Order Placed - 2013 e92 M3
My SA just received allocations for 2013's so I just placed my order! I believe production will begin in July and the car should arrive in late Aug/early Sept. Hoping for August as my friends at Shift-S3ctor reserved Big Willow Sept 1st and I'm itching to get it on the track.
I've had many months to think about my build; did a lot of research, asked a lot of questions and viewed tons of picture posts by you guys...so thanks so much for sharing! Was considering going with an Individual paint/interior combination but in the end went with the following: Mineral white Fox Novillo (standard) Carbon leather interior trim Competition Premium DCT Heated seats Satellite Enhanced sound BMW apps Add ons: BMW Carbon Fiber Rear Deck Spoiler BMW Carbon Fiber Mirror cap set BMW Black Kidney Grille I will also be accumulating mods during the waiting period. The Procede/PWM meth kit in my 335 will be retained and installed soon after delivery (although going with a trunk-mount meth kit - not WW mount). My front race brake pads will also work on the M3 but will need to get M3-specific rears. I will also be looking into some 18" wheels/tires for track use only. Will be keeping the suspension stock for a while at least as the stock M3 ZCP is a massive improvement over the 335 with coils/LSD. Supercharger? I want track the car a few times and learn everything I can before making any dramatic changes....but I have a HP sickness and there is no cure

If you want to track the car, I wouldn't add the supercharger. Many of the local M3's that had superchargers and then became track addicted, ended up taking off their superchargers, for better control, and less tire replacement.
Congrats, mine is in the order bank also, with similar spec except w/o the metallic in the paint.

However I do other events that involve straight-line acceleration runs. From the events that I have attended so far, the M3's need an intercooled supercharger to be competitive IMO.

Does the ecu store data (like it does with a money shift on an 6MT) for the dealer to view? Thanks.

Production numbers on domestic delivery 2013 E92 M3s appear to be coming out now (at least, I got mine yesterday) so you should be getting yours soon.
