Delivered! SGraphite/FR/18" E92 pics

Krank · 05-23-2008, 12:51 AM

I am still in Iraq and unable to enjoy my new M3, but I am still quit happy about it finally sitting in my driveway in Germany.

My wonderful wife picked it up 3 days ago and she is now working on the break-in miles for me. With any luck she will have the break-in service done by the time I get home!

Now for some pics!

vladinecko · 05-23-2008, 12:54 AM

i think SG on fox red is one of the best m3 color combos. congrats!

so you have one more girl to look forward to when you get back, huh?

MDCTFTW · 05-23-2008, 12:54 AM

Whoa I had no idea the door had that pull out thing! Sparkling looks so good when it's overcast.

Haha! Yeah. I am not sure which one I look forward to seeing more...

Fortunately she understands my obsession for cars and won't get too jealous of the car. She is pretty commited to getting the break-in done for me too. 200 miles done so far, and her only complaint is that she constantly finds herself over the 105 mph break-in limit without realizing it when she is out cruising on the autobahn. Apparently, everything people have been saying about it not feeling as fast as it is really going are true.

beautiful car! congratulations and hurry back safely from iraq

goldminer · 05-23-2008, 12:47 PM

That is exactly the major option combination (E92, Sp Graph, 18" rims and FR leather) that I am going to order this fall. The only thing I think I'll change is that carbon-fibre-look leather for the aluminum trim.

Thanks for the pics.

Nate@IND · 05-23-2008, 01:14 PM

Nice color combo

Drive safe and enjoy!

lizak187 · 05-23-2008, 01:16 PM

awesome pics of the fox red leather...overall Great lookin ride

kyoshozx · 05-23-2008, 01:19 PM

Car looks great, I really like Sparkling graphite.

Lucky you, having someone break in the car, that's the hardest part.

I agree, the carbon leather looks much better than the Aluminum.

I originally ordered the Carbon Leather trim, but it was delivered with the aluminum trim. My dealer says he has ordered the carbon leather trim to fix his error, so I am hoping it will be installed before I get home.

Yeah, at least I can open her up when I get home. 4 days and the wife has already hit 400 miles. She said she wants to get it broke in way before I get home so she can "romp on the car" a bit before I take it away from her...

SHADY1 · 05-23-2008, 06:08 PM

Your car looks great and it looks like your wife is taking pretty good care of it. I guess she better enjoy the break in, because once you come back safe she will be stuck with the 740i, its still fast but not as fast as the M3

I am a Service member myself I had a 740i before I left germany last year it was fun on the autobahn until I ran accross a Audi RS4

Thats okay because I ordered a M3 because of that and I will get revenge.

I know what it is like to be down range be safe take care and make it back to your wife and your new M3. I have one request I wood like to ask you from one service member to another. Since I am not there in Germany anymore teach a Audi RS4 a lesson on the Autobahn for me once you make it back safe. Enjoy your M3 when you get back. I am still waiting on mine from PCS to get produced.

I been

back once hopefully WK25 this time

take care

rmmcdaniel · 05-23-2008, 06:31 PM
