Sunburst Gold F80 M3 ED Journal (+ Newly Remodeled Welt VIP Lounge Review)

kengunnlee · 02-15-2016, 07:32 PM

Absolutely brilliant color, and tasteful choice of options. The speedcloth option is my favorite as well. Something about it reminds me of the old Alpina cloth Recaros in the E21. It has a very classic, utilitarian look.

_Mbition · 02-15-2016, 07:35 PM

FINALLY.... It looks absolutely stunning in Sunburst. And your ED was epic. Can't wait to see the one year old mods on the car!! Lol

Big thanks to Steve Thomas and BMW David for making this dream a reality!

Yeah, I had to think long and hard abou it but ultimately didnt want to risk getting all the road salt and rain all over the car before shipping it.

This now might be my second favorite color behind the Ferrari Red. Excellent choice.

I had a good laugh about the Welt comments, the delivery people there must have phoned my hometown CA and Business Mgr for advice on how "not" to tell the customer what you really think lol. Same reaction, almost word for word, when my car arrived at the dealership. Brilliant choice sir!!

Thanks, the Germans tend to be very honest lol!

Congrats, looks good

oh... and the only thing I would do differently is the leather interior.

Its an instant favorite in person!

RingMeister01 · 02-15-2016, 07:47 PM

So sick. Always enjoy your builds.

professor_yo · 02-15-2016, 08:00 PM

Holy Moses!!! That color is phenomenal!!!

ZIV3R · 02-15-2016, 08:10 PM

One word. Wünderbar! The color is perfect. The cloth interior is amazing. I hope you enjoy the car for many years to come.

Rock M4 · 02-15-2016, 08:15 PM

Very nice color. Did you also order special wheels and tires? it doesn't look stock.

WCH · 02-15-2016, 08:32 PM

Awesome color. I'm sure it will look great with satin black and carbon parts but even looks good to me with the chrome.

SamS · 02-15-2016, 08:34 PM

Great pics, and I dig your car color!

Funny.. when I did my second ED this past October, I thought to myself, "the premium lounge is starting to look a bit worn", as it was identical to my trip 4 years prior. Good to know BMW is putting that 2% reduction in ED discount to some good use

DrivenByE30 · 02-15-2016, 09:14 PM

Congrats on your second ED!
Awesome choice of MT.

Although i like the color, but especially with the shot looking down from the balcony, it is kinda weird as the color is fooling my eyes in seeing a Nissan, because this is a Z car color...

hyperboost · 02-15-2016, 09:21 PM

holy gold! nice car

I'm sure we'll stage a sunset photoshoot once we have her all built up.

GMe90 · 02-15-2016, 11:35 PM

That looks sooooo much better than AY! Awesome color!

roastbeef · 02-15-2016, 11:42 PM

the remodel looks great. that gold is a great color for the f80, it wears it well. love the pics next to the racecar.

DarkstarZero · 02-16-2016, 12:12 AM

Your license plate is going to have to say GOLD FNGR

vladberca · 02-16-2016, 12:35 AM

Big congrats for your lovely choice!

scheneider · 02-16-2016, 01:12 AM

1230vani · 02-16-2016, 02:56 AM

B e a u t i f u l as well as stunning color. Photos are also awesome! As i am living in Europe now i do not have the incentive to do delivery at the welt. I would actually have to pay about 1k to BMW to have the experience, so i never did it, your photos should suffice until i do it myself. Congrats!

Falafel Combo · 02-16-2016, 03:01 AM

I like it a lot! But then again, the 6MT + cloth already told me everything I needed to know.
