Have had worse Saturdays...
...just picked up my E92 M3.
Previously had an E46 M3...but WOW. This is going to be the hardest 1200 miles in my life... Not into modding - but have my eyes on that BMW Performance Wheel... |

I believe he meant the performance wheel... and yes, they are available. Been thinking about it too, but I haven't due to the fact you lose the M thread colors. I keep trying to tell myself it's a small detail, but that is what I like the most: small details.
Very nice ride too, btw. Nice Saturday!

Seen it in person at the Welt..wasn't that impressed. I'd stick with the M wheel. The performance wheel and other BMW Performance products seemt to be be more for the non-M cars.

I'm not much into mod'ing either and prefer stock or OEM parts (as they come avail). Currently, not much from BMW yet, except the wheel. ...I did have to do the V1, though.

Ceramic tint might help w/ radio reception. I did metallic tint on my last E46 M and my FM/AM reception got noticeably worse. Ceramic is supposed to be better about that.

Thanks - I am after all the feedback I can get on the wheel. The fact that it is a BMW M part is a big plus - but will definitely need to see it in person first. The alcantara finish isn't exactly to my taste...

I will have a little search for the clear indicators in the photo galleries. I agree that they would clean the look up a little. Let me know if you see any available!

That said, I am new to the US and don't really know how brutal the law enforcement is here yet. It *can't* be worse than the UK though. |

Radar detectors are legal in all but one state and DC - AFAIK. So you're fine in Texas. The hardwire option helps the dash/wires issue and it really is a clean DIY. Mine is tucked up right next to the RVM.

Get some HREs!!! haha j/k Congrats on the new vehicle... I love the Color and to me it is the most sophisticated one out of all the choices. It just gives you that luxury and serious tone... Those first 1500 miles are well worth it though!
For me i still have my E46 M3 and am just waiting for the warranty to deplete. In the meantime I am keeping my eye out at the Dealerships too haha.

Good luck shopping around for an E90 - there are definitely deals to be had at times like these. |

Check it out here: http://accessories.bmwusa.com There are loads of videos on YouTube etc of it in action. I can't make up my mind whether it is the coolest thing I have ever seen....or just a bit too flashy. |

Great looking car. Glad to see another M3 in Houston. Check out our tint thread in the Southwest regional forum for some discussion of tint options in Houston.
