Anyone get a clear bra in Columbus?

Capt Crunch · 10-27-2015, 04:06 PM

Is there an Auto-X community near Cleveland? Google gives me a bunch of websites that haven't been updated for 10 years.

I'm still driving the car. It hasn't rained much. No snow. One last go before I put the car away

Any Yas marina blue or Sakhir orange M's around Dayton, Cinci or Columbus? I'm trying to decide on a color and have never seen either in person.

So far in Columbus during 2015 I have seen a white M4, a grey M3, and a blue M3. Three sightings in a year!

Best of luck in your search!

Looks like there is a SO and YMB in Cincinnati at a dealer(s). At least according to autotrader.

Ah, I saw the SO on the dealers site. I'll have to check autotrader for the YMB.

snareman · 12-19-2015, 12:28 AM

I only see the SO. There is a YMB all the way in Ft. Wayne though. Do you know which dealer you saw the blue?

BMW of Cincinnati. Stock number: B16-374.

snareman · 12-21-2015, 12:12 AM

Ah, thanks!!

Turns out they have both YMB and SO there. I'll have to take a drive down there.

Cool!

Be sure to view YMB in different lighting. I saw it inside and it looked completely different than when it was outside.

Have fun and sneak in a test drive while you are down there.

AndyLu · 12-21-2015, 09:54 PM

There is a ymb m4 driving around Hyde park Cincinnati. I drive 1 of 4 alpine white m3's in Cincinnati

Did you check them out?

GasMan85 · 01-02-2016, 08:54 PM

Just checking in from Cleveland. New M3 owner BSM/SS. Loving it so far.

I did. They have a ton of cars there including the YMB M3 and SO M4 convertible. Oddly I stood and stared hard at $75k cars for 20min and not a single person came out to see if I was interested in one and when I went in to use the bathroom and asked a guy if they had any other M's he said he was the pre-owned guy and yelled over for one of the regular sales guys that I had a question about Ms, to which the regular guy told the pre-owned guy he could go ahead and help me. I guess no on there wants to sell a $75k car. Interesting.

Anyway, it was an overcast day so both cars looked darker. I didn't really like the darker rustier color of the SO as much as the bright orange pics I've seen. The YMB had almost a slight purple hue to it. Not necessarily bad, just unique. I think I liked the YMB better in the overcast light. I need to go back down and see them both again on a bright sunny day now.

Glad to hear they had both and you were able to check them out in person.

I had the same exact issue as you when trying to pick a color. I drove two hours, one way, to Cleveland twice to check them out. I was about to give up because I was not loving anything. And since I was buying I need to 100% love it. Then I saw the MG/SO combo and was immediately sold w/o any questions.

I'm sure it will click for you one day.

As far as the sales people go I have noticed the same thing. Then again prefer to be left alone. The only time I want to talk to a CA is when I want to test drive. In that case I will call ahead and let them know my intentions. When it comes time to talk numbers I'll give the test drive dealership CA the first shot at the sale. After that it is mass phone calls to General Managers and Sales Managers followed up with e-mails.

Keep me posted!

Saw a moonstone m3 in Hyde Park Cincinnati today. Wonder if that person is on the forums

AndyLu · 02-03-2016, 05:29 PM

Has anyone been driving their m3/4 in Ohio?

Since the weather had warmed up I was tempted to take the m out but I work so early the tires are hard to manage with the cold
