Full photoshoot of my 2017 M3 ZCP with MPE & M Elec. Steering wheel. Tons of pics!

BrooklynXB7 · 03-23-2017, 09:23 AM

Hi everyone. Tuesday was a beautiful sunny day in New York. So I decided to wash off all the salt, snow and mud from my new M3 and meet up with my brother for a full photoshoot in downtown Brooklyn. I have to say I absolutely love this car. It's so unassuming yet incredibly fast and sounds amazing! Here are some of the pics. I hope you guys enjoy!

Why you have that little bracelet on your knob?

knightarmor · 03-23-2017, 10:56 AM

Lookin sharp!

RocketBoots · 03-23-2017, 11:22 AM

The black wheels look great with MG

mc3456 · 03-23-2017, 11:43 AM

Looks nice but damn shame to have that front license plate mounted.

-JLT- · 03-23-2017, 12:22 PM

beautiful ride but lose the front plate and drop that baby!

sjuhawks19 · 03-23-2017, 03:59 PM

Those pics are great, your car looks fantastic and your brother has some serious talent with the camera.

INDVDL///M · 03-23-2017, 05:27 PM

Great photos of you MG! Thank you for sharing!!!

Schalldampfer1 · 03-23-2017, 05:27 PM

Looks great but the front suspension looks a bit high for ZCP. Now I could be way off. How long have you had the car? Reason I ask is a buddy of mine that picked up his M4 noticed his suspension looking a bit high. He found out the dealer forgot to remove the transportation suspension spacers. They are blue or another color and would be slipped in somewhere between the spring and shock. You would also notice the car driving a bit harder than normal.

It's not a bracelet, it's a cross. And it's for good luck.

I know I know it sucks! Even the CA at the dealership was like "are you sure you want me to drill into the front bumper?" as he cringed... But I just don't feel like getting tickets and I don't like the other available options.

Thank you man! Much appreciated. Yup my little brother is pretty awesome. And he's humble about it too. We were trying out some new flashes and stuff and just experimenting. He has such a passion for it!

Thank you so much for the kind words!!! Of course for the photoshoot I couldn't get my steering wheel to turn on. The one time I want to photograph it. And of course this morning it turned on with no problem!

Seems fine to me. Thanks for the heads up though. I'm taking it in for the break-in service one day next week so I'll have the dealership verify it.

Ha! Thank you very much! I did have some hesitation about powder-coating them because people said they would lose their definition, etc. but I must say when they are clean they look phenomenal. They really provide a great contrast to the mineral grey exterior color. I'm very happy with how they came out!

yup, i would have done the same.

Just installed a couple more carbon fiber parts in the interior. Wasn't a fan of this stuff months ago but wow what a subtle difference it makes! I love the new look!!!

KevinM · 03-31-2017, 09:25 PM
