F80 M3 in San Diego today!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
FYI for anyone around SD or Southern California, just got a call from BMW of San Diego to come over and check it out. It was only there for a short time but left about 3 hrs ago (he thinks heading up to BMW of Encinitas). It looks amazing and sounds MUCH better in person than all the videos I've seen. For some reason the image upload is not working, so here is the link

There's those all black rims again. Stop parading the cars around on damn wheels that you aren't offering.

I certainly hope that the new seats are not the second greatest improvement of the F80!!

I think he was quoting the driver's feedback, not saying he drove it himself.

I dislike this feedback: The f30's steering is very responsive. Responsiveness is easy. Feedback, the understanding of what is going on with the tires at the steering wheel, is what has lacked in most (but not all) EPS systems.

It didn't go to Encinitas. I ordered my YMB from there a week ago and the dealer is going to call me if and when an M3 shows up so I can see it. I talked to him just yesterday and he never saw one...been there all week. I keep missing it!!

They are without a doubt, at least according to my butt/back today at the NY Auto Show. I do have a much smaller frame though I'm sure than most of you guys here...
