Looks fantastic, great color combo, love the rust brown!
Congratulations, truly a one of a kind M3 What are current E92 Comp tire sizes in the rear? 275s?

Nice car..... I was just there not too long ago.
I am digging the ZHP shifter. Does it light up like the M one?

yeah that does make sense....the interior is gorgeous on Mark's car. That lasered ///M is like the cherry on top, but i miss the Cinnamon from the E46. The Monaco Blue looks a lot like Le Mans does in bright light.

Spectacular..
Best M3 I've seen. Subtle/Stylish/Classy. Love the Rust Interior as well as the exterior. Attention to detail is great--contrasting stitching on the seats/M logo. Couldn't bring myself to ante up the cost of Individual color--what is it $5 K for exterior--and is it an additional cost--?another 5 K for the interior mods? Would have loved Avus Blue/Cinnamon, but went with rather more mundane IB/Bamboo Beige/Sycamore Anthracite combo with ZCP--love the wheels. I did Euro Delivery & dropped off car on 4/17. Boat docked in NY on 5/12 and car now is at Prep Center--hoping to get it soon--perhaps next week.

That is an awesome interior/exterior choice... even shift knob seems a bit lowered, and the car definitely lowered,- 10mm lower is visible.
Thanks for posting the story!

Hey Mark.
I really loved youre write up. Things i see for granted "normal" you told like its just cool and unique to do. Thnx for letting me see that again. That mountainroads and narrow tunnels must been a hell, with your beautifull m3. I think i would have the same heartattacks. Especially because those frensh and itallian drivers drive like maniacs hehe. A Fill up for my 328i here in holland is a nightmare. 1,50euro per liter. About 95euro for a full tank. Thnx again for the write up ! I loved it! greetzz

Guys, thanks again for the comments, I changed my specs a dozen times before making final decisions but I'm extremely happy with the end result, especially the short shift with ZHP knob - the idea came from this forum by the way and all the positive comments I read.
To replicate it, there's no problem, the shift kit and ZHP knob are in the BMW parts bin and all of the DIYS instructions are here in the forum. I figured I'd get done at the factory rather than the dealership or me and it wasn't really that much. I miss the car already, envy most all of you who have theirs in their hands!! Quote:

Well I think it's about 4K on both sides of the border, that's what it is here anyways. I had a bit more added. All I can say is that it was "dear" but what the hell. |

Well this has to be one of the best write ups for a ED that I have seen. You described everything very very well and told the story in a way that had me smiling and even laughing at times. The car looks awesome!! Thank you for sharing your experience in such a descriptive story telling manner. I hope to do the same one day. Cheers!

Amazing car and congrats. The experience documentation was great - the attention to detail by the BMW M folks is very cool - like the Rolls Royce built keychains and case.
I especially enjoyed reading your concerns about driving the car sans 3M and the reprieve one gets only after completing a thorough wax job yourself. Can't wait to see the car with the black wheels. |
