Davo's Jerez/Bamboo/MDCT

Jack28 · 05-05-2008, 04:17 PM

Congrats man!

pilot_bro2003 · 05-05-2008, 04:26 PM

....just sick! Congrats. I'm glad I changed my color combination now. I had a JB convertible on order with JB with extended silver and wood trim. I'm glad I changed to bamboo and wood especially after seeing your pics!

REP1KRR · 05-05-2008, 04:47 PM

Congrats!

Beautiful neighborhood...

reinaldo335 · 05-05-2008, 06:55 PM

please make a good driving video, to see how does the mdct works.

par4bmw · 05-05-2008, 07:02 PM

Very nice looking. Can not get much more classy looking than black/tan. The warmth of the wood even futhers the look as classic. Enjoy.

BCMPOWER · 05-05-2008, 07:08 PM

That is a nice combination, your pictures of the Sycamore wood are spot on. Very nice and hope you enjoy your new car!

ALPINE6SPD · 05-05-2008, 07:10 PM

NICE

HotLap · 05-05-2008, 07:29 PM

Very nice looking M3...I'm about to pull the trigger on the M3 vert in the same color combo and your interior pics just made me glad I ordered that particular combo! Gonna look great

How stiff do those 19's ride?

SHADY1 · 05-05-2008, 11:07 PM

your car looks hot

nice combo

Davo2003 · 05-06-2008, 12:07 AM

Hey, appreciate the compliments. I am really happy with the color combo. The car gets double takes all day and night. The engine sounds glorious, not disappointed at all. I am on a road trip and have to say the car is great on the highway and is averaging 20+ mpg, that's cruising at 75mph no A/C running. The ride is nice in normal mode, not too bumpy not too soft. The DCT modes really work well although it is starting to seem pretty silly to have so many transmission settings (eleven I think)...I need more time to really analyze that. So far 500 miles and the car is a dream. Really tight, no fit or finish problems, no problems with steering feel etc...no disappointments other than the speaker going south. The passing power on the highway is incredible. It is really hard to not drive like you are at the Indy 500...but I have realized that there is just as much joy in taking a deep breath, remaining calm, and taking the right lane so all can pass the king and observe lol. As always in a new BMW, everyone wants to race...but for now, that will have to wait. Trying to break her in nice.

One note about the photos I posted. In all the photos I think the color of the wood trim is accurate, but the BB leather color is most accurately portrayed in the shots from outside the car at a distance. The closeup shots of the interior really represent the BB leather a bit over exposed and too light. It is really a nice dark beige though not the cinnamon I wanted...it's still very nice. The feel of the leather is also excellent. I will post more pics, maybe a decent vid and more comments in the coming days as I am still out of town.

Having the time of my life

Houman21 · 05-06-2008, 12:34 AM

Beautiful Car!! Congrats! This just reaffirms my choice in color combination. I just want to thank all the posters for putting up pix, this forum is 1000x more useful than any visualizer.

I keeping on going back and forth with the sunroof though, and these pix don't make the decision any easier...

trah23 · 05-06-2008, 01:22 AM

appreciate the offer Davo, but i just wouldnt feel right drivin ur new baby, especially since you havent broken her in, thanks though bro

eddiekayak335 · 05-06-2008, 07:12 AM

Have you ever tried the SMG II. M-DCT is the same or not? Do you have launch Control?

dawgdog · 05-06-2008, 07:55 AM

"...but I have realized that there is just as much joy in taking a deep breath, remaining calm, and taking the right lane so all can pass the king and observe lol"

Great quote, and exactly what I intend to do during breakin and for the most part thereafter.

Boost Gomez · 05-07-2008, 09:55 PM

Very elegant combo

Greenspotpop · 05-07-2008, 10:00 PM

Sexy! On a side note, since I have been practicing shifting in the //M3, I finally tried launching with the Sport Plus and EDC mode #2. Still waiting for break in at 2000km, but shifting at 5k rpm, me and my buddy had our heads blasted back. DAMN!

kpcoupe · 05-07-2008, 10:53 PM

wow thats a really nice house! o ya and the car is really nice too!

milk242 · 05-07-2008, 11:30 PM

beautiful car! I can't wait for my DCT M3... Do you live in the Dallas metroplex by any chance?

vladinecko · 05-08-2008, 01:13 AM

very interesting color combo, that's for sure!
