I finalized a deal on a Space Gray M3 coupe this afternoon! I pick it up Monday hopefully. Fully loaded - the only option it doesn't have are the 19" rims. I'm not a huge fan of the 18's but I can always go aftermarket.
I've always loved M3's, and now I finally will have one. I'm so glad I waited getting one as I was able to get an awesome lease deal. It's actually the exact same payment my friend has for his 335 coupe which he acquired 9 months ago, even though the sticker price of my M3 is about 20k more.
Monday can't come soon enough! I'll post pictures when I get it.

I'll have to wait until after the first of the year. I bought way too many toys in 08. The morr v710 are soon to come out in matte black. I know they're not HRE, but they are 1/5 the price.

Beautiful pictures! It's making me want to mod my M3 already.
It's been a LONG night with 3+ hours at the dealer. Overall, the experience was great and they took me through EVERYTHING. It's crazy how many features there are with this car. I came from a 350Z so this is a big step up for me.
One interesting thing I found out is that the car is essentially neutered until the required1200 mile service with features such as cruise control turned off. Also, the dealer said the engine response is more limited in order to properly break in the engine.
Driving it is pretty amazing as is expected. The engine note is beautiful (I love v8's), it handles on rails and the interior is fantastic. I only had a chance to drive a little tonight on mostly city streets so I can't wait to take it on more interesting roads.
I didn't have my good camera with me tonight, so I had to take a few crappy iPhone pictures. I'll definitely take better ones in a few days.

The V710s are good looking, no doubt. But as you said, they are good quality, not great quality. I'm not even suggesting you go real expensive. You can get a set of Volks with M3 fitment for a GREAT price.
