First M3

Semi-Poor · 11-24-2013, 11:04 AM

As the M3 coupe was taking its final bows the urge to own one was overwhelming, I purchased a 2013 M3 coupe in Melbourne Red. Only cosmetic mods so far. Just mounted cold weather Blizzak LM60's in 255 and 275/35R19 front and rear on ZCP wheels. Will order aftermarket wheels over winter in 19x9 and 19x10.5 with appropriately sized summer tires. After 3-months of ownership this car is by far my favorite amongst the vehicles (Audi, Porsche, BMW, etc.) I have owned. Great forum, with tons of useful information.

Specs:

Melbourne Red Metallic
BMW Performance Exhaust
BMW Aluminum Pedals
Black Novillo Leather
Carbon Leather interior trim
Cold Weather Package
Competition Package
Premium Package
M Double-clutch Transmission
BMW Apps
Satellite radio
Automatic high beams
Enhanced Premium Sound
M3 Edition Side Markers and Grills
iND OEM Badge Gloss Black
iND Painted License Plate Frame

Great looking car. Mine is a 2012 in the same colour. BTW don't polish your car so much. You've too many reflections in your photos or get a polarizer for the camera. Just kidding!

Thanks to all for the kind words and warm welcome. Guilty as charged regarding "polishing" car gets plenty of detailing love, great way to familiarize yourself with a vehicle.
