Amen, bought a Garmin for $250, can put it in any car, works fine and....no giant "game boy" screen in the middle of the dash.

Shall we start a sub-club: "no hump, 6MT"? Appreciate the pics. There are many who have said that wood trim does not belong in an M3...not "sporty" enough. I can't really understand how someone who feels that way could think that a big nav "hump" is sporty.

Love the clean look!

I made a video of the stock radio w/o navi.

Nice look at the basic functionality, thanks! more than I would have thought.

I'll try to get some more shots tomorrow when I get my car back. It's been away for some testing fitting for over a week so I haven't had much time with it.

Congrats Nice color combo.

What kind of man doesn't know maps? EDC is also an option for people with vaginas. Coilovers are $1500 and will embarrass the crap out of EDC in any situation, on road or on the track. They also improve the looks of the ride, for people so vein. The gap between the front wheel and the arch on a stock BMW even an M looks bad, IMO.

Car wash is fine too. It's BMW paint guys - they designed it so you can bring it to the car wash. It's not Carrera GT silver or Ferrari Enzo paint.

someone is angry...

Badfish u rock man, thanks for the picks, i was kind of hesitant of how the interior would look like without the second hump, not no more though, it looks more sporty without the techno gumbo

feel free to put anymore videos of ur car on ur youtube channel , the wait for my car is f'n excruciating

again thanks for the picks

[Tallest]

non iDrive dash FTW!!

[asaulo1]

Thanks, badfish... hope to see your car on the So. Cal. roads soon.... single hump dash, nice, nice, nice.... if only I can get my dang car already...... still out at sea.....

[1MeanM]

Congrats!! My stripper sedan will finish production April 3. Its still an awesome car without all the bells and whistles. The best stereo is the sound from the V8!!! Enjoy!!

Standard. See this post in this very thread.

Steering, and the lack of Sport setting
DSC, and the lack of MDM mode
Throttle, and the lack of Sport Plus setting

If you haven't driven a ZTP E92 M3 to compare, maybe at least maybe give us a clue as to how the car feels overall. Does it feel tight? Maybe compare to an E46 (if you've driven one).

Also, how is the non-EDC suspension in the twisties? Any noticeable body roll?

badfish:

maybe next time we meet up over at Vorsteiner we can swap cars and compare firsthand...

I meant to ask you about your car before Peter came in, I didn't know you were leaving.

OC kid, I'm down in OC every weekend. Next time I bring the M3 down I'll let u know and we can do this.

I leave it off now. Yes, there is a difference. The throttle is more jumpy when it's on. I'll turn it back on soon to see if I've adapted well enough to the car to drive smooth with it on.
