Popped my cherry!

Peter B · 05-30-2009, 10:46 PM

Well I just picked up a 2009 M3 Coupe in Jet Black/Black with DCT, Tech, Prem, 19's, and some other doo-dads.

I'm beginning to get used to the DCT and fooling around with all the MDrive settings.

I have a 2005 330i but don't see why the media bashes IDrive - it's pretty easy to use and fairly logical!

I'm pretty excited and attached a pic.

This is my first post here too - two cherries popped!

Anyway, just saying hello!

MrHarris · 05-31-2009, 05:16 AM

They bashed the pre 09 Idrive. Nice looking car

DrRT · 05-31-2009, 05:45 AM

They bash idrive because there is nothing negative to say about most BMW and they sound like "purists".

Man - that is hot! I don't care what others say but the M3 is a good-looking vehicle. Still waiting for my SG E90 M3 to turn up in a couple of weeks. OH the pain or waiting!!!

Peter B · 05-31-2009, 11:32 AM

Thanks everybody!

I guess the first thing to mod is me! I need to improve my driving skills - maybe see some of you all at a track day.
