Great pictures!

Thanks again for all your hard work.

When do we get the video?

What is that contraption between the two rear seats? Looks like a mult DVD catridge loader.

Drinks holder! It comes with the Storage Package.

[QUOTE=Filthy Monkey;1412495]Here you go, folks. As requested, lots of new pictures of my M3. I spent a few hours lying at the end of the runway at City Airport over the last couple of days. Oh, the sacrifices I make for you guys!!

Appreciated, so glad NOT to see the purple haze.

If I have missed it, can someone let me know?

Cheers.

No, that's not how it works, BMW arranged for ALL the roads in the UK to be changed instead. Not bad, huh?

Really great pics.

Epacy · 09-17-2007, 07:05 AM

Fantastic pics. Thanks so much!

I bet that iPod interface is pretty nice.

Filthy Monkey · 09-17-2007, 07:17 AM

You're right! It's just so nice, being able to choose from about 20 CDs, or selecting which artist or genre to listen to, depending on your mood. I'd highly recommend it!

It would be nice, but at the $400 USD price that is just robbery.

for what I know that is standard..
A different interface at 300 euro is proposed by BMW, not that.

Looking Good!

Reminds me of my first love... (E46 M3 in Carbon Black).

Hehe, i posted that before you uploaded more pics. I could see the first handful of pics but the last ones where the sun's setting- barely. None the less your ridelooks great.

I wish they'd change the look of the gear knob as stupid as that sounds.
The one in the 335 looks neat.

Looks like the cradle for a mobile phone which can also be placed between the rear seats.

Park2670 · 09-17-2007, 11:07 AM

WOW! Thanks for all your dedication to these forums. I loved your write up and the pictures are beyond belife. Very nice work.

Cupholders?

I don't know why they have the big lips on the bottom.
Looks like you wouldn't be able to put a cup that is flat on the bottom, inside it. (Designed for certain cups I guess)
But there are two spots to insert your cup, front and back.
I assume these are for large cups, with a deep lip on the underneath.

Love the shots with the airplanes! Very nice- thank you for sharing.

beautiful!

!Xoible · 09-17-2007, 05:27 PM

OMG your brand new M3 is hot, but is broken!
they gave you the steering wheel on the wrong side!!!!

Filthy Monkey · 09-17-2007, 05:57 PM

The contraption in the picture of the back seats is, indeed, a cupholder. It is designed to take a variety of cup sizes, thus the hinged opening. I'll stick a can / cup in it next time and post some more pics.
