Our M3 forums might be a bit empty for a while. At least until March.

Thanks for getting them set up though!

///MArdor · 12-14-2007, 05:47 PM

I plan on being in here this spring with my new M.

Not Ur Avg 3 · 12-16-2007, 07:52 PM

gonna see how the launch goes here, and also gonna see how tuners play around with the m3. if all goes well and to plan, ill be getting it too.
i just wanna wait for a good amount of mods to come out for the m3, so i can do em all at once when i get it

I personally completely disagree with your philosophy. But to each his own.

For me, I'd want to get the car and enjoy it for a bit before completely changing it. That way the car will remain fresher for longer, and when it possibly does dull a bit that is when I would change something up. I'm not going to race it and Dallas doesn't even have a good track within reasonable distance to go to a track day, unless something new has opened since I've been gone. (Don't say Texas Motor Speedway, its just a big nascar oval)

Also, unless your absolutely loaded I wouldn't get a M3 just to rice it out. Thats what the 335i is for.

I'll respect your taste though since it is your money. I'd just hate to see ya get a M3 and then thrash it and get bored too quick. I use to play hockey with a guy similar to that and he knocked the M3 because he couldn't drag it. So naturally I lawl'd in his face.

Yonkers · 12-21-2007, 03:46 PM

Eagerly anticipating myself. Haven't put money down for my spot yet but I will soon. BMW Houston North dealership said I'd be #10 on the list. I figure 4-5 people would probably drop off when pricing comes out but it'll still be April or so until I get one, I assume.

Davo2003 · 12-22-2007, 06:17 AM

Looks like I will order a basic M3, only 19's and a sunroof. I will upgrade the audio if it is available as a stand alone but appears not. I was so damn happy with the sport suspension on my 06 330i, no buttons to push, just get in and go, how could the M3 be worse? My 330i handled like a slot car and wasn't harsh on bumps at all.

IB/Speedcloth
19's
SR

That's it.

I may change my mind at the last minute and go with SSII, I will look at it IRL in Feb and check again.
Decisions decisions.

By the way, if anyone needs a good sales rep at a BMW in Houston, let me know.

///MArdor · 12-22-2007, 02:07 PM

I think you are right, this car is already awesome. I also prefer the look of the speedcloth over full leather (and you won't slode around as much).

Big Windy · 12-25-2007, 10:06 AM

we haven't really seen too many speedcloth pics, i'm waiting to decide until they are available...i doubt you'll be able to see it on a show car either. nobody on this forum that has taken delivery has ordered it either...we need pics!

domer86 · 01-02-2008, 05:35 PM

Just wanted to say, "Hello" from Houston...Hope the holidays are going well for everyone in TEXAS

Blip Bavarian · 01-03-2008, 03:01 PM

Im #1 at BMW El Paso. Can't wait.
Space Gray w/ Silver (non-extended), Carbon look trim, 19's, EDC, Technology, upgraded sound.

Production start date: 1/4/08

p.s. Stay away from the sunroof.

///MArdor · 01-03-2008, 08:44 PM

Awesome! Have you seen any M3's around town over from Mexico for shopping or what so ever yet? I was in Laredo a few weeks ago and I was hoping to see one (Pancho maybe?...hahaha)

Why stay away from the sunroof and how did you get a production start date while they were shut down for Christmas? They didn't open until 1/7...

That was the date i was given to me on 12/5 just after I had picked my options.

As per my dealer: my car didn't actually go into production until about 1/15.

I don't know why there was a lag.

the sunroof thing is just my opinion. I don't really use the sunroof in my 335, and I like the look of the CF roof. although i think that BMW has exagerated the benifits of the CF roof, to me it is worth shaving the lbs.

That would be awesome, but I dont think I will be seeing any Juarez M3's. The only "upscale" vehicles we see from Mexico around here are bulletproof/lifted danali's; which aren't really my cup of tea.

mduval1988 · 02-18-2008, 09:43 PM

Thought I would say hello from Houston.

I PLAN TO DO SOME MODS TO MY M3, STARTING WITH A HAMANN FRONT SPOILER, ROOF SPOILER, AND REAR SPOILER. I PLAN TO PUT THE MAX RIM SIZE. 20 INCH RIMS AND THE MAX TIRE SIZE ON THE CAR MAINLY IN THE REAR. 20 X 9 INCH RIMS 245/30 ZR20 FRONT AND 20 X 10.5 REAR WITH 305/25 ZR20 TIRES AND A LAMBO DOOR KIT. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY EXTRA WEIGHT BECAUSE I DON'T PLAN ON TAKING IT ON ANY RACE TRACK. I DON'T CARE IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO HATE AND CALL MY M3 A RICER, I JUST WANT MY M3 TO HAVE AND BE LIKE THE HAMANN M3.

I'M HAPPY FOR ALL YOU GUYS THAT ORDERED A M3 NO MATTER HOW YOU PLAN OR WANT TO DO TO YOUR CARS.

MY M3 WON'T BE BUILT UNTIL APRIL SO IN THE MEAN TIME I WILL JUST SIT BACK AND HURRY UP AND WAIT.

MrHarris · 02-28-2008, 03:55 AM

I think that looks rather nice, but i wouldn't include the front lip or rear spoiler.

Julihugs_e92 · 02-29-2008, 05:55 PM

Hello all! My friend told me about these forums and it has great info! I am located in Dallas and I thought i would introduce myself. I ordered an Alpine White M3 6sp scheduled to be in production in April (15th week). Looking forward to the following weeks where people should be getting their cars soon.
