EDIT 4/21/16 -- added new photos to post #23 on page 2!

Just got back from a 1,200 mile drive from Peoria, IL to Boston with our new baby! I've scoured this forum over and over and probably seen every members' photos twice over so figured I should give back in the form of photos. Couldn't be more pleased to finally be in an M3. Haven't had a car for two years and before that drove an '07 335i so to say this is a new feeling would be a huge understatement! Wasn't intending to buy new but found the exact config we wanted for a decent deal so decided to go for it. Traveling for a bit so I won't be seeing her till April at which point I'm excited to explore more post-service but for now pics attached and build below:

Black Sapphire Metallic
19" Black Wheels
Full Silverstone Leather
Executive Package
Lighting Package
CF Roof
6MT

Welcome

Beautiful color combo. Love that you are keeping the 6-Speed alive too. Congrats!

IM2C · 03-20-2016, 07:09 PM

Great photo skills! After 6 black cars, I said never again. Never say never.

GOLFFRR · 03-20-2016, 07:12 PM

Fantastic, great set up

Is it weird that I now want cookies and cream ice cream? Beautiful car. +1 for 6MT!

M5essex · 03-21-2016, 10:38 AM

congrats

great thing is you can get the break-in service done straight away and have some real fun now....

because i'm sure you didn't take it over 5k revs....

bradleym · 03-21-2016, 10:42 AM

Yup kept it under 5k and considering the low temps that we were driving at the tires probably weren't ready to go over anyway.

Congrats on the car

DBACE · 03-23-2016, 08:26 PM

Congrats OP, the car looks great with the contrasting choices you made.

pdx_m3r · 03-23-2016, 10:33 PM

black beauty! It looks great.

What kind of paint protection are you going to use, if any? I had opti coat on my black sapphire metallic 328i when I lived in Boston and it survived 3 years of no garage and all that snow/salt. It looked brand new 3 years later when I returned my lease!

Good question. I've been out of town since getting it and hadn't been expecting to get black so haven't read up much about paint. Luckily we're moving to California soon so salt won't be a major issue anymore but I was scouring some of the paint protection threads on my flight and didn't find much of a consensus so I'm a bit lost.

Some people were saying that opticoat reduces the shine of the paint? Also how much was it when you applied yours do you remember?

Any interior pictures? Great combo!
