Nothing wrong with aftermarket wheels. The other people were just mentioning it looks different than OEM. The OEM 359 wheels have a different offset so the front does not stick out as much.

That's an awesome story. You probably have the only M3 in town.

Is your Dad's company the place I think it is in Drums? I grew up in Beech Mountain. My parents are still there.

Most likely could either tell from my user name or its located right near interstate 80 on 309

There is one other m3, a business owner nearby who runs a cigar company just got a 2012 or 2013 e93 m3

That's what I thought.

Now it's time to get out of town. I packed my stuff and rolled to FL after college graduation.

Dont worry I'm looking to do it also, mechanical engineers/CAD don't get paid well around here and there are few jobs around here for it.
