I've been waiting for this for a while now; the shipment of BMW's new M3 has begun! I can only hope that somebody out there has ordered one in a color other than red or white, because they seem to be mighty popular...

Those amber reflectors are hideous

Thanks for sharing!

monsta · 01-14-2008, 09:12 PM

interesting very interesting maybe this is the fleet of demo cars or maybe these are for the proformance center, but that's a hell of a lot of Melborne Red M3's, btw it doesn't look too bad from these pics...thanks for posting

Epacy · 01-14-2008, 09:13 PM

Solid!!

Nice post. Those at the PDC? Any info on where they are going? Any close-ups of the window stickers?

Hope those weren't wrecked on the way over.

People have figured out that MB hides the "hideous amber reflectors" the best!

There are quite a few coupes with moonroofs!

swamp2 · 01-15-2008, 12:56 AM

MMMMMMMmmmmmmm, M3.

Almost time to be taking any and every detour near any stealer to sit in play with touch and ogle their demo car. I have to live vicariously since I simply won't buy one of these without M-DCT and a test drive.

daaaamn no joke

Good point. I think I said that.

mkoesel · 01-15-2008, 07:07 AM

Hey, isn't this the first side by side pic of Crimson and Melbourne? The second car in line on the left is a Crimson E90 335i.

I am shocked at how close in color these are. The Melbourne had looked much brighter to me in pics. I must say that I may have been too harsh on that color.

Its still no Interlagos, but its looking as good as Crimson (which I like), if not better.

Keto · 01-15-2008, 08:42 AM

I agree, Melbourne looks pretty f***ing good in those pics.

It is such an elusive color to capture.

drvai · 01-15-2008, 08:51 AM

Where all this cars will go???

I am sure that there is not many other people that order the car without prices.... Demo cars?

Are you kidding? Probably every single person on the waitlist that got an allocation had ordered there car before the pricing announcement.

Likely that and press cars, yep.
