Back in the game, just picked this up!
Well, after falling in love with a Henna E30 when I was about 10, all I have wanted was an M3, period. My second car was a brand new 318ti, which I loved at such a young age, but it clearly wasn't an M3. Well, yesterday, I pulled the trigger, with the blessing of my amazing wife. Great way to celebrate a 30th birthday.
Here is a snap of her pre-delivery. Had 9 miles on it when I went to test drive it yesterday. Space Grey/Black Novillo/6MT/Competition - every box checked except extended leather and sunshade. It was between this and an S5 and this was just WAY more fun to drive. I can't wait to start a little personalization. I told the dealer to just wash it quick, don't try detailing it. She'll get a full detail this week. Just excited to be back in the game right now! |

Laurel was pushing their "paint & leather protection" package pretty hard... I am taking it to Simon's in Lincoln Park. They detailed my winter car, a Black 99 Tahoe Sport, and it literally looked new when I picked it up.

Note - M3's come with about a 4 micron layering of clear coat.. Each 3 stage polish will remove about 1.25/1.50 microns, so if you want to lose that after owning it for just a week, then go for it but many would advise against it. |

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Parked her in a nice spot today with a yellow lined area right next to it. Parking downtown Chicago drives me crazy! |
