New Forum Member and M3 Owner

TheChef18 · 07-31-2013, 03:01 PM

I wanted to introduce myself to the forum and say that I succumbed to purchasing an M3 the same way many of you have in the past. I had always been a 3 series person, loved the idea of a M, and when car shopping a few weeks ago decided to test drive one just to see how truly different it was. That was the moment I realized I will never love another human being as much as this car....kidding (only slightly).

Anyways I wanted something unique and was extremely lucky to get a call about a limited edition Frozen Silver M3 with only 10k miles at a local dealer. Drove over that day and while negotiating managed to see 3 other people come in to see the same vehicle. Sorry if you read this fellas.

Anyways, here are some pics from the day I took delivery. They are all external, but I'll try and grab some of the stunning contrast stitching and striping on the interior at a later date.

I really enjoy the subtly of this car where it makes people do a double take to realize that it is different. Only think I am considering changing on exterior is matte black badge and a carbon fiber OEM spoiler. Performance I am trying to research the exhaust I want to be loud, but not obnoxious or with a drone. Any input on other modifications/ customization's are greatly appreciated.

P.S. If you are in the Tampa area I will be at Reeve's BMW The Gathering this weekend if you want to see it in person. Hopefully this nonstop rain will hold off on Friday so it can stay clean for a day!

Welcome, and that is one BEAUTIFUL M! is it white or silver? You should probably only consider a Akra Evo exhaust system and if you put on a OEM(OEM!) CF spoiler and some Black/Silver CF body and wheel Roundels your car will be the baddest ass M you can get!

Edward · 07-31-2013, 03:18 PM

What a great one you got there. Congratulations!

IND-Distribution · 07-31-2013, 03:18 PM

It's the limited edition Frozen Silver model. Honestly, pictures really don't do it justice. It can appear as several different colors all at once. From a matte silver, to a lustrous silver, to a blue almost the color of a glacier. It's pretty crazy.

JB.M. · 07-31-2013, 03:24 PM

Great color! congrats

81bear · 07-31-2013, 03:26 PM

Congrats on the new M... Fantastic looking colour!
