Are the INVO's supposed to be good? They're priced pretty cheap...I doubt I'd swap out the PS2's that come stock on the M3 with those

Its the engine designation. All motorsport (///M) engines have an S designation. S65 is the engine code for the V8 M3. The B stands for Benzine which is German for gasoline. 40 is for the engine displacement which is 4.0 liters.

Complimentary. You just have to pay for travel. Talk to your sales guy.

The wheels I ordered are a specific finish that must be on a black or white car. I still wanted a black car, and the wheel finish wouldn't go well with Jerez Black. I just have to do a real good job of detailing it.

I'm so f'ing pissed!!! I was on my first road trip last night visiting a friend on the LIE eastbound near right past the Queens/Nassau border minding my own business driving slowly and some asshole ahead of me in a A4 throws a plastic bottle out of their sunroof and it hits the front of my car. The guy sped off so I couldn't catch his license plate.

Now I have a bunch of scratches on my front bumper and the car doesn't even have 100 miles on it yet.

I swear, I'd love to find that guy. People are just pieces of shit sometimes.

It's carbon fiber adhered to a leather backing, then wrapped around plastic...used as an interior trim. It was an option on the M coupe/M5/M6 too, now the M3's have it.

In some of the M coupes the entire dash is wrapped in cf leather. It makes for a very spartan looking interior, but I like it.
