![]() Probably the most relaxing part of our vacation. Lake Garda (Italy), great hotel, great views, but lack of good driving roads nearby. Aqua Dome (Austria), I think the best part of the vacation for me. Fussen (Germany), Stunning views, the lineups at the castles sucked, but everything else was awesome… The highlight of course being the Welt and more specifically getting my car. ![]() I grew up in an old European city, so it seemed… familiar. Munich (Germany), nice city but not much more. We could have spent the whole vacation in any one of the places we visited, and would have loved it… it kept getting better and better (St Tropez was the exception). It then took my wife about a minute and a half to make new ones eventually we got very close to my original plan. It took me two solid months of research and reading the forum to pick the destinations I wanted. Also the CAM tool seems like a great option I will however miss the performance exhaust… although I am sure my neighbors are super happy They already voice concerns over my 335 with the perf exhaust… and that is quieter than a stock M3. ĝidn’t care much for the power increase… JB4 seems to provide more bang for the buck… if/when I decide to crank it up. The stiffer suspension will put a strain on the daily driving and long family trips. The 20” rims are ridiculous and no good for much track work (or winter tires). The kids will not be able to resist to poke me through the seat holes… I like my kidneys the way they are. Ğxec package, why wasn’t the HUD a separate option , but at least the kids get to warm their butts on the back seats ![]() ĝCT, money-shifts and traffic got the better of me… going through the mountain passes I was very happy with my choice and I will be leaving them for my winter set anyways. đ8” wheels, just like them more than the stock 19s. Got the moonroof, I will track the car from time to time but I will also be going on long roadtrips with it, so a roof-box/ski rack was a must… ![]() Mineral Grey, I wanted Austin Yellow, but my wife vetoed it… just like before I avoided too many questions. Especially when the Comp Pack came out… but here it is: It took me ages to figure out what I wanted. We even made good deal A night and day difference when compared to the other BMW dealership around here. I want to call out Karl Enmark from BMW Seattle! He was awesome and friendly and even though there was mix-up with the allocation, he did right by us. The forum was absolutely crucial and gave me so much info that the total negotiation took less than 15 minutes! A month later, January 2016, I had signed a deal for a new M3. With a blank check in my hand I started shopping. I still think she had an off day when she said yes, just like the day of our wedding, but one knows when not to ask questions. and just the same way I did when we hooked up 14 years and two kids ago! Fortunately, she is the best person that I know and truly my soulmate, and decided that yet again we will spend money on a car instead of new furniture… love her to death. Unfortunately, the creative reasoning did not get much traction (see what I did there ) with my better-half. which is a defacto minivan for the family… M3 is safer on the road because it can change direction quicker, thus making accident avoidance more likely. M3 is safer on the road because it can accelerate faster, thus get out of a dangerous situation. M3 is safer on the road because it can stop faster, thus it can avoid an accident. Solid arguments were used to prove that we are really buying the car for the kids: At that time my wife, which must have been either high or mentally incapacitated, agreed that we can buy a brand spanking new M3. Shortly after that I learned about the European Delivery program and thought that it will be an awesome thing to experience… so I thought to myself “one day I will do an ED… it can be for a 318i, but I will do one…” Fast forward more than 20 years later and we come to the end of 2015. maybe 15 years old, and broken up, but I will get one…”. I have been dreaming of an M3 since I got into cars as a teenage boy, and I remember thinking: “one day I will have an M3. lets get a little bit of the car pom out of the way more in the details… NOTE: pay special attention to the Pro Tipsįirst thing’s first. NOTE: the crappy pics are from a cellphone. There will be plenty of details, but I will organize everything in sections, so if you want to skip ahead you can. I will try not to repeat the info found in other great ED posts, and will focus on new info. ![]() I have used this forum to learn so much, and I want to make sure that I give back in spades. This is going to be an obscenely long post. ![]()
