Hello.... M people

Blackice013 · 03-15-2014, 04:53 AM

Hello long time BMW fan but could never afford the 1... until now. About 1 1/2 years ago i decided i was in the market for a new car and wanted an M3. There was a couple of things i had to have... MT and Sunroof it began

.....
The prices and selection in Canada were not the greatest, so i decided to check the US. I was looking at cars on the east, had a couple of them lined up but sellers backed away when i told them i was from Canada. Then i found 1 in LA, about 2500 miles away. Spoke to the Dealer a couple of times had some info on the car and did some homework. 1 owner (25000 Mile) Black/black 6MT and Sunroof... had the dealership take the car to BMW and had them do a PPI on the vehicle everthing came back positive. Decided to purchase the car n flew down with my best friend to pick it up and drive it back. What a trip 1st night was in vegas.... then COL and so on took us 4 days to drive back but it was a road trip to enjoy. P.S rims are for sale but that's another tread..... enjoy

Now for the best part.... Pics

Sorry only a couple of pics got uploaded will have to resize later

Congrats. No cough here. But swap them wheels out first

Those wheels make the car looks 20 years old. Get rid of them.

Ignore that, the oem reflectors look fine. Never understood why some people paint them. It takes away from the car. The reflector add depth especially on dark paints where the lines tend to become invisible.

i looked on ebay, there are hundreds of listings all from china, taiwan, hk selling those pedals from $27 to $89. I initially thought it was a true bmw oem part, i guess not. it not a M3 logo, just the letter M which has become mainstream among bmw regular models. I think i'll pass.
