One of the reasons I went out of state and did a PCD pickup. I guess they don't have a problem selling their allocations around here because they won't haggle much. I even had a couple of CAs not believe I got the price I did and had to look up my order to believe it.

I'm in NW 'burbs too. Bartlett.

On a somewhat off-topic note, this forum has been a fantastic resource during the process of spec'ing and ordering the car. It was quite an ordeal; I'm in the the NW suburbs and the dealerships around here just didn't want to talk… Patrick had their two cars stuck in snowbanks when I went looking, and Motor Werks wouldn't work with me on price…or let me drive their 6MT. Sigh. Maybe I just don't look serious…

where r you located?

Well, I'm jealous. My wife thinks I'm crazy for not doing the PCD. She's probably right; but I just can't take the time from work right now. Must have been amazing!

I was surprised that the dealers didn't want to move their '17 inventory. Oh, well; I guess they know their business better than I do.

Looks like you're a member of the 6MT club, too. Glad I'm not the only one in the area! Never been able to get used to the DCT…but I probably never gave it a real chance, either. I just enjoy shifting for myself.

Naperville -MY17 white with carbon spoiler, diffuser, mirror caps, splitter. What make it easy to spot me is the only f80 rolling on 220m winters from my e90 I just sold. Got lucky and they fit, I can worry about a new winter setup next year

Checking in from the NW side of Chicago (Logan Square) and I've got a Mineral Gray over Sakhir Orange w/executive package being built in week 6. I've always wanted an M3 but the closest I've ever been is a 330i ZHP back in 2006.

Kung Fu English · 01-21-2017, 10:29 PM

Never did actually introduce myself lol

I'm in South Bend/Goshen, IN area. I went through Tomkinson BMW in Ft. Wayne who traded for my F80 M3 from Bmw of Bloomington in Bloomington, IL

MG with SO interior ZCP 6MT.

Got the deal for about 7k under MSRP (2k under invoice) after all December incentives.

Hope to see you all at the BMWCCA Autocrosses at Tire Rack

And wave good bye to my Focus RS lol

checking forecast, it looks like 40s-50s for the foreseeable future. would it be crazy to swap summers tires back on? or just jinxing it?

marrk · 02-09-2017, 10:23 PM

Switch em! We'll probably get one last snow and a few cold nights but otherwise it should be ok.

Checking in from Glen Ellyn....stepped up from 335d to a 17' M3 with ZCP and 6MT. Good fun so far, but still in the break-in period

instantexpert · 03-04-2017, 08:52 AM

I'm officially a member of the club as of yesterday at 11AM. You'll see my MG/SO M3 in south Logan Square and surrounding areas.

Seriously, I've had my non CP car for 48 hours now and, while I know there is some ASD going on, I think it sounds pretty damned fabulous overall.

GlazierGlaze · 03-06-2017, 09:18 PM

Trying to organize an F8X photoshoot this spring. Let me know if anyone's interested, or wants to go out and shoot.

I would be interested in attending as well. I have no photography skills, though.
