How long does one wait after ordering one of these babies? (referring to the AMV8 of course) ...

Thanks! My M3 is pretty much my daily car. I'm really looking forward to the E92 as I think it will make an awesome daily. It has a lot more comfort features and useful day-to-day features and technology than something like an Aston, although I sometimes use the Aston on a daily basis and it can be a daily.
I once did a road trip with four people in my E46, and the boot jammed to the hilt with 10 days of luggage in abject comfort, and no problems overtaking either! An M3 has to be one of the absolute best all rounders From what I can tell, the wait for an Aston can vary from 6 to 8 months... |

its high gloss black on the cabrio ... love the car ... best BMW i have had thus far ... prev best was the Z3 Mcoupe (not the E46 M3, beleive it or not, but the M3 is very nice, just the Mcoupe you more engaged with the car) ... the 335i is smooth and fast where the ///M was just fast, feels quicker than the M3 to 200km/h, but that could be because of joburg altiitude .. . love the V8 sound of the 335i ...
Just signed the RTP to the dealer, white on black, logic 7 sound, 19's, front/rear PDC, and CA ... R705 000 with their R2000 license and reg ... clearly indicated i want the car in 2008 1st quarter ... (just my past experience with the ///M brand)

Congrats!
Any idea what the high-gloss anthracite wood-trim on the M3 will be like? Sounds like what you have has no grain but this might. |

Yea, I don't like the look of the aluminium either. Titanium shadow is the standard and that's what I have on my E46. Wouldn't mind a change so if the high-gloss anthracite looks good I'll take that, otherwise I'll go with the default.

How's it? Specced my E92 M3 this morning. The dealer showed me a used Z4 M Coupé with the carbon effect leather trim and I thought it looked really good, so I ordered it (in fact I felt like buying the Z4!). Now all I have to do is wait...
Picture is from bmw.de website - it looks a lot better in the flesh. Last edited by 13eastie; 05-30-2007 at 11:58 AM.. |

Not really... he wouldn't commit to anything better than Q4 2007, but I will be in the first wave (whatever that means).
So likelihood is my girlfriend will take delivery while I am back in Durban surfing, but hey... |
