally now my Performance Center Delivery next week. Here is the current mod list of parts I've bought so far, as well as the parts that will be purchased over the next few days: Current Mod List of parts waiting for the car: IND (OEM) Reflectors painted Fire Orange OEM M3 Edition front grilles OEM M3 Edition side grilles OEM BMW Performance Carbon Fiber Spoiler ESS Tuning Direct Flash AFE Stage 2 Intake System MORR MonoForged VS8.2 (Gloss Black) Bridgestone RE-11 (245/35/19 & 275/30/19) Mods to be purchased over the next few days: Stoptech Trophy ST60 380mm BBK KW Sleeve Over Suspension System Akrapovic Evolution Titanium Exhaust System Turner Motorsport Pulley Starck Performance Spur Carbon Fiber Front Lip Challenge USA Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser Pictures on Post #2 - enjoy!

Taking off from Miami to our Connecting flight in Charlotte - needless to say, we were a bit delayed The famous "Kidney Grilles" awaiting in Munich Airport! Can't go to Munich without stopping by the Hofbrahaus for a beer! M Studio tour!! Thanks Christine, Tyler, and Max! A few little gifts from the folks at the M-Studio - THANKS guys!! From the M-Studio to the Welt in Style (in an F10 550i) - Tour of the Welt the day before delivery! S65 at the Welt just chillen! The day has come! Delivery day!! The view from up top. If you could only see the smile on my face at this point... Ohh what I did for this little badge!! My custom engraved key-chain from the Welt - Monte Carlo Blue and Fire Orange drawing lots of attention. Crowds were gathering taking pictures! Funny German guy helping put the front bra on (which ended up being for the E9x Non-M; pwn3d!) Mesmerized at the S65! MCB + FO = WIN! Off to Innsbruck! *Firenze, Italy via the Stelvio Pass, here we come! Look at those turns!!! Firenze, Italia - HERE WE COME! Welcome to Florence! Just HAD to take a picture of this one - where it all began! Drive through Tuscany to the Vineyards in Gaiole in Chianti! Back in Munich to drop off the clear. Pressure washing all those bugs off! As we were at a gas station by the drop off point, another ED customer had just picked up his new Space Grey E92 M3 - congrats!! Sadness Dropping off the cars! Airbus A380-800 back from Frankfurt! That's it for now - stay tuned for more!!! Last edited by U94/2; 10-12-2011 at 01:49 AM.. |

So, this time around, I figured I'd skip the mess all together, order the BMW Performance spoiler (which I was set on anyway), and not have to worry about it! Plenty of updates over the next few days, to stay subscribed!! |

Great pics, I think our cars were built alongside one another, they are literally identical....
Good to see more Fire Orange II M3s around before production STOPS...... Enjoy in the best of health.
