Picked up my new M3 today!

Bama M3 · 03-05-2009, 08:57 PM

What a great car. I got to drive it from Ohio to Virginia today, although it was tough to keep the RPMs down. I should be able to hit the 1200 mile mark within a couple of weeks.

It's actually better than I expected. The thing sounds great and drives like a dream.

Here are the specs:

08 E90
- Jerez Black with Fox Red leather and brushed aluminum trim
- Tech Pkg, Prem Pkg, Cold Weather Pkg, Prem Sound, PDC, 19" wheels, rear window shades, moonroof, iPod integration, satellite radio, & HD radio

The color is awesome. I love how it changes colors based on lighting conditions.

Here are the obligatory crappy cell phone photos for now:

I'll make some real photos after I've had a chance to apply Zaino treatment #1 and install Blackline tail lights, which should occur this weekend.

Thanks. I don't think the combo could have turned out any better myself!

NugeMobile · 03-05-2009, 09:23 PM

Amazing!!! E90 4l

AZ-BMW · 03-05-2009, 09:23 PM

Congrats

I picked mine up at the Performance Center in Spartanburg last Oct, then drove it ~2K miles back home to AZ. Best 2.5 day drive ever (even if I did need to keep the rpms and mph down)

This one was actually shipped to the dealership in Ohio where I found it, so I don't think it went anywhere else.

Good luck with the wait for your 09. That will be sweet.

Looks fantastic!

Congrats! It'll take a long time to get the smile off your face. I picked up mine a week ahead of you and it's still there.

You must of had a huge grin on your face the whole way home.

Congrats on the new car!!!

kittivan · 03-06-2009, 09:45 AM

Green///Hell · 03-06-2009, 10:30 AM

Awesome color combo. I like Jarez but my last car was Carbon black, needed an easier car to keep clean lol

URBAN LEGEND · 03-06-2009, 11:33 AM

Looks like you got rained on on day 1.

arr0gant · 03-06-2009, 12:45 PM

Wow, looks to be EXACTLY like my car!! I have every option except extended leather. What options does yours "not" have?

How much you pay?

chris s · 03-06-2009, 01:46 PM

wow...an 08 still new on the lot? We're halfway through 09 production almost. I hope you got a smoking deal.
