My MW F80 is finally here (new pictures)

Vetkin · 12-16-2015, 01:19 PM

EDIT: Met up with a good friend of mine yesterday who snapped some better pictures of my car. If I had planned the photo shoot in advance I would have removed the license plate first and scouted a better location, but they're still cool pictures none-the-less!

---

My first M car and first BMW, I was finally able to pick it up on Sunday! It's going to take a while to adjust to this beast after daily driving an S2000 for the last seven years.

I've had the painted badge and kidney grills from IND for a month already, so I eagerly installed those the first day. I was actually surprised at how easily I was able to install the grills after reading about other peoples experiences. I just reached in with my fingers and didn't need to use any tools. Ended up a little bruised but no blood drawn!

Thanks!

It's MW, and yeah with how overcast it has been here it doesn't shine quite as much. I'm looking forward to doing a proper photo shoot whenever the sun decides to come out.

Yep, full SO interior.

Every other car I've owned has had a black interior, so I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to try something different.

6MT

I was surprised at how soft the clutch pedal is. I thought my S2000 had a soft clutch but this one is much softer... maybe even too soft. Overall I'm pretty happy with how smooth the shifting is though, which is good because I was only able to test drive the DCT before ordering.
