My first M model

va335i · 07-12-2019, 01:34 PM

Just picked it up yesterday. I already have a box from IND to replace all of the chrome with Gloss Black. Took me some time to figure out how use the transmission. Just found out about launch control, I will give that a try on my way home.

Make sure you use the auto hold or you will roll while in drive if on any kind of slight incline. It's very unsettling. Good luck.

Thanks, I used your suggestion and zip tied the plate. I will post better pics once the Chrome is gone.

Congratulations, love the color combo DGM + Aragon...maybe I'm biased because I have the same combo

Congrats. Beautiful car

KCTiger · 07-13-2019, 07:53 AM

DGM is definitely an amazing color. I’ve only had mine for a month or so and it has been great so far.

AwesomeM3 · 07-13-2019, 12:52 PM

Same color combo as mine, I love it!
