M3 In Person with pics.

Buschy · 03-08-2008, 07:41 AM

Here are some pics of the M3 at two dealers in my area. I know everyone likes to see pics.
I wont bor with a long wirte up. I will say that this car is nothing nothing nothing like the 335.
I had a 335 and even though I took it easy in the demo M3 it is hands down a leagues ahead of the 335.
You cannot make a 335 equal to what you get in this car for anywhere near the price.
All I can say is WOW.
I am sold, no more thoughts of the M5 running through my head either.

That Mel Red is really starting to grow on me...Throw a CF roof on it and it's gonna look mean. Nice pics.

Same here. I would love to see one with black leather and CF roof.

Buschy · 03-08-2008, 07:55 AM

both red demos were the same, and no CF roof.
I hate red cars, but that red is tits. the metal flakes in it are big and it jsut looks stunning.

The metallic paint will force my hand to get AW. I hate metallic paint.

Buschy · 03-08-2008, 08:08 AM

oh yeah the pics of the fox red interior are horrble sorry.
and the name should have been something else.
this interior to me is more along the lines of the terra, saddle, tabacco colors trend, more brownish.

abbood · 03-08-2008, 09:02 AM

Very nice,,, I never thought red will look so good...

Nice work with the pics

Deathboy · 03-08-2008, 09:09 AM

That red is awesome!

UltimateBMW · 03-08-2008, 09:19 AM

Buschy I went out to Classic BMW last night to see the same cars!

Definately impressive. We're you able to drive one of them? When I arrived late last night the Silverstone sedan had already been spoken for and bought by someone.

I have pics as well but they were taken on my crappy camera phone and at night with no flash, so I'll let your's do the talking for both of us. It was awesome to finally see them in person.

UltimateBMW · 03-08-2008, 09:22 AM

Just a follow-up, this morning I was determined to try to see an AW coupe with the cf roof, and hopefully find a JB coupe as well. I called around to Autobahn, BMW of Dallas, and I had called Moritz last night. Seems like every dealer here got the same color for demo cars, MR coupe and a SSII sedan. So if you come across either toss me a PM here on the forums, please.

Also, I was a bit bummed that the MR coupe at Classic had a sunroof.

Mack211 · 03-08-2008, 09:49 AM

Nice pics, Do you have an order in at Classic as well?

I got there yesterday and they had just taken it out of the prep area so no one could drive it (8 miles on it) . I am heading back this morning to see if that changed

monsta · 03-08-2008, 10:13 AM

gorgeous, I guess we are going to see a lot of MR M3's out there

Keto · 03-08-2008, 11:50 AM

All the demo MR coupes seem to have a sunroof. My dealer in New Orleans got the same two cars.

I took the MR coupe for a spin a little while ago. Go up there and see what you think. I liked it a lot - impressive car.

nusevad · 03-08-2008, 07:01 PM

Great pics~

MR looks pretty sweet.

iatacs19 · 03-08-2008, 08:55 PM

Noticed that the rear seats retain the original euro design vs. fronts having the 335i sport seats...

red is hot shit!

rzm3 · 03-08-2008, 09:03 PM

Yeah, it should be called dark cherry chocalate or something crazy like that. More of a burgundy color than a true red.

even fox brown would have been better.

Even RedFox would have been better.
considering a red fox is not really red.
