Congrats RugbyBro on the M3CS! I think it's the best looking M3/4 of them all. Especially in SMB!

I get that, but I love it for some reason. Maybe the same reason I loved how my ZLE looked. A lot of sharp angles etc.

The ZLE is clean!!!

That V8 in the Z06 is going to be a dream to drive. Peak power isn't until 8400rpm and redline is 8600rpm. That is just begging to be revved to the moon. Sounds amazing too. I think they have a collectable winner on hands.

It's bittersweet because I love this community so much that it saddens me to have to break this news to you guys. I always through the F82 would be a forever car but every car has a price... Anyway, I've posted some pics and memories of my time with the F82, and whoever is lucky enough to end up with it will be in for a great time.

And with that I will close out this post... the F82 will be sorely missed. But ultimately I needed something a little more practical that is just better damped for these PNW roads and has 4 doors. To everyone on this thread, I'll just give you a reminder that y'all are so great and it's been real: stein_325i CT_M3 swagon Tecnniqe Sedan_Clan minn19 Arcades GrussGott NickyC MFNATIK CanAutM3 Humdizzle M3WC F8SEVEN dms-01 Thescout13 fiveohwblow icegrill No Boost and quite a few others that I am not quite remembering off the top of my head, as well as those who are no longer with us on BP. Now I sit here without the F82... I feel a hole in my soul and I only hope that its replacement (pic below) will fill it.

Surprise... I ain't going anywhere

Now let's get this thread to 1000 pages

Damn, I was getting kinda sad then the last pic...

Fricking awesome!!! Congrats!!!

Saw a post on Reddit calling it the Kirkland Signature Lamborghini... that about sums up the looks for me.

Sounds like a banshee though

Yeah good luck getting one if you haven't had a deposit for over a year.

What was interesting about the launch event, at the end they mentioned this is only the beginning. The Z06 is only the next step. There must some epic C8 versions coming.

Rumor is the ZR1 will be electrified. The reason they went mid-engine for the C8 was mainly so they could electrify the front-axle.

Yes ZR1 will by Hybrid and then top line Zora version as well.

Shocking that Chevy can do this while BMW can only come up with enlarged grills and uniform Ipad screen interior for us to look forward to.

Look what I rolled up while getting some ppf for my polestar. They do exist and the issue lies in the a pillar forward

Barely a week.

Justin's mothers 992 got to her dealership two days before me. So I had expected to see mine within a day or two. Sure enough, it showed up today. Her car was on the same ship (Glovis Sun) as mine.

Arcades · 10-26-2021, 06:36 PM

My GT4. A few photos the dealership sent to my CA who forwarded it to me. I am going in to see my car in person tomorrow and figure out when to do my paperwork, along with some other details.
