Downtown (Perillo). It's the second M3 I've bought from them - you don't necessarily get super personalized service since it's such a high volume dealer, but I've always found that everyone there is super professional and very, very efficient.

Came with the mats - didn't even have to ask!

Thanks for the kind words everyone... I'll have better pics up this weekend. Supposed to be clear and high 60s here - spring is finally here, it seems.

Beautiful.

I have been leaning towards this colour combo for w while - more reinforced now by a colleague at work who's taking delivery of Space / Black, but the my main internal debate is Space -vs SSI. Even though Space is not a unique M colour, I think it looks subtle and refined.

And the FR gives it that extra pizzazz a M3 should have.

Ahh, that's a loaded question.

It IS a big difference, but calling the M3 "better" isn't necessarily fair... it's just a more raw, purpose-suited interpretation of the E92 theme. The 335 is definitely the more refined car, and there's plenty of power on tap when you need it -- in fact, I'd had an E46 M3 before that, and they felt just about equivalent in terms of power and acceleration.

I'm not going to lie, the M3's raw power and exhaust note put a smile on my face that the 335 never could, but is it worth $16k? Dunno, that's really a question only you can answer.
