E93 M3 DCT Photoshoot

radm3 · 07-13-2008, 08:16 AM

Haven't done as much driving as I would like b/c taking it in for Polysteel or whatever they call that clear coat thing tomorrow. Here are some pics next to my Black Sapphire metallic 545 and wife's new monaco blue X5. Enjoy, I loved looking at people's new cars for the last few months and figure it's time to give a little back.

wow m3, 5er, X5....i am jealous! looks like you have a bimmer for every occasion!

Great pics, Radm3, thanks for sharing! Once again, a fantastic color combination. I especially appreciate the shots of the trunk, rear seat, and the pass-through.

I have a question -- in my E46 convertible, the rear seatbelts are in the center, and latch in the outboard seating position. When not in use, the seatbelts are clipped in place by two plastic clips. This prevents the belts from thrashing around and making noise when at speed with the top down.

I've known from the beginning that the E93 belt position was going to be opposite the position of the E46 (belts mounted outboard and latch in center) but based on your pics, it doesn't look like there are clips to keep the seatbelts from flying around in the turbulence created when at speed with the top down. Has this been an issue for you so far? If it has, that's one thing that's going to drive me nuts when my E93 M3 arrives!

Great looking car and house!

radm3 · 07-13-2008, 01:51 PM

Haven't hit the interstate with it yet just twisties at 60+ mph with the top down and no problem so far. Didn't even realize there were no clips. The Bry has quite the attention to detail!!

you got some nice ride man

Someone is rich, or a taxcheater

No kidding, nice house, nice cars.
Enjoy life and your bimmers

Glad people liked the pics. Unfortunately not keeping the 545 or Truck in the background, lease returns in a couple weeks. Wanted to show people that in the light the 5er Black Saphire, and the Monaco Blue on the X don't look a lot different from afar. You really have to get up close to the paint to tell the difference. Jerez is a great color but I can tell already is going to be a pain in the a** to take care of. It is hard to respect break in procedure but so far I am managing.

Beautiful everything!
The American Dream continues... congrats buddy!

Looks great! How do you like the 545i? I had one prior to the 335i. I loved it.

Your right, the E46 M3 NEEDED that though. For some reason, I suppose it would be the aerodynamics or the actual position of the seatbelts. The E93 M3 does not thrash around when at speed with the top down.

No issues like that whatsoever!
