Is your signature pic meant to be fuzzy? Man, I looked at your car pic again. Jet Black on Fox Red... I almost went that way too, lol. Just awesome

Thanks for the compliment, and I like your car color combo a lot. I honestly wanted to get some crazy individual colors like Azurite or something special, and a platinum interior with piano black trim. But cooler heads prevailed and I knew I couldn't wait that long Plus, who the hell can keep white leather clean haha. |

Happy to join the Class of 2013! Traded my 2010 335i M-Sport Coupe on Saturday for a 2013 M3. Pretty much loaded with DCT. Space Gray on Black. Here's a crappy iphone pic before any mods.
Have since thrown on the OEM Black Grills and Gills, IND colored reflectors and spacers. I just used the ones from my old car, 12 front and 10 rear. Front could probably go to 15, but 10 looks pretty good in the rear. Plan on tinting 35% all around and probably getting a clear bra. Also hunting for an exhaust to throw on after the 1200 mile maintenance. Only about 900 miles to go. |

So far I'm diggen the DCT too, was a tough decision not to get a manual but I think I'm gonna love the DCT. I've used S a little, but trying to keep it in auto mode as much as i can during break-in. |

Picked up my 2013 2 weeks ago. Already have 1500 miles! After the 1200 mile service, the car feels different. Engine noise is louder, car feels faster. Perhaps all of this is in my head, but I am totally in love with the M3. My previous BMW was a 135i, which felt like driving a truck in comparison. I am impressed with how the M3 can be a great long distance GT or a twitchy track monster with the press of a button. I considered a 911, but the M3 is more practical: more passengers, bigger trunk.
By far the best car, and best bang for the buck. Lousy NW weather, will post better pix if the sun ever comes out. AW / Black Leather DCT Premium Pkg Cold Pkg Comp Pkg Premium Sound BMW Apps |

He said his experience is that the OEM 245/265 tires are just too small for the ZCP wheels. The stock (summer) tires are already very stretched, and he explained that the issue is exacerbated with winters, which generally need to be slightly larger for a given size of wheel. I also saw a thread on bimmerpost where that actually happened to someone. The guy brought his tires to the dealership and they tried and tried but could not fit his winter 246/265 tires on his (stock) ZCP wheels. The tire shop even had trouble installing my 255/ 275 tires, so I'm glad I didn't go any smaller! Here's a screen shot of what I purchased.

Ugh, the wait is killing me, my car has been on en route status for like 2 weeks now. Is this normal?
Does it really take that long @ the VPC? Not that I'm rushing to take delivery during the winter on summer tires, but, OMG the wait. |

Hey Julie - when you got your car did you treat the leather with anything special to protect and preserve it? I was thinking Zaino products, but maybe it's too early to do that, what do you think?
Also, completed break-in service recently! Went really well, and got the car back in 2 hours. Got to admit, I was revving happily to 8000 rems once I broke the 1000 mile mark. |
