Congrats on the car. I'm sure the enjoyment will only increase. The car looks nice in the pictures. I never bought the argument that a dark car is hard to keep clean so get a light one. I believe if it looks nice, go for it. With a car like the M3 it is worth cleaning often. In fact, I love having a nice looking car that I really don't mind cleaning it at all (when the weather allows). I'm pretty sure Jerez is color I want, but I'm on the fence on interior -- it's either Fox Red with carbon leather or Bamboo Beige with wood trim. Maybe you can post pics of the interior soon.
Thanks for the post. Good info here.

Lucid,
You are one of the original hard cores on this forum and I can vouch that a lot people have been waiting to see your car and hear from thee master. The car is absolutely stunning in those pictures. It is almost beyond words. You are now going to have a lot of company with people switching to JB once they see those shots. I am truly excited to to see you so excited about your ride. You have waited for and researched this monster for a long time my friend. Please Keep us updated with shots and travel logs. The BMW world waits... |

I had cinnamon in my E46 M3. In some pictures the FR looks like cinnamon. Do you agree? Cheers

Thanks Ruff for the kind words. I have been obsessing about the M3 for exactly 20 years. I got to know about it through the posters my brother pinned around his room when I was 16. Then, in college, I pinned posters of it above my own bed. It took me many years to work my ass off and afford one comfortably, but it was worth the wait. The car has clearly changed a lot over the years, but it still delivers big time--maybe in a slightly more civilized fashion than I would like, but it still delivers. Whatever you end up choosing, I hope that you experience a similar degree of satisfaction during delivery.

So I can't say what trouble you may end up in, but I've certainly been stopped for having the wrong registration sticker on the license plate. It takes really good eyes to notice that. I don't know how the police are going to treat us new M3'ers! We're not exactly wolves in sheeps' clothing! I've gone to some effort to keep my old plate. The front of the car looks so much nicer without a plate. |

At the end of the day the only thing I dream about buying is the M3. Course the house purchase is great and vacations are nice, but nothing keeps me going through the tough times like the chance at owning an M3. I know, I'm sick, and there is no cure for what I have...... Glad to see someone else has been obessing over the M's as much as I have and I'm so happy for you that your dream has come true. Mazol Tov and enjoy!!!

I'm going with the Skene Design plate mount so that there are no holes in the bumper but don't need the hassle of being pulled over. |
