I'll join anyone who is willing to roll up there as a group. Fair warning though I'll be packing the wife and out of control kids with me. The M3 is a family car right?

Hey guys,

Just picked up a 15 F80 Silverstone on SO from BMW SA this weekend.

Glad to be back in an M3. Coming from an X5M.

Still got the e46 M doe.

Where do you guys get your cards detailed in Austin?

Thinking maybe Feb or March, 2 day school. We get 15% off with CCA membership.
Southwest flies into spartanburg/Greenville.

Thanks!

I'd be interested as well. I saw that the Lone Star chapter was trying to set something up for Oct. Anyone know if that is going ahead?

Just signed up for the CCA event @ COTA in November - saw quite a few F8x on the roster - anyone here attending?

Can't wait - can not frickin' wait.

scottemad · 10-07-2016, 09:28 AM

Car FINALLY is in production! This wait has been killer.

Nice! Wait for the boat ride across the Atlantic - puts the saying "slow boat from China" (Germany, whatever) in a whole new context...mine felt like it took a really like time to get to the Performance Center in SC.

The car makes the wait worth every second...

I've already been waiting since the first week or so of June. At this point I'm starting to become numb to the waiting.

Ok, now the wait is getting hard. Just got photos from my dealer back in Chicago. Tanzanite looks so good in overcast light. Should be down here next week!

Apex 18x11 ET44 rear wheels in Silver!
$500 a pair!
These are left over track spares that were never mounted to vehicle. Never been touched by lugs.
They did have tires mounted, but they will be unmounted. You will need your own tires and valve stems.
PM for hi res pics. Some pics up in the for sale section.

HomeBrew · 04-30-2017, 01:42 PM

Upgraded from a E90 330i.
Waiting on re-delivery of the F80... Sitting on an anchored ship just south of England... Hurry up (goes to refresh http://www.marinetraffic.com)!

Vectors2final · 08-18-2017, 10:09 PM

I'm coming back, ya'll.

Car is on order and should be arriving in November.
