Judge Dredd · 06-18-2014, 06:46 PM

This car is sold and was at BMW North Scottsdale a couple days ago:

Very nice! Through what Michigan dealer?

I'd love to see in person. Want to go to the track?

nick380 · 06-18-2014, 06:52 PM

Wow! Excellent choice of color OP. Let the dream live to its fullest, Ultimate driving machine reborn. I'd love to know how it feels after you break it in!

Love it !!! Drive it in good health.

I've ordered mine in MG with SO interior 2 weeks ago.

And I've been thinking if mine choice of exterior is too tame ! lol
Coming from two black 3 series back to back.

But .... The more I see MG is more I'm falling for it.

Cause it was either MG on SO or SO on black.

Nice car but it's a significant setback that BMW doesn't offer a carbon fiber roof with a moonroof. Either you have a carbon fiber roof or a moonroof and no carbon fiber roof all at no extra charge?

Car is 77,300.00 discounted 1100 bucks which I think is fantastic considering these are selling in a heart beat for above sticker..

carbon roof is a nice contrast. Not huge, but just the right amount. In the sun MG looks excellent.

from 2500 to 4k RPM it has a very nice sound.. In video's the car sounded flat and ugly, I didn't have high hopes. But in real life it has base that the videos cannot pick up well.

Have not had much chance to drive it a lot being I work early tomorrow but the car is so fast, it reminds me of my e92 but so much better in so many ways.. I had several head turns and people taking pictures when I was driving around today. First time most people are seeing it in person.

I will post more pics tomorrow.

I'm guessing the M4 looks just as good in person as the M3? I was able to get hands-on with an M3 and damn it looks good.

So you want to save the weight with carbon fiber then add way more back with moonroof?

Drawback, not setback, btw. And the shaping of the roof makes up for it, so I disagree with calling it a drawback. Plus extra room for the helmet.

Nice, where in Michigan? Metro-Detroit area?

Agreed! I am going to add this to the FAQs thread.

puredrive · 06-18-2014, 07:49 PM

sounds like a Ferrari? u on drugs?

wdeerfield · 06-18-2014, 07:49 PM

paying 46k for a lease in 3 years is crazy if you ask me.. car looks great though in that color. enjoy it! and in 3 years someone will get it for 40k

mcasseba · 06-18-2014, 08:21 PM

Agree with other comment on color just making the car blend in. Not sure what it is but the car is not popping and does not look like a $1000 month. I favor the frozen colors so maybe that will make a difference with all black wheels. Congrats and GL with it.

JRZM3_ · 06-18-2014, 08:23 PM

Wow, BMW engineers have replicated the sound of a V12 in a V6?

$7700 MSDs is deposit, not down payment. That money comes back at the end.

Congrats OP. Car looks great.

/// M sa · 06-18-2014, 08:30 PM

That's my color on M3 now get me my car damn it. Congrats

Don't hate lol but I wouldn't go that far saying it sounds like a Ferrari but sound is different to each person.

Want to answer quick questions
Yes I am in the USA
Yes the car sounds amazing in real life compared to the flat sound in video's.. Car almost sounds like a Ferrari if I had to compare.

Loaded with everything except adaptive suspension.
I just got done taking all plastic off the car. had only 7 mi on it at pickup.
Discount on the car was 1100 bucks
it's a lease
very happy with it.

I will answer any questions so please leave comments and I will get back later tonight from dinner and answer away.

pics

Wow what a beauty!!! Congrats. I don't wanna bombard you with too many questions, but they actually budged a bit off of MSRP and gave you $1100 off? That's great for such a new M car.

In glad you elaborated on the exhaust note and that it sounds good in person. I agree that it sounds like crap in the vids.

dondula · 06-18-2014, 08:51 PM

Hey guy's,

I am waiting for this weekend when I finish with work so I can take a bunch of pics, write a review and answer all questions.. I have not had much time to do so.

MANY of you have been curious about the Key fob.. Lets put it to rest.
I have some pictures side by side of my old 2013 e92 key fob next to the m4's..
so they are both up to date and you can see how much larger the new key is compared to the old.
