Beautiful color combo. Job well done.

LOVEM · 03-30-2013, 02:14 PM

Congratulations on a exclusive e92.

W/// · 03-30-2013, 03:26 PM

Fantastic writeup!! Love the color so much, not as loud as LSB, just perfect. Really would love to go back to Munich!

Matterhorn · 03-30-2013, 04:26 PM

I've never seen the wheels on the alpine white E92 M3 before. What style wheels are these?

05Mdriver · 03-30-2013, 04:50 PM

Thank you so much. I'll be at as many meets as I can make it to this year. I'm especially looking forward to the E30 SIG Fest coming up in June!

....too bad its not a sedan though

I've wanted Santorini since the first time I saw a pic of it, just didn't think I'd get it so soon! As for E90s, I don't think you can even order them anymore. Just the E92/3 I believe.

I was hesitant to do the same interior as my Alpine White car, but I think it turned out ok. Thanks!

Thank you Sam! Hopefully I don't chicken out with regards to the blower. I have a ton of stuff waiting to go on it, and I'm trying to decide on a wheel and tire package too...

It's kinda like LSB, but without the green tint. Very similar in the way it shifts in varying light. I can't wait to go back either, I love that city.

I was trying to figure that out myself, and then actually saw them today on a new 7 series while walking to Penn Station after leaving the NY Auto Show.

He may have had snowtires on there, I couldn't tell from my vantage point.

I need to talk to you guys about getting some paint matched reflectors, I know Chili Cheese and

Curt2000 are going to need them too.

Thank you so much for the kind words everyone!

I just posted a thread documenting my museum visit, I didn't want to post too many pics in this one.

Great pics thank u

V8FunNaturally · 03-30-2013, 10:12 PM

Awesome car, well done and congratulation ! Santorini is my favourite full bodied blue and Silverstone my favourite understated blue.

That iced black striped E92 M3 looks formidable. It got me thinking for a minute how could one own that very car with the painted stripes. But then I wonder how much one would have to worry about parking it in public places.

adc · 03-31-2013, 10:43 AM

Congrats, man!

Brings back sweet memories... I'll probably go back for another ED th summer, but not on an M car unfortunately...

Peahi · 03-31-2013, 01:21 PM

Sweetness! Huge, huge congratulations. That color takes the car to another level.

Santorini Time!

Matterhorn · 03-31-2013, 01:33 PM

Your car looks stunning. Enjoy it for many many years.

izzyM2 · 03-31-2013, 01:37 PM

Nice pictures. Hopefully myself and my wife can also experience this in the future.

PrometheusM3 · 03-31-2013, 01:59 PM

Congrats! Is your car now en route to the states or are you still waiting at the port?

aussiem3 · 03-31-2013, 06:35 PM

Congratulations on the start of an epic and memorable driving journey with your new-found soul mate - Santorini Blue ///3.

When I decided on getting another E92 M3 to replace my E92 M3, Silverstone II was on my short list. Such a beautiful color that shifts throughout the day and really accentuates the lines of the E9X!

That Frozen Black car was a BMW Safety Car, I don't think it will be on the roads much.

I'm jealous! So far I've gone in December (Freezing) and March (Slightly less freezing). Summer for sure next time. Good luck!

I have no plans at all to replace this car, only additions to the garage!

You really have to. I think even non-car people would enjoy the experience, worst case you get to experience the beautiful architecture and landscapes of Europe.

I've been trying to track it, but I don't think it's hit the ship yet to head over.

I never get tired of re-living my Euro Delivery experience looking at other enthusiasts' photos. I hope to do it again someday.

This may sound silly, but thanks to BMW AG and NA for such a cool and user-friendly program. If you are going to buy new anyway, you have to be insane NOT to take advantage of this program. THEY pay you to do it...

kevinlevrone · 04-02-2013, 08:09 AM

Wow...do people still buy the M3 now when the new one is around the corner ?

... Because the E92 is still about as good as great can get, and many are skeptical that the coming M3 turbo era is necessarily a good thing.

ApexM3 · 04-02-2013, 08:34 AM

Beautiful.
