Grandma said keep the plastic on the seats...they'll last longer

Seriously, congrats dude. Take a week to break it in and come back to the forum with a full report

Congrats again, thanks for the interior shots! You confirmed how cool the Sakhir Orange contrasting stitching looks on the black leather and that it comes standard, which is friggin amazing!

Sweettttttttttt ride.

+1 on comparison to E9X M3 and sound compared to the M3 and your previous M6 (E series or F??)

I have the same question... Who are you protecting the leather seats for?

[Ducfan]

Great day - thanks for sharing

Also....do I see that contrast stitching on leather dash is orange? Maybe I missed this discussion.

Current m3 is AW on fox red.....really wanted to do different on f80 but seeing yours reminds why it is such a popular combo. It really looks great.

Congrats!

Some great night time (and vs E90 M3) pics coming...

[jstnstr]

Wow this is a nice surprise. And yes, what every one else said; more everything!

[DrtyJrze]

I'm willing to bet if he doesn't start reviewing soon BMW will ban him from making one on this (or any) BMW affiliated site. It's important for any company to control the initial information and message reported about their product. Not to mention auto reviewers are going to be pissed that their initial reviews are going to be skunked by an amateur.

He should push out as much info ASAP.

Nice car. Congratulations!

Are the carbon ceramic brakes not available in your market, or was "all options" less-than 100% accurate?

[Kash]

As of this minute, You are the most interesting man in the world!

Congrats!

[///M3Owner]

Congrats 7abibi

[Staszek]

Nice!!

[IEDEI]

comparisons to your 1M please!

congratulations!

[jackkk]

WOW! Congrads, that is like I ordered, the SO interior (full) stock breaks but MW not AW and 18 wheels.

So much questions to you. REWIEV ASAP please.

How does the stock breaks feel? How about the steering? How ca u compare the driving dynamics in comparison to the 1M (I'm the ex 1M 450hp owner). How does DCT feels after the 1M?

[Sapper_M3]

Congrats!!!

Not sure if this has already been said, but if it has I'll pile on: Get this thing weighed on certified scales! Be the first to post a real-world weight figure for the car!

[N54B30A]

please do us all a favor and dyno it! Something tells me 430hp at 18.9 psi is an underestimate.

[secretariat]

Call Chris Harris and tell him he can use your car for review, for a fee of course. Hurry up and congrats

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.

She did mention that the first cars they would be receiving are "pre-production", meaning that they come as they are. She said she could pick colours out of the lot that is shipped to Canada, but not much else.

I guessing that the production lines are not pumping M3 and M4 at full steam yet. BMW are most likely only passing an M3/4 once in a while to shake down the line and that full capacity will only be reached at a later date. I am just speculating here based on the knowledge I have of the industry (aero******* I work in.

[Fortyb]

I have a buudy that will be working out there this summer and were both here at work drooling over your M3.
