BMWNA FTMFW - Package received today!!!
A while back "HammerM3" was having problems with his M-DCT Paddle Shifters and needed them reversed because of his handicap. He wasn't able to downshift fluently without a major hassle. Nothing was being done about it so I decided to contact BMW of North America via PM to see what they could do. About a week or so later I recieved a notice saying:

The details they put into the model are UNREAL, the trunk is even felt-like material. . .it's just a model but they pulled it off well.
And yes an M3 model would be SICK.

What you did was generous. I think it's fully-deserved. I wanted to buy one in Germany but they're way too overpriced.

Don't remember the specifics, but I do remember that it was more than any model car should cost hahaha.
AND they had my EXACT car with the same color combo inside and out. It had to be overpriced by a lot in order for me to have resisted the urge.

i saw an m3 model car in red at my dealership. It was priced at $174.50! lol just didnt seem right spending that much on a model car considering i bought a whole crap load of car cleaning supplies at half the cost.
