We definitely need a Santorini shoot. I'm in the Paramus area. A few years ago, you and I did a Mode Carbon meet/run that started near 9W/Palisades Parkway. You took a few pics of my old 2011 E92 M3.





Remember my blue TE37SLs?

Haha, you cried? Thanks so much! A lot of time, headaches, stress, work and patience played out from the proposal to the wedding. Just the planning of the F80 alone required a lot of logistics! For the color combo, check out the the updated professional pics with more of the interior.

Thanks for noticing the finer details of the attire! Appreciate it. I'm a forever manual. I love DCT on track (at M Performance School), but I can't stay away from the third pedal on normal street use.

Thank you MRG. The studs were one of the best parts I bought for the car. It's all in the #details.

Thanks - I couldn't resist doing the donut with the drone above me. There's also more to it than just the purse.

Lol you have good taste. The M3 is for both of us (even though she probably would never want to drive it) and we both got LV gifts - she got her purse and I got my backpack. #fairdeal !

Just this: I sold my last M3 to buy a ring and save up for the wedding.

Err...cough, cough.

Just kidding!

Lol, what can I say. I love the girl.

Thanks again for the hospitality! Hopefully one day the Santorini can be as nice as WhiteCoco.

What king of limo are we talking about here...

Haha, I have a Sales background?

Thank you! It wasn't the easiest choice and had a ton of doubts while during production. I'm thankful how it came out.

Thank you very much. And FYI, your build obviously inspired my wheels.

Thanks! If you're local, let's meet up. The pictures don't do justice to the color.

A bit overdue - I ordered the car in January and took delivery on April 1. I sold my last M3 to buy a ring and save up for the wedding. I somehow convinced my fiance to change our wedding limo and to drive my own car, and so I ordered the F80.

Long story short, I changed my order 5 times (the Individual VIP Specialist was extremely PATIENT with me, so thank you to her!). I started with a few different purples, then pulled a 180 and went with Nardo Grey, and a day after my order was submitted, I pulled yet another audible and went with Santorini. My fiance (at the time) told me I may not be a purple car kind of guy, and I always wanted a blue car, so why not now. I always loved Laguna, Santorini, Le Mans, and Atlantis. 3 out of my 4 fav blues were already taken locally, so decided on Santorini.

After waiting about 3 months for delivery, I picked up the car in April. It was then detailed for about a week at Enthusiast Details then the build was put together by IMG Motorsport: IMG and Prime Performance. Most parts were provided by IMG and alex at autocouture.

After finally getting it back about a week before my wedding in May, it was certainly worth the wait (again)! A huge thanks to IMG and Prime Performance for making this all happen in the time frame I needed for my wedding.

Thanks, I'm not sure. I would have to ask our Videographer.

[Ringer]

Nice colour combination...and extra points for manual transmission!

[stealth.pilot]

Stunning configuration. If I bought an M3 this would probably be how I would build it too.

I thought about featuring either my M5 or my F-Type in my wedding, but in the end I decided not to. My reason was that cars come and go, and I didn't want something transactional to star in something eternal. So I went for something timeless and had a chauffeured 1956 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.

I'm glad I did what I did, because as my first anniversary approaches I have sold both the M5 and the F-Type R.

I agree. I haven't kept a car for more than a year. The wife told me "you're not selling this one" since it's sentimental now. Oh well.

Just moved to Hoboken a couple weeks ago and saw a SB F80 driving down my street early this morning. Turned around and saw the "5TOCK" plate on the back and realized I knew this car.

Looks even better in person!

Cheers!

Thanks, I try so many back roads in Hoboken. Say hi next time if you see me .

I had a full Amaro Brown individual interior and personally believe that there is no color leather color unless you're buying a Ferrari. My exterior was a standard mineral gray after they denied me my original individual choices
