Placed my deposit for a July Build Order Today

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi again everyone!

Thanks to the informative posts and constructive inputs that fellow members have given/posted, I decided to pull the trigger on a new 2015 BMW M3 Sedan.

My first new BMW was a 2008 SSII E90 M3 Sedan 6-Speed Manual, and the original plan was thinking on keeping it for awhile since I had recently purchased a new LP560-2, so I am not really in an actual need for a high performance car at the moment.

But to be honest, after driving the Lamby (rare occasions; haven't driven it lately, but leaves a deep impression every chance you do get to cruise in it), it always gives me a renewed appreciation of my 2008 E90 M3; as it is practical AND it also gives me the sporty experience and engineering that I can and do enjoy as well for A LOT less than paying for a brand new super-car. Don't get me wrong, the Lambo is fun to drive, but when I push my E90, it is also to me, just as fun.

The only reason why I bought the Lambo was the same reason I bought this car: This may be the last Super-Sedan-Practical car I can get with a manual. Just on a side note: When I first spec'd the car and wanted Black Sapphire Metallic, he went on his computer and told me that he has one that was pre-built to be sold in the same colour for the first launch. First thing I saw, and he said he was getting 5 pre-built M3's for their very first delivery, was that they were all AUTO. I was like wow, and when I asked him % of customers ordered Manual, he said %10. Never got to ask him about M4 orders though, so there maybe some Manuals for the 2 door.

Enough with my background, and on to the main components of my build:

Black Sapphire Metallic, 6-Speed Manual, Glass Sun Roof, Silverstone Full Merino Leather (Mandatory Premium+Executive Package), Piano Finish Black Wood Trim w/ Chrome Trim Highlight, ///M CCB, Adaptive M Suspension, and the Alloy Silver/Ferric 19" Double Spoke rims.

Cant wait until it arrives! (They estimate delivery time around Sept.-Oct.) Just wanted to say cheers, and I am truly happy that I am fortunate enough to be able to afford and drive machines of this caliber!

Looking at the cost of the car in other countries, I will admit that those of us in the US and Canada are fortunate to have a base price that is relatively affordable.

Actually, I am ordering now for them to build it in July, and the dealership estimated that I would take actual physical delivery in September!

Not much here in Canada lol. The exact same as my last 2008 E90 M3: Full MSRP, All season floor mats, and an ///M Key-Chain.

Yeah you ordered CCBs like me. No CCB builds till August with Sept delivery. Drop the CCBs and you'll get the car way earlier. There is no way the car will get built in July with the CCBs I will 100% guarantee it.

Well, the DCT was the better transmission for the E9x series with shorter, more aggressive gearing. However, BMW seems to have pulled out all the stops on the manual this time, and with the DCT adding like 90lbs this time around, manual may well be the way to go.

Also, sunroof? Heresy!

I know, I know. I actually spent a long time debating/changing my mind whether to get CF Roof or Glass Sunroof. In the end I went the Sunroof because almost all of my previous cars had it, and I felt that if I did get the CF Roof, I would miss the openness of the roof I am used to as I will be using it as my daily driver for awhile. To each their own!

Cheers!
