Got My M3 Last Night!!!!

half man half amazin · 02-17-2011, 02:15 AM

Hello all, I am no stranger to this forum, but this is my first thread. I joined in 2007 when the 335i was first released. I was 2 weeks away from getting mine when I started hearing about the hppff ( I think thats the abreviation) nevertheless, it scared me off, and since then I have had 3 cars one being a 2008 Corvette. Anyhow, long story short, I fell in love with the M3, it was between the cts V coupe,( I didnt like how the rear quater panel looked, and the wheels look to small for the body, its automatic tranny blows!!) 2011 corvette z06, (the inside reminded me of my last vette, too much power for a dd,) Nissan GTR, ( costly to maintain, feels like the car is drving itsself, and end of the day its still a nissan) and I choose the M3, why? because I LOVE EVERYTING about the car.

I went to go order my M3, I wanted fully loaded silverstone metallic, with fox red interior, well they just happened to have one 2011 M3 Coupe, SILVERSTONE, but with the speed cloth, very well equipped except im missing the button that folds the mirrors in!

we started working numbers and he gave me a killer deal on that one since it was in stock. I must say this car is all that I thought it would be and MORE!!!

Im still trying to figure everything out. The way it drives is out of this world, so smooth 75 mph feels like 25 mph. The DCT is amazing!!!! I have managed to put 120 miles on it since last night but sooo far away from my 1200 mile service

here are a couple iphone pictures from last night and this morning. Will take better ones soon.

Thank you man, my favorite M color!

M3Fool · 02-17-2011, 04:35 AM

Nice color choice, i would be intersted in seeing how the fox red contrasts with the silverstone

osteome · 02-17-2011, 06:39 AM

Congrats! My favorite color too!!

SSII with Fox Red has been done, although it is not common. I like it, but was not that bold to commit.

Congratulations!

I've heard lots of good things about the speed cloth too. You'll love it!

Congrats on your purchase! I know they are apples and oranges but how does the M3 compare to your '08 vette?
