SMSgt B · 09-09-2007, 08:12 AM

I now can say I will ditch ordering an AW and go for the Jerez Black. All I can say is exceptional. Even better news is my better half also likes it over the AW. Can't wait to see it in person ... hopefully this coming Saturday.

Damn nice... enjoy!

M/// · 09-09-2007, 09:13 AM

Congrats on the M...Please try to look for details that havent been photographed before and post for us!! GREAT COLOR COMBO..but for that combo i would let go the CF roof and have a sunroof instead...or is it clear in real life?
I rate the car 10/10

Filthy Monkey · 09-09-2007, 11:54 AM

Some more pictures, as requested, including some of the interior and the roof. I've also added a shot of the interior of the dealer's demo car, so you can see a black interior.

Enjoy

riyatch · 09-09-2007, 12:16 PM

thanks for the extra pics. thats the exact color combination i was thinking about getting as well. just wondering why no M dead pedal?

mkoesel · 09-09-2007, 12:33 PM

Congrats on the car. Looks spectacular.

Does the red interior photo look accurate on your monitor to real life? Or is this more accurate: http://www.m3post.com/forums/attachm...1&d=1189210432. It's an odd red, but I think I like it.

Filthy Monkey · 09-09-2007, 12:52 PM

I think that picture's the most accurate I've seen of it. It is definitely not a bright red, more of a cinnamon. As I think somebody mentioned earlier, the name 'fox red' is pretty accurate, as it does resemble the shade of a fox...

Why are you getting another M3?

I also love the adaptive headlights. They’re one of those options you don’t notice you have until you drive a car without them. Visibility in corners is fantastic.

Aren't adaptive headlights standard?

The red looks so much better without the extended leather. But I wish there was a base red leather/extended black leather combo.

andreas1234 · 09-09-2007, 01:37 PM

hi filthy great pics the red looks better than i thought....can you add some pics of the rear to see how wide it looks and also a pic of the front...thanks..sorry to bother you all the time for more pics...hard to decide here in canada

I was looking at the "Official Jerez Pictures" thread in the photo gallery forum and noticed that in the interior pictures there is a M dead pedal. Did they forget to put it on in this one? Maybe it doesn't come with it in the UK?

Correct. Not just the UK, but all right hand drive M3's.

It was the same for the E46 too.
