Get the 6MT - the savings there more than pays for the full leather

Did that as well but that wasnt about money... there was no way i was buying this car without a 6MT. the DCT is great but 6MT is where my loyalty is at!

Get both. How many times are you going to buy an M3 in your lifetime? Get it how you want it, and worry about the money later. I mean the car is at least $70k. It's not like you're going to go to the poorhouse if you splurge an extra $2k.

In my e90 M the lights are FINE- the dash could look a lot better to me.

yeah thats the logic i used... f*ck it..i already spent 75k what is another $2,500 to completely change the look and feel of the interior and set it apart from regular F30/F32. I say if you are buying this kind of car you should get what you want and not worry about the money.

Full leather easily over led for me. I don't like the housings of the led, the xenons look a lot nicer IMO. So, take my opinion fwiw.

Full leather is an impact upgrade big time

Well I pulled the trigger on full leather. I plan on keeping this car 4-5 yrs as its a brand new model and the new tax laws in GA promote keeping a car longer. I have LEDs too tho

I was feeling the same but drive a lot at night an do about 20k a year. I hope the led are an upgrade for night driving. Read reviews with people on both sides of the fence. Ended up going led so hope it pays off.

I like the LED headlights. I think the lights are more intense and whiter. With coding, the intelligent high beam is very cool.

I am loving full leather. Makes big difference in terms of how luxurious car looks from inside.

Yeah i think i really wanted it because i have a sedan. It plays into the luxury sport combo.

slalomfever · 09-06-2014, 03:29 PM

double check with your CA....I think full leather is back ordered. Your production may be moved to January. The same goes for carbon roofs.

Can anyone else confirm this? My CA is on a cruise so i cant ask him at the moment but if this is true that is really shitty news!

I told him not to add if it would delay. I already have a carbon roof so yeah. Not changing that.

slalomfever · 09-06-2014, 03:38 PM

I would suggest that you ask your CA's for a production print out. If it was accepted by BMW AG and your production schedule didn't change...then you should be good.

From what ive read all you have is an estimated production date until it actually starts. When i call bmwna they say week 39 but the print outs or websites are generic order entered stuff. It does say order accepted on my print out just no date.

The car im getting was already ordered and changed for me when i decided to get it. Not sure if that matters but it had cf roof the whole time.

dmk08 · 09-08-2014, 11:19 AM

My order was officially updated this morning. I was assured there will not be a delay for the leather, cf roof, and black wheels. Im still showing accepted for week 39 prod.

Yeah and now that i went full nutso and have all but lighting/brakes the wait is going to be even harder. Lol. Im hoping the wait will pay off with even better incentives in Oct

YMB-M3-J2 · 09-08-2014, 11:43 AM
