The one thing that they would not change on this car is the interior color unless I fully commited to it, but I couldnt at the time.

who knows I may just go with it, will see if it talks to me or not. lmao

It amazes me that they (or any dealer for that matter) won't take a chance on ordering an inventory car with Fox Red. I mean, let's just make 'em all black I guess. Sheesh. With a good exterior color, someone will always buy it!

On another note, have you considered Beige extended with AW? That interior color looks better IMO, and I'm not normally even a beige interior fan. Love the tone of that Bamboo though. Someone on here has an E90 in that combo...I remember seeing it.

We'll get out to the track some time this summer hopefully. It's too bad that every event I've seen has been planned for the middle two weekends every month as those are the two I'm gone

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to resist, therefore you're going to pull the trigger on the one you're going to see, eh?

Beige with AW looks good. I still think FR is too much to look at, imo.

I think you and I are on the same track. I'm after the GT3 too, but I think I'll be after something else when I'm ready to make my move 5 yrs from now.

Btw, I picked up my 'motorcycle' helmet for $87 from a Yamaha shop, which is local to me. It has the proper ratings for the track too. This will do for the time being. Like Blake mentioned before, once I get more serious and invlolved, I'll buy a better one.

I've currently decided to sign up for the one day DE event @ Eagles Canyon on May 8th.

I'm still a beginner, so wish me luck!

Based on his earlier comments, it sounds like he still has a soft spot for AW. We'll see. I'm betting odds are about 60/40 in favor of the Jerez car right now.

Agreed. And agreed, especially with extended. If FR is your choice, it looks much better non-extended IMO.

Hey man!

I remember that you were curious to know more about the DCT, since you were considering it for your next M3. If you want, you may PM the member named, calintexas (Cal). He'll most probably be at C&C on the 1st, so if you wanna meet up with him there, I'm sure he can show you what the DCT's all about.

Yeah, I am wondering what the "story" is on the SG sedan with Fox red I bought yesterday. It was sitting on the lot when I wandered by the dealership earlier last week.

It had 47 miles on it when I test drove it. Built in Nov 09. I'm taking it in to get tint this Friday...I think I will ask my salesman to get the history.

Eh, there may not be much of a story. In fact, your car may be a good example of why most dealers won't order anything but basic colors...yours had red interior and it took a couple or three months for it to sell. If you have the window sticker, you can tell if Advantage was the original dealer or if it was originally somewhere else (and therefore part of a dealer trade).

My comment above was related specifically to buschy's dealer, Autobahn in Ft. Worth, which is also where I got my M3 (it is a great dealer, by the way). Most of their inventory is the basic colors and black interiors. I've actually seen some of the Houston dealers step out and order blue exteriors, red interiors, etc., so I wouldn't be surprised if Advantage did that with yours.
