Sold the Mini after only 3 hours on one of the other forums I visit, so yesterday, I took delivery of my new M3. Alpine white/black, Premium, Technology, M-DCT, 19" wheels, enhanced sound, sat radio, iPod, park distance control, and heated seats. I put over 100 miles on it yesterday and i'm loving every minute of it. Only mods planned are tinted windows and painted reflectors. Here are a few pics:

 

Congrats on the new acquisition!!

Have you found any differences compared to the mini?
What's your first impression on it?

 

Once again, congrats mate.

What made you go with the aluminium interior?

I really wish i had pdc on mine. Did you get comfort access? That is my favorite option, it's beyond helpful.

 

NICEEEE, how do you like the DCT?

BTW aluminum trim is 100x nicer then CF fabric!

 

Thanks guys. I have noticed some slight differences from the Mini. My first impressions are great. I used to have an E46 M3 and all I can say is that BMW takes an amazing car, and somehow makes it better. I know people will say its not as raw and blah, blah, blah, but as a daily driver, I think it's the perfect car for me. Very smooth, yet firm, the transmission feels great, and the sound puts a smile on my face.

I went with the aluminum trim because it's what was available. They had another car with the carbon leather trim, which I prefer, but that car had 70 miles on it from test drives. I figured, I'd rather have a car that has not been driven. Trim can be changed. Comfort access is included in the Technology package on the M3, so yes I have it.

 

Big teamspeed Congrats!!!!!!!!!
wouldn't a nice TS sticker look great on her

 

Thanks DJ. Got any white stickers?

 

Sweet ara. I actually like the aluminum. I wish I had it on my M5.

 

Thanks Mark. I also like the aluminum trim. My wife has it in the 335 too. If I get bored of it, i'll just change to the carbon trim.

 

congrats on the purchase!!
