Taking delivery this weekend...

Beemo · 03-20-2014, 11:43 PM

Taking delivery of a 2013 E93 ZCP 6MT M3 (Interlagos Blue) with about 7k miles on it on Saturday and been staying awake looking at youtube videos the past few nights when I should be sleeping! It's being shipped from PA to Houston TX.

Last weekend I sold my 2012 Shelby GT500 that I had for 2 years and I'm not missing it (yet). Looking forward to the new m3 after having a 2008 335i that was freakin awesome before I got the Ford. The Shelby was fun to mod and extremely fast but not the same, obviously.

Here are a couple pics of the old Shelby and the only one I have of the new M3:

Is it just me or does that look like an E92??

Congrats though. Love that color. Seems you have a thing for blue. Lol.

^ +2 ... That's an E92 in the pic ... Either way, congrats and enjoy!!

Congrats are in order! Are you not going to miss the insane power of the GT500? I've not had that much power under my foot, but I could imagine it's one hell of a rush.

Kwando · 03-21-2014, 08:33 AM

Congrats! Looking forward to your thoughts on how the two compare.

Oops, typo...yes it's an E92.

Thanks! I'm fired up about getting it on Saturday.

I'll make a few comments about how it compares to the GT500 after a couple weeks. Mine had a pulley/CAI/tune that took it to 573 RWHP. Pulled like a freight train. But I wasn't using the horsepower...just stacking on the miles, so I might as well have been in a V6 mustang (except for the exhaust note and all the thumbs up I got

).

One thing though is that the dealer told me that as he was loading it, he noticed a couple of scratches on the rear bumper that look like they dented the plastic.

Looks to be from license plate screws from another car. Obviously I got this news AFTER the car was paid for. Any idea how much it would be to fix (they're small)? I think he would be willing to refund some of my money for it.

Suggest you take it to a BMW dealer and ask them to write a quote. Send the quote to the seller, ask for a refund in that amount. Have it fixed by that dealer, or take the cash and DIY and maybe make a few $.

Either way, it looks great!
