Calling thooooorgal, have you picked it up yet ?

Bastet · 01-24-2008, 07:01 AM

I wonder how thooooorgal is doing, he should pick his new M3 today from the dealers...

thooooorgal · 01-24-2008, 12:04 PM

sorry ..... i was on the road today !

so, here is my brand new M3.

very first impression:

Before purchasing, i had not seen IRL nor a white M3, neither the silver interior. The first one i saw was a silvertone, and i didn't like. 2 weeks after, my dealer gave me a sparkling graphite for a test drive, it was already better that silverstone (only my thoughts here

).

Both had a black interior with Carbon trim, and i was not impressed, i wanted my M3 to look more special.

So i ordered a white one, with the silver interior ..... hoping it will look good.

And it is better that i thought.

In fact, pictures are really not correct for the silver interior (mine also ^^), it fits perfect with the white exterior color, and is REALLY nice for real. It is much darker than on pictures, with blue reflects.

About the car, only 200km done yet, i will post later .. i need to go back riding !

2 others photos.

As a reminder, i have not taken the High Gloss Shadow Line, + EUR 500 options in europe, lot too expensive.

I don't reminder who, but someone wanted to see it.

On the second one, you can see that the black line around the side windows does not shine. I assume that with the High Gloss option, it should be more shining, but you don't even see it when you look at the car in a whole ... spare the 500 EUR, my advice

Something pretty strange, here in all the regular E90 and E92, you have a button on the seat to inflate the "side" of the 2 front seat, to be more tighten in it ..... but it is not standard in the M3 ... little dissapointed about that, i thought it will be the same as E90 and E92.

There is a option for that, but pretty expensive as always.

Mark · 01-25-2008, 11:44 AM

ah, you got the 19s, nicely done

quick question, do u think that faux-cf interior is easy to scratch or damage ?

thooooorgal · 01-25-2008, 11:53 AM

i have not try to scratch it of course, but il looks quite solid, no problem i think.

BTW, looks very good with palladium silver interior !

I wanted to see a car without it. Thanks. I think it looks good without it. I am not getting it- too expensive + gets stained by harder water easily. Good luck with your new vehicle

p.s. my configuration is nearly the same but I have gone for fox red non-extended, DCT and seat back width adjustment. Still cant decide hi-fi or logic7

I can perhaps help you on this matter.

My previous car was a E60, with the logic 7, and now i have taken the hi-fi for the M3 and .... i'm missing my previous logic 7.

Hi-fi is quite good, but i really loved the central speaker of the logic 7 system, and the type of sound it was providing.

But too late now to change.

About the car ... 3 days now ... already 800 km done .... loving it !!!
