Was able to turn the M3 on and surprisingly it had a very gargling aggressive tone while warming up. Overall, M3 really takes it for me. The rear arches look very aggressive compared to the M4. The M4 looks great but too similar to the current 435i in my opinion. The CF roof on the M3 also looks incredibly in person.
About Braman BMW, very disappointed.
1. M3 has a $25,000 Mark Up 
2. No test drives 
How is one supposed to buy a car for a $25,000 mark up and cant even test drive it? Aren't DEMO/Launch Cars there precisely so potential new buyers can go and test drive them? 
It was either loosing $25,000 over 2-3 months or order one and wait. So I left and drove myself to Lauderdale BMW in Pines and ordered one and will be here in August/September. 
If you havent done so, make sure to check the car in person. Pictures dont do them justice. |
I tried to order from Braman and asked them to honor the 1k test drive promotion from BMW as it would not be delivered in time and they would not budge from MSRP. That is their prerogative and mine was to leave and order from Coggin BMW.
