I love Internet forums.

12 months ago: New M3 is crap, and sounds like crap.
6 months ago: New M3 might be good, and the sound might be ok.
Today: New M3 is amazing, and the sound is great. Very M !

LOL...

Anyway, so jealous !

Due to the fact that I am still breaking-in, I was at around 20-25% throttle
It is Faaaaaast
Torque hits you like a wall.

Not artificial, just mic'd.

I'm not sure exactly why they have to wait; jumping through regulatory hoops and waiting for legal hurdles to be cleared could likely be part of it. Whatever the reason, the stockpiling of the cars at such an early date has always seemed a little strange. You'd think they could be actually selling and delivering them in other regions instead. Why not time them to come off the boat in May or even June instead of now? They have this multi-bazillion dollar just-in-time manufacturing infrastructure that can get the cars built in the exact quantities they need only to have them delivered on a date that is months earlier than it needs to be.

Because they can fill the pipeline faster if they fill the whole thing up before turning on the faucet.

yours is a much higher grade of cheap crap!! yes, i am selling but not for an M3 (i wish!!)...I will be slumming it in an M235i.

Interior and exterior noise both surprises on the upside. I can live with that, much better than expected. Nice!

Chico · 04-23-2014, 03:54 PM

congrats man...I can't wait to see these cars with a nice set of 20's and a mild drop.

IMrMark · 04-23-2014, 03:58 PM

Man the good details just keep coming!!!! Thanks so much to all providing! I'm a little concerned about the bluetooth streaming via Android... going to have to ask about that

LDSM · 04-23-2014, 04:00 PM

The death of the M3 was greatly exaggerated
