Picking up my new M today!

Well it's been a long wait but I'm finally picking up my 2011 E92 M3 today. I could hardly sleep a wink last night, thinking about how much fun I'm going to be having driving my new M3 this afternoon. I'm driving for 3 hours to north Houston from Austin today to pick it up. It's gonna be 80 degrees with not a cloud in site. Should be a beautiful day for the ride back home to Austin. I'll post some pics this afternoon.

Did you buy it from BMW Houston North? That's where I bought mine. Dieter was my CA. Good guy, though he never did mail me my M Mats.

Yeah, BMW of North Houston at the Woodlands. Steve Cook is my guy, good guy, kept me very informed the whole way. I have to work this morning from 7am to 12pm, then I'm heading straight to Houston to pick up my baby. These last couple of hours are going to drive me insane.

Your car was on the Toreador as well right? I would have had my car a week ago if I didn't have them install the performance spoiler. Congrats! I still have 3 days to go.

She's home!

As promised, here's a couple of pics, will post some more tomorrow. I just have one thing to say about the E92 "it's light years ahead of my E46". Damn, what a ride! Thanks guys for all your replies and thank you for allowing me to share this experience with you guys.

Just different enough from AW to be.....different. Looks fantastic, AW is a great color on the M3 and the new Mineral White color does the car the same justice. Enjoy!!!

Looks great! I saw a brand new Mineral White E93 335 here in Houston yesterday in bright sun and the color looked very nice.

Now go close your hood

Either that or get it adjusted, but something needs to be done indeed. Hope he notices that before heading to the highway .
