My New M3 - Pictures and First Impressions

dxb335d · 09-11-2007, 08:42 AM

your car looks gorgeous mate

she will be a nightmare too keep clean, have you hammered her yet? or are you going to run her in? i personally would not bother, if she had 3 odd miles on her or so when you picked up you can garuntee they would have been hard miles anyhow

have fun with your STUNNING car matey

that's a very nice color combo!!! good taste!!!

if I didn't have CB on my E46, I will sure go for Jerez Black!!

I test drove the RS4 late last year and was thoroughly underwhelmed by it. Admittedly the car I drove had 30 odd miles on it, but it felt nothing like 400+bhp and was pretty wooden. Just didn't feel as involving as my E46 M3. Personally, I was unwilling to trade in my M3 against the RS4 on those first impressions ....

Congratulations Filthy! Awesome post. I'm really jealous. Enjoy the car. Looking forward to more write-ups very soon.

Very cool and all, but being that I don't have money coming outa my ears I think my 335i with V2 Procede and torque 400+ will have to do

Maybe I will pick up one of those M steering wheels

esquire · 09-12-2007, 10:50 PM

monkey... given that you're one of only a very elite few with a new M3, you have an implicit duty to post as many pics of your new ride as possible... so the assed-out group (or as i like to call us ... the "americans") can live vicariously through you.

so how about it huh? snap some pictures for us.

Congrats!! You're one lucky guy; gotta be one of the first M3's.
Colors look great. Probably no way to really capture the intricacies of Jerez. I saw a Carbon Black 550 last week and it's really cool how it looks bluish in bright sun.

Damn! This review is taking over my life. I'm at 3,000 words so far and still have a lot to write. Sorry for the delay, folks...

Epacy · 09-14-2007, 09:05 AM

When should we expect it?

Filthy Monkey · 09-14-2007, 09:23 AM

I'm leaving work early today to go work on it and I'm staying in London this weekend, so if not tonight, it will definitely be up there tomorrow. I need to go and throw the car around a bit to help me decide on a couple of things

Cool, can you snap some shots of the underbody and any other areas that haven't been photographed as much?
Perhaps a shot from the backseat, a shot in the trunk of the floor being lifted, the driver's side intake port, inside the center console/glove box, something to that effect.
Thanks!

Filthy Monkey · 09-14-2007, 11:09 AM

Sure, I'll see what I can do.
