New to me 2018 M3 Tanzanite 6MT

3Pedal · 08-07-2022, 04:44 PM

1st Post, new to BMW's, 3 weeks ago I drove from Denver to Albuquerque to buy a 2018 Certified Pre-owned F80 Comp with a 6-speed manual. Loving it so far, just got paint correction, ceramic coat and PPF on the roof last week (previous owner had PPF'd the front and partial hood) Good to be part of the group, learning a ton from all the different F80 M3 forums here

Beautiful car. The 6spd is the best option along with the ZCP.

hC1001 · 08-08-2022, 10:45 AM

Congrats. Enjoy the car!

FAM3LYCAR · 08-08-2022, 05:34 PM

That is a great spec, congrats!

Have to upvote this beauty. My non comp DCT has exactly the same colors inside and out. Do you have your windows tinted?

Kilabyte · 08-15-2022, 08:22 PM

Congrats! Very nice and thanks for reminding me why I think that knob looks hideous, although I do miss it lighting up sometimes.

m3rxn · 08-15-2022, 08:46 PM

Congrats!

Congrats from another 2018 ZCP 6MT Tanzanite owner — not too many of us around! You'll love it. Still brings a smile to my face every time I get behind the wheel, 62,000 miles in.

Nice, thanks, I think the windows are slightly tinted by previous owner, maybe 45 - 50%, they're fine with me since I'm getting older and had a car recently with 35% tint and was too dark for me at night

Very nice, love the license plate, that 2nd pic really does make it look black at dusk. What wheels are those ? Kind of look like the 513M 18" but I can tell they're not, did you keep the 666M's ? I need to get another set for all-season tires for winter here

What diffuser is that? Also, fellow MD owner here as well (Potomac).

OP, congrats on the new car, it looks beautiful!
