Got our new M240I tonight!

Spykexx · 11-22-2021, 10:04 PM

Hi all, long time lurker, first time posting. Have been all over trying to get an M3, and my wife wanted an M240I ever since she saw them.

When we put in my order for my M3 at our local dealership we spoke to them about getting an order in for an M240I and they said to hold out as one was coming soon to check out. But it unfortunately had a buyer already. Got word today it showed up p and we could come give it a look. Turns out the buyer walked, so we ended up buying it! Incredibly impressed coming from an E85 coyote mustang, and worth every penny!

Haha nice, I'm hoping to swap over to the M240 after it arrives as my daily, but I have a coyote swapped 67

My 67 is faster but ..it don't turn too good :P

Congratulations, wishing you plenty of fun and safe miles. Looks great.
Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the new purchase.

Thanks! White wasn't our pick, we wanted purple lol but it wasn't a deal breaker for us.

Ours are both 2020 mustangs. After quite a few personal things within the community and Ford, we have decided it's time to move up and on. Being as we have a race team together we decided we wanted to go to a more diver centric brand and here we are! She got this, and my new M3 is on the way soon. Porsche 911 and BMW M3 is what started my love of cars!

It's Alpine white, which most the launch cars were.

Lightngsvt · 11-23-2021, 10:11 AM

Good looking car, the extended shadowline is almost required on white and red IMHO. Great choice (to your dealer) on the wheels, I'm a big fan of the 792's, did you get the AS, or performance tires?

I think overall it's just needed lol. They went with the AS as I'm Midwest and it's going into winter. Not my first choice, but it unfortunately wasn't my order. I'd have changed a few things.

MmmmmM2 · 11-23-2021, 12:55 PM

Very nice and congrats! Hard to find new cars these days!

Hoping to have some shortly. We let them use the car today at the dealership to do training for personnel working there. Hoping to get some good pictures and video as soon as we grab it.

royhesketh · 11-24-2021, 01:16 PM

Congrats. I previously owned a Fox body notch back Mustang years ago and also a couple of E36 M3 and am really drawn to this new G42 2-series

Spykexx · 11-24-2021, 09:23 PM

Got to pick it up tonight! Love it the more I drive it!

02M3ForMe · 11-25-2021, 12:33 PM

Are the taillights tinted?

yanks1 · 11-26-2021, 09:05 AM

Taillights are darkened out of the factory.... I like them

Spykexx · 11-26-2021, 08:51 PM

They are stock that way.

Also just got good news that my M3 allocation was received today! So onto production soon!
