A DREAM COME TRUE - 2009 White / Fox Red E93 - Pictures

I am having this car now about two week and I cannot describe what a great car this piece of German engineering is.
The 2009 IDrive is so easy to navigate around (love the DVD Playback option when parked - Now I need to find out how we can override this security feature) as well as the DCT is just unbelievable. It is hard for me to stay below the 4000 RPM for some time since the engine just wants to keep on going. The sound of the engine is just awesome and again I have not noticed so far any of the problems that I have been reading throughout this forum. The DCT is downshifting nicely without any interruption, clunking sound, etc. We are definitely in love with the car. It is the best thing I have ever driven.

I wanted to thank all of you guys on this forum for all your help to make the right decisions. I am very, very pleased with the color combination and I am amazed how many thumbs up I have gotten just within one week out on the road driving this car.
I hope you will enjoy the pictures. Some of the pictures look a little bit too orange since I used the flash.

You guys are safe out there and I hope to see you around one of the bimmer meetings.
Always safe driving,

Cheers.

P.S This one is fully loaded. I won't be doing any mods since I believe it is just dead gorgeous. (even with the orange reflectors on the side)

Wish they'd offfer the new idrive as a 1 time upgrade option for the '08 models tho...feel kinda cheated in a way...car was introduced in Jan 08 for Mar 08 release and then they put a new idrive into it what 6 months later...BMW had to know that was the plan all along! Would have at least appreciated the option/choice of the old or new idrive rather than having it made for me!

Hi CUD,

Hey, is that a chrome strip running around the top edge of the M3 or is it just a different colour white where the roof sits when up?

It's chrome trim. Unfortunately, we are not given the option of shadowline trim in the US on the E93 M3. Only the E90/E92 M3 get it. Its ironic because as of MY2009 all 3 series in the US finally get the shadowline option (with sport package), including E93s. Only the E93 M3 is left out now.

Yeh, I thought it strange because my M3 vert has shadowline, but we in Australia get the Euro version.

Crome Trim

I was very sceptical at the beginning with the crome trim, however, with white as the outside color it matches very, very well. I can see how it does not quite go well with blue, black or any dark color but with white I think it blends very well.

I also will try to post some more pictures from the Idrive, soon.

Thanks to all you guys for the great wishes.
