JB a nice colour

but mine's tricky to spot in this size of photo - it's Jerez Blk, so can look black, or dark blue-black depending on light

This may show JzB better (albeit image is a wee bit overexposed, you really need to see this colour IRL to 'get it'):

Yes mate: call me The Master Procrastinator, but I prefer not wanting to have a smidgen of buyer's regret.

Of course, that's a Sisyphean prospect: but all good so far with the M-car.

samuraisaiyo · 06-28-2009, 09:45 PM

oh good

datbimmerdoe · 06-28-2009, 09:52 PM

Congrats!!! Awesome color combo.

SHADY1 · 06-28-2009, 11:14 PM

@SHADY - I hear ya mate. Next time we run in TX, but the A-bahn will always be missed.

@the infamous... IMO this color combo

JohnnyRoaster · 06-28-2009, 11:27 PM

She looks awesome! How did you keep the car so clean during the trip?

Now the wait begins. I hope you had a great trip and the inforad was of some use. I will be looking forward to more pictures and beers in Boston on you.

Congrats.

JohnnyRoaster · 06-28-2009, 11:30 PM

P.S. Did you end up with an ashtray or a sunglass tray?

Blake · 06-28-2009, 11:35 PM

so brad.....how's that break-in procedure going?

make it to nordschleife?

swamp2 · 06-29-2009, 12:03 AM

Wow, great shots and a great begining to your trip. What a way to go for an M - go all the way. Congrats to another board "old timer" who finally bit the bullet. I'm sure you are supremely satisfied with her after all of your careful deliberation. Drive safe, have fun, get her broken in quick, 8400 is waiting for you!

1230vani · 06-29-2009, 02:59 AM

Congratulations, awesome photos! Hope to get mine soon as well. Thinking about an M3 or an X6 (3.5 diesel), though economically and spacewise an x6 would make more sense, I can't get that M3 (I was sitting in the BMW welt few months ago) out of my mind. Love your extended leather, its a must have!

congrats

MTROIS · 06-29-2009, 07:01 AM

Voltigeur,

I envy you! this is one of the few regrets I have: not having done ED!!
I wanted to do this first, but when they told me that I had to wait an extra month vs. Performance Center Delivery... I decided that I wanted it earlier to enjoy my Summer 08. In the end it was a great experience too as I discovered the Atlantic Coast and so many American historic places on my way back to NJ! Also, I know that I will bring back my car to the Ol' continent some day, but I just imagine what you experienced!!

Anyhow great pics and writeup. I really look forward to reading about your visit of Mulhouse, my home town (and all its Bugattis!!), and the Provence area...

Take care.

ebeem · 06-29-2009, 07:48 AM

this is the gas station I always fill up my car!!!
always at "Nr.7"(in front of the silver BMW),which is the only place to get "Super Plus" gasoline

thanks for posting!

looks like a sweet trip with your beautiful M3!

lucid · 06-29-2009, 08:19 AM

Everything sounds and looks great! The only thing that was not executed properly was the drive down the ramp; you should have been drifting down as in "Munich Drift"!

Munich is such a great place. Anyway, enjoy the beast!

immiketoo · 06-29-2009, 09:50 AM

I have been watching the weather like a fiend for the last week. I hope it stops raining once I get there...I have tickets to the German F1 at the Nurburgring, and I want bright sunny days for my photo op! Tell me more about the white asparagus....

DELLY · 06-29-2009, 10:48 AM

ahh, one day i will have one to call my own...

extended fox red and JzB is gorgeous!

Mate, well, it's a funny story, but the villa in Provence was down a dirt road w/ some major ruts - it felt like I was doing the Greek round of WRC

- so I was just lucky that it didn't rain down there so the car only had some dirty tires and undersides. Pics in a 2nd instalment.

Thx again for the inforad and yes, biers in 2010
