My 2016 AW M3

phantomray · 09-29-2015, 12:14 AM

My first thread!

Most important part:
2016 F80 M3
Alpine White
Black Extended Merino Leather
Executive Pkg
M DCT
Adaptive M Suspension
19'' Light Alloy Wheel 437 M
Fineline Anthracite Wood Trim

Order process
04/?? - Can't remember what exact date.
07/07 - Order documented
07/18 - Production began, also my dreams about M3 began

07/30 - Products ended, my patience was about to end
08/12 - En route to the U.S.
09/09 - Dealer told me my M3 was off ship, ready for pickup in the weekend.
09/11 - Car arrived dealer on Friday, took a look at dealer.
09/12 - After 4 hours' sleep, took the delivery!

Impression after driving 600 miles
Keep it short, it's a beast! Even I don't go over 4k rpm, it got a lot of torque and I am enjoying driving it everyday!
Now my daily ritual is to take the car out for a spin before going to bed.
Only thing I don't like about the vehicle is - 1,200 miles break-in period.

Pictures!
After driving 600 miles, it was really dusty and the car is crying for a detail! So, I schedule a detail and just got it done this afternoon!
Used my iPhone to take those pictures, please pardon the poor quality of those pics. Shot those during a sunset, all pics are kind of yellowish. I will post some better ones later in the weekend! Hopefully!

Congrats!!!! The best color in the world!!! My car ended production on 7/27. Most likely the reason why we both hot Michelins still. 😀

Yes, those PSS tires are really sticky.

Downside is they pick up all the gravel on the road as well

But overall, I like them!
