Pigwet's Silverstone 6MT F80

pigwet · 10-12-2014, 07:27 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

After 107 days of waiting, the M3 has arrived.

Options are 6MT, 19" silver wheels, adaptive suspension, moonroof, harmon, and executive package. I was able to use the $500 off incentive. I have not decided on clear bra or tint yet.

The car is a beastly rock. Extremely solid, quiet interior, door closing, etc. The manual transmission feels fantastic. I did install a clutch stop from Burgertuning.com using 3 out of the 4 spacers. Definitely improves comfort by letting me sit farther back. Handling is great and stiff as you want it to be. The gizmos and navigation are perfectly designed not be annoying. Stereo is impressive. Seats are feeling good and firm so far. Rear seat room is fantastic and much better than I remember.

Gripes:
-Don't think the left and right temperatures can sync?
-Phone doesn't automatically start playing pandora/spotify. Used to in my old Lexus.
-I hear a "rrrrruuuuppp" sound every now and then after driving for a few minutes coming from the right rear of the car. Sounds like a combination of the rear wheels rubbing the fender (of course they are not) and the automatic locks locking (already locked). Just another M3 noise?

Very nice M3!!

luvmybluesbb · 10-12-2014, 07:35 PM

Nice to see another SS M3!

TopazM3 · 10-12-2014, 07:47 PM

Great pics! Beautiful car, especially in that light.

BMWJ · 10-12-2014, 08:22 PM

Nice

Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm strongly considering ordering a M4 with this color and the gray 19" wheels. Your pictures help a lot with my decision. Please post pictures of interior if you have time. Gorgeous car and impressive background and lighting condition.

Congrats on the car. I was thinking silver but never seen that color in person yet.

For some reason mine was order 7/15 and arrived 8/23.

fortressmaximus · 10-12-2014, 09:18 PM

Silverstone is amazing.

dkhm3 · 10-12-2014, 10:22 PM

Looks great! I am getting the clear bra. The car looks too amazing not to.

Lups · 10-12-2014, 10:26 PM

this car is my dream. OP, if someone steals it, don't go looking for coffee stains. It wasn't (probably) me!

M3OW · 10-12-2014, 10:48 PM

Silverstone is the nicest color on the f8x IMO. Nice choice op and congrats.

CanAutM3 · 10-12-2014, 11:03 PM

Beautiful car

Great colour

It is interesting that I prefer the silver wheels on a SS M3 while I prefer the M4 with the black ones.

RickMonet · 10-12-2014, 11:49 PM

Great car - love the Silverstone.

6MT M3 =

Love the scenery too.

The silver wheels look nice - but I think they will turn dark soon from brake dust

Full Black Interior?

Dinh335 · 10-13-2014, 11:25 AM

great looking car! and yay for some silver wheels! in my humblest of humble opinions, look way better on this car than the black.

mikeyr0x · 10-13-2014, 11:39 AM

Awesome backdrop and car.
