Dmk08 build thread - Eleanor

dmk08 · 12-03-2014, 09:09 PM

As some of you know my journey started about 5 months ago when I first put in my order for an F80 M3. After 3 1/2 months of waiting and 'retrofit' I decided to buy an F82 instead of the F80. Well as life goes days after that decision my F80 shipped and was on the way. I had a choice to make and I went with my original order.

F80 M3
Mineral Grey
Full Sakhir Orange
6MT
19" Light Alloy
Drivers Assist
Exec Pack
HK Sound
Adaptive Suspension

A couple add-on goodies from the dealer..
M Perf Grills
M Perf Sides (not on yet but in a box in the trunk)
M Perf Exhaust w/ TI tips
M Perf rear spoiler
M Perf Front w/ custom lip
Klassen Wheels
KW HAS

First impression is that I absolutely love the car. I like the way it sounds but the MPE probably helps.

A couple shots from delivery...

Congrats man! It's finally here and glad you stuck with your original order.

Enjoy your new ride!

Vectors2final · 12-03-2014, 09:28 PM

Congrats!

That's neat, the shifter lights up. I cannot wait to be where you are... Long ways away.

You were so pumped about the SO/SO m4 just yesterday on your tracking thread!

What made you change your mind so quickly?
