Personally, I don't find this generation 3 to be all that attractive, but I do like what you have done to your M. And the color is HOT and I really like that front lip.

Nice job.

looks great so far! Is new suspension already in? Looks lower from when I saw it last week. BTW, my friend in a G35 (black) was behind you yesterday.... he texted me "I'm behind your friend's M3). He said you were being a dbag. jk... lol

I was in Chicago (Taste of Chicago) this past weekend and was looking out for your M3 and the other M3 coupe I've seen on the 3 series thread.

Car looks perfect!

Question: Does BMW assist with the delivery of the car? Or do you provide your own? If BMW, does it, how much?

Thanks.

BMW takes care of it all. Once you done driving the car in Europe, you have several drop off locations that you can go to. Once there, the transport company takes it via truck to the port and puts it on a vessel. Then the car comes to the States, passes customs, then BMW's processing center THEN loaded on a truck and goes to your local BMW dealership.

No extra charge, just pay the same destination fee as if you were buying from the dealer.

I feel like I see five new M3's a day on the road. I am glad to see that you have already started to modify your car, so it isn't just like everyone else.

Car is SICK. Would like to see what the back would look like if the top of the tails on the trunk angled more and met with the top of the tails on the quarter panel. Might look better as it is now, but other wise the car looks flawless.

please do not get the HRE P40 like everyone does. Get the CF43, it would definitely set you apart from the standard crowd.

Yeah, I'm in the small minority also. His 335I coupe was perfect, and so was his NSX. Unless he needed the back seating.

I sling crack-rock AND have a wicked jump shot.

I went with the sedan for a bunch of reasons.

The coupe is about to get a facelift, so I didnt want the older version.

Sedan just received the facelift so it wont be changing anytime soon.

I had the 335 coupe and a 328 sedan. The sedan just ended up being more comfortable for me for daily use. Plus i do use the rear seats often for work. Which is why the NSX was hardly driven. I do miss it though.

I almost feel like the 328 + NSX = M3. I get all the comfort of the 328 but with the performance of the NSX.

Justifying FTW!!
