3er's Alpine White F80 M3 Build (04/25/2016: Rain & AMMO)
![]() Pre-Delivery Original Post: 01/26/2015 I planned to delay my build thread until receiving my car, but my patience has worn thin. Update: 01/27/2015 It feels so much more official now that the status has been updated on BMW's website.. Update: 02/05/2015 Finally!. Update: 02/16/2015 "All aboard!" My M3 is finally on its way to Texas. It's aboard the "Oregon Highway," which I find quite funny given the name spin on the Oregon Trail. On a side note, I was always too aggressive on the Oregon Trail PC game - who cares if Annie dies of dysentery along the way?! Cruel...I know... I just hope my car doesn't share a similar fate during its journey.. Update: 02/17/2015 BMW finally updated their website ("only" five days late). Surely, they must have a better way to update their online system.... Update: 03/07/2015 American soil!. Update: 03/10/2015 Vehicle delivered!. . . . Previous Vehicles Original Post: 01/26/2015 I come from a 2012 BMW 335i 6AT and really enjoy it. It’s such a great DD with nice, low-end torque – very useable on the street. The 6AT, however, is VERY boring. This will stay until the M3 arrives.. . . . Garage Preparation Original Post: 01/26/2015 In the midst of awaiting my car’s arrival, I began prepping my garage. I’m not mechanic, but I do like to perform simple to moderate DIY’s. I still have a ways to go, but I just purchased a workbench (thanks to quiksi for helping me assemble and move it) and am currently painting. I also need to do something about the floor.... Update: 02/05/2015 I finally finished painting the garage this past weekend, minus some of the baseboards, which won't take but an hour or two. Painting the ceiling was a real PITA, but the 6' extension I bought was worth its weight in gold. Also, my car should be getting shipped very soon!

I'll be tracking you. You said you were week six, right? Wouldn't first week of Feb make you week five?
Sweet Stang, I had two 2013 SGM GT's... I miss them as well, sorry to hear about yours. Hope to see you around Tx one of these days.

Not this time. I don't yet have children, but this will be my baby hauler when my wife and I decide to move in that direction.

I finally took some pictures of the Escort Passport 9500ci and BAVSOUND Stage 1 system for HK. I was really surprised to see how tiny the control and display modules are on the 9500ci, so I decided to place some quarters next to the control module to give everyone a sense of scale.Based on the advice of others here, I decided to use 3M adhesive spray on the foam rings that mount between the BAVSOUND midrange speaker and car to avoid them moving and getting pinched during installation. It was a tad messy, but worth the effort, IMO. I can't wait to get my car and get these installed (9500ci = professional installation, BAVSOUND Stage 1 = DIY installation). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
