milwaukee area M3 owners

I have a 2016 M3 on order through Knauz BMW. I live in the greater milwaukee area though, just wondering if there are any other M3 owners here, what M3/M4 you have, pics, info, best/worst dealership experiences etc? I have mixed feelings about the 2 milwaukee area dealers thus far but have to use one or the other for service.


I ordered a yas merina blue M3 with a likely september build.

Milwaukee M4

Hi there, I just got a YMB M4 last week. I wanted to post some pics but can't seem to figure out how to reduce the pic size properly (iPhone pics). I bought it at Concours, they've been fine to deal with so far. I sent BPost an email a few days ago regarding uploading pics, hopefully I'll get it figured out soon

Thanks , yeah it's a beautiful car. You will love the M3, I'm certain. My car is even better than I'd hoped and my expectations were very high to begin with!

I'm irritated that knauz won't move down from a .0017 money factor. If I could find another chicago dealer that would give me the same deal of $2500 over invoice but with .0013 money factor I'd be all over it.

I dealt with International Autos, the sales manager was really nice to work with and they gave me a great deal. I was purchasing so don't know about their leasing practices. I also have a YMB M3, sounds like everyone in this area has great taste!

Looks like exactly my car I'm ordering, except I stuck with the 18" stock rims.

Only thing I've done so far is put on a carbon fiber diffuser. Looks awesome. Hopefully ill figure out how to post pics and upload some soon. I've got the standard headlights, the LED lights do look sweet. What does the "euro spec" do excactly?

Basically they "move" around cars with the high beams using individual LEDs and turning the headlights in order to light up as much of the road in front of you as possible while avoiding blinding drivers.

It's funny you ask , I haven't been able to work that before or after - only time I saw it work was when salesperson showed me. If doors are unlocked it should be ready, no? Just swipe under with foot when doors unlocked?

Doors don't even have to be unlocked, you just do a kicking motion under the rear bumper with a key fob in your pocket.

My car is on the train to bremerhaven. I just ordered a crap ton of detailing/cleaning gear including a new rupes 21 orbital. I also got my ODBII to ethernet F series adapter so I can do the coding for the EU spec lights.

Next up, winter rims and tires from tirerack.

Not from Milwaukee but do work up in oak creek and Racine. I'm from north Chicago. Take my car to knauz for service. Overall good experience. Didn't buy from them though. I have a 2015 mg on amaro brown m3. Here's a quick garage pic. You may see me around. Already got 3000 miles in her in 7 weeks. Haha

Thought maybe I saw your MG M3 at concours a week or two ago (maybe some other lucky person)? I thought grey was a boring color until I saw in person , it looks amazing - putting on a lot of miles myself, 1600 in about 5-6 weeks

My car is status 190 since yesterday, which basically means on the train to bremerhaven. There is a train with a bunch of cars on it at bremerhaven today, I'm hoping my car is on it. It does appear to be a train full of BMWs and Minis. I hope they get my car loaded on one of two ships leaving for the east coast tomorrow. Otherwise I think I'm stuck at port until 9/21.
