My Silverstone M3 Arrived!

RickMonet · 11-22-2014, 08:42 PM

It has been interesting following my car through the process: order – wait – production – shipping – wait – VPC – PDI – delivery!

I finally picked up my M3 a few days ago. It had 5 miles on the odometer when I picked it up – ready to put more on! I will provide my thoughts after a few weeks of driving. This is my first M-car.

Timeline:
Order Placed = Aug 9
Build week 41 identified
Production Started = Oct 6
Production Completed = Oct 15
Loaded on Vessel (Aniara) = Oct 19
Arrived at VPC(Oxnard) = Nov 14
Picked up from Dealership = Nov 19

Options:
Silverstone Metallic
Black Full Merino Leather
Carbon Fiber Interior Trim
Driver Assistance Plus
Executive Package
Lighting Package
19" Black Style 437 Wheels
Adaptive M Suspension
6MT
Enhanced USB and Bluetooth
Moonroof
Parking Assistant
Power rear sunshade
Harman Kardon

I plan to keep in stock form for a while – we’ll see how long that lasts!

Congrats!! The lighting makes it look like a brilliant silver, can't see the bluish tint, at all.

Beautiful M3 !!!

Jockey · 11-22-2014, 08:51 PM

Still my favorite color

BEMR · 11-22-2014, 08:57 PM

Looks so good in picture that it looks like it is modded. Congrats.

I am a red fan by the natural condition that most fear, it simply stands out and not just to cops, but by everyone. It is good to be seen on the road, all to often a lot of people are not looking at the sea of basic colors on the roads today. When I not so long ago checked out the Silver Stone M4 at my local dealer, I became a convert. Very classy and understated. Congrats on your purchase and good taste. I do not know if I will fall to my desire for a louder, look at me color my inner child desires, or this car deserves, but my grown up side and visit at the dealer screams Silver Stone. If you would be so kind, as to add more pictures, this convert sure would be appreciative.
