My AY F80 M3 is here! First North American owner on forum, initial impressions

IMrMark · 06-04-2014, 01:36 PM

Congrats on the car OP! Jealous and excited! Looking forward to more photos and perhaps a youtube clip if we are lucky.

igom3 · 06-04-2014, 01:49 PM

Congratulations!!!!

I want one

uae247 · 06-04-2014, 01:52 PM

Nice color combo

Congrats

Those are my child seats too. Get the seat mat also.

Btw
My friend with a YMB had has front suspension replaced as a part of a recall campaign.
I didn't get that yet. Wonder what's changed.

Edit
Ok
Just found out that the car has two recalls
1-DCT software
2-Front Shock absorber replacement

And more desireable as most will be dct. This might be the last M3 with a manual so make sure you get one while you can.

MFL · 06-04-2014, 02:45 PM

Cool story, now go drag race an E90 M3 because that's all we care about right now

Chico · 06-04-2014, 03:07 PM

beautiful car...congrats and enjoy it!

MMOTION · 06-04-2014, 03:09 PM

Congrats OP! Thanks for the mini review and first impressions. Mad jelly but proud that this beast belongs to a fellow enthusiast from Toronto! Hopefully will be able to see this at one of the local meets sometime soon!

maybe tomtom (I'm guessing the friend you are referring to) or you could elaborate further on the recall

F1Venom · 06-04-2014, 03:29 PM

When do we get them in our US dealerships?

bradleyland · 06-04-2014, 03:45 PM

Haha, I love that you posted the car seat photo

But, bro, srsly! Get a car seat protector. They're like $25 and soooo worth it. They reduce the denting and all but eliminate any scratching.

Seat backs are a hard plastic now so don't think they are needed, are they?

they protect the seats underneath the car seat, not the seat back of the front seats.

MistaVauros · 06-04-2014, 03:55 PM

Why does the F80 tailights have zero amber/yellow color but the F82 has it in the tailights?
