Talking Finally picked this up today....





Got it with 3 miles on the odometer. Put 200 miles on her today... too bad the day was so shitty out.... The car has a weird smell though.... burnt clutch.... Now I just have the master a manual tranny....

The pics of the Imola Red interior are not that pale... looks that way cuz it came from a shitty camera phone.

I love the car though... I went to pick it up at the dealer and three different people wanted to buy it from me in the 1 hour I was there.

Its so hard keeping this thing tame during break in....

Can never go wrong with Silver Gray.

Just curious but did you ever consider getting the Competition package?

I did for a while... but from what I've heard, its a little over-priced considering its only really bigger brakes and marginally improved steering ratio.... those things I like and would probably have done it, but I'd loose steering wheel controls (radio) AND cruise control.... I think the ZCP wheels are HOT too... but I like em as equally as the stock 19's on mine.

I dont think I'm ever going to track the car or even mod it, so I'm sure I can live without it....... I hope i'm not just saying that.... I'm sure I said the same of my CL... lol


BTW, i'm learning how to drive stick on this thing... NOT EASY! The clutch is heavy as hell and the gas is way sensitive... I actually took a crash course on a Civic after I picked up the car, just to get used to it.... Civic was easy.... M3 was brutal to say the least...

Its a fairly rare color combo. Plenty of dealers have M3s in stock, just not in every color combo.

Car looks good. Now join the BMW CCA and come out to the Auto-Crosses.

Just that most dealers won't order stock vehicles with the Imola Red interior.

lol, actually... i'm the copycat... me and belty have identical cars give or take a few options...

i actually did not know he had the same color combo when i ordered the car... i just knew he had a Silver M3... although i'm sure i'd get dirty looks from him if i lived next door

now... i do think i'm gonna take the copycat route to the next level and get painted bumper reflectors too.... the orange clashes real bad....

edit: and thanks for all the compliments all!!! i like my car so much i sat in it till like 3am yesterday...

BTW.... Acura navi ROCKS compared to the one in my car... but whatever, i need a navi... i drive to client locations several times a week

thx for digging up those pics.. and better pics they are. damn look at that interior. so wow, you two really do have the same cars. I think a proper "dueling M3" photo shoot is in order.
