Just bought my M3! V8 DCT :)

mihink · 03-25-2013, 03:28 PM

After looking long and hard for the right car to replace the 997S, I found this beauty all the way In Arizona. Couldn't pass it up and pulled the trigger. Bought it from a BMW dealer and had it delivered yesterday via enclosed trailer to Maryland before the epic snow storm on the East Coast.

'10 e92, Melbourne Red/Black. Tech/Preimum/DCT/Carbon roof/Heated seats/Carbon leather trim/Enhanced premium sound/Ipod-USB/Smartphone integration/Rear PDC/19 inch wheels. Original MSRP was about $72.5K

Car is mint condition except for a few rock chips. Clean 1 owner car, garage kept with complete service history. This thing blows away my old e46M3 and is more refined than the Porsche 997S. The V8+DCT combo is intoxicating to say the least.

Will be posting more on this forum since I am officially a member with my own car!

On to the pics

BTW the delivery guy (adidas track suit) apparently owns a C63AMG!?

Any cosmetic mod suggestions for MR? Wanted to get carbon fiber gills/diffuser/grill/maybe LED tails as a start.

Thank you Sir!

MA///M3 · 03-25-2013, 03:54 PM

IND, yes, a little expensive. try DDM or Amazon too. they have them. I like the smoked, which looks really good on certain colors-like gray, red, orange, etc.
