Mantis Meets the ///M

dawgdog · 04-12-2008, 09:02 PM

Congratulations! I have an e92 AW on FR on order, and I also have BBS RS-GTs, but in silver. I ordered the oem 19" wheels because they look good, and since they do not have a dish they look bigger. In addition, I would pay this much just for the rubber. One thing for sure is that RS-GTs are light! I will try them on my M3 at some point I am sure. And I do think the wheels would look better if the car were lowered, though I am hopefully going to restist this temptation. Was easy with the 335, but with EDC...

And no way in hell would I replace the centercaps (either black or red) with BMW roundels.

Enjoy your new car!

+1. Ditch the wheels.

Nice car, Mantis.

Congrats!!!

ErikV10 · 04-13-2008, 10:44 PM

Nice M3!

Is the CF roof an option? I was looking your build sheet and it didn't say it as an option. Reason I asked is because I saw a picture of a white M3 without the CF roof.

!Xoible · 04-13-2008, 10:46 PM

it's the standard option, you can opt to get sunroof for free

Toomstone · 04-13-2008, 11:38 PM

Mantis...

I saw your car yesterday. You live right by the Tustin Marketplace at Serrano? I saw the front of it sticking out from like a hundred feet away and I was like hell yeah NEW M3! I was helping someone move out and I took some pics of it with my phone. My girlfriend said it looked like it was growling! Haha
