In my driveway

BlackLight · 06-19-2010, 11:09 AM

Finally!

15 years ago, I saw an e36 (with the S50 B32 engine) and promised myself I will have one one day.

And I am very happy I got the smoky wheels...

Beautiful car, congratulations.

ADubM3 · 06-19-2010, 11:44 AM

doesn't get any better than that. congrats.

ArabianSensation · 06-19-2010, 11:46 AM

Congrats! You should park the Camry in the street, doesn't deserve to be in the same driveway as an M3. hahaha

henryyxyu · 06-19-2010, 11:53 AM

great combo!

congrats!

Finnegan · 06-19-2010, 12:21 PM

Nice! I'm glad to see you got the gunmetal not "silver" 18s. So, what options? 6MT or DCT?

M3Alpine · 06-19-2010, 12:57 PM

beautiful

chili cheese · 06-19-2010, 12:57 PM

Been looking around, but can't seem to find the answer to the gunmetal vs. silver stock 18s. I want the gunmetal to come with my order, but it seems so far that every pic I've seen for US spec have the silver. You're in BC, any idea why you got the gunmetal?

He got them because he ordered before May 18, 2010 or he bought it off the lot. At least that's what the story is from this thread.

Fiddlesticks! Thanks for the update. I've seen the silver finish in person and it looks cheesy compared to the gunmetal. Oh well, they will be track wheels anyway.

Looks good: glad your dream was fulfilled.

JulieDriving · 06-19-2010, 08:12 PM

Car looks perfect, congrats.

Nice house too.

not true, i ordered before may 18th and the car showed up with silver wheels. however BMWNA did swap my wheels out for the proper ones.

cap_freez · 06-19-2010, 08:38 PM

So far Canadian cars seem to be gunmetal

I hope the M3 gets put in the garage and that it was outside for pics only.

There was a post or thread about this too--too lazy to search now. And yes, BMW will get the right wheels if you ordered prior to the cutoff and ended up with the [less desirable] silver things.

BlackLight · 06-20-2010, 01:15 AM

It does sleep in the garage.

And I have M-DCT, PDC, M-Drive, Nav, Leather, EDC.

None of the cars on the dealer lot had silver 18's, but it does take longer to Canada, I ordered in late Feb.

ss134 · 06-20-2010, 02:56 AM

Congrats and enjoy!

zenderm3 · 06-20-2010, 04:40 AM

Congrats! I totally understand your dream! Well done mate1
