Just took delivery. 2017 M3 with ZCP, MPE and M Elec Steering wheel. WOW!

BrooklynG87 · 03-17-2017, 09:40 AM

Hey hey fellas! Been meaning to post this for a few days now. Last week I took delivery of a 2017 Mineral Grey M3. My dealership in Brooklyn had one coming in so I was able to add some fun stuff like the M Performance Exhaust with Carbon Tips and the M Electronic Steering Wheel. This car looks, sounds, and drives amazing. Wow I am super impressed. Not too happy about the DCT but it was too far along production to change it to a 6 spd. I was already able to powdercoat the wheels gloss black and added 35% tint to the windows. I wasn't able to snap any pictures of the finished product. I'll do a full photoshoot once all the snow in NYC melts. Enjoy these for now!

Have never even seen or heard of the electronic steering wheel before. Pricey, but very cool. I need to do some research and see what it does. Certainly looks great.

It's super gimmicky and totally unnecessary but I've always wanted it. The mode with the shift lights is really cool. You set the RPM you want them to come on and they illuminate like a Formula One car's steering wheel!

IF you dont mind me asking, how much was it to PC all 4 wheels?

Halewafa · 03-17-2017, 10:02 AM

Congrats, looks great! Any plans on a CF diffuser? Really adds some aggression to the rear

The shop I use charges anywhere from $500 - $600 total depending on size of the wheel and what you want done. I paid the lower amount but I've also taken multiple cars to them.

Thank you! And I'm gonna pass on the CF Diffuser. I had it on my M4 because it came with the titanium tips. With the carbon fiber exhaust tips, I think it is a little too busy for my taste.

knightarmor · 03-17-2017, 10:27 AM

First off big props on powder coating those wheels, it is a must on a car that color!

I also recently took delivery of my 17 zcp with 19s and I love it. I'm fairly happy with the dct but my commute also has alot of traffic.

I have the standard zcp exhaust with black tips and fitted a rear diffuser for about ten minutes before I took it off. The car looks way too sleek with the oe rear.

Enjoy the drive!!

495evo · 03-17-2017, 10:59 AM

30k in options!!!

boss2k · 03-17-2017, 11:08 AM

94K on a M3 , hmm , u shud be driving a 'P' car

LukeM15 · 03-17-2017, 11:18 AM

Wow!!! Lots of options, I know the feeling OP car looks great. Now I do like the PC on the wheels been thinking about it but my car is BSM might be an overkill? Thoughts? Congrats again

shay2nak · 03-17-2017, 01:26 PM

Congrats! Did the price go up on the exhaust?

RobC2 · 03-17-2017, 01:48 PM

The car I drove at the Performance Center had that steering wheel. It was pretty cool, but I found it was pretty easy to hit the shift buttons on the steering wheel if I wasn't careful. Nice build!

Amazing car bro. The MG and SO combination is the best for my eye.

BTW, The Steering wheel colour indicator for the shift is almost identical with the M view in HUD. The advantage of this steering wheel is you can know exact Temp of your car.

just what i was thinking. crazy money for a m3

Outstanding car though !

Sedan_Clan · 03-17-2017, 06:56 PM

I liked your wheels better when they were silver, but nonetheless, congrats on the car.

JibSTir13 · 03-17-2017, 07:23 PM

Congrats on the car, and awesome color btw.

Curious to see how the black wheels look on the car, and the tint as well. Post some pics asap.

IK6SPEED · 03-17-2017, 07:26 PM

I need pics!!!! I have the same color car with ZCP and want pics of how MG looks with black ZCP wheels! Give us pictures OP :P

Yeah, all that stuff adds up! BMW is charging way too much for the Executive Package, and while I love my MPE and CF tips, $6k is a lot for that sound, not that I wouldn't get it because I love it. And the mirror caps are ridiculously expensive for what they do.

I probably would have done away with the mats, steering wheel, birds eye camera, and the CF caps, just to lower the price a little bit, but the OP's budget is probably more than mine, and, well, the car is stunning, so congrats!!!

KevinM · 03-17-2017, 08:42 PM

Congratulations and welcome!

paliknight · 03-17-2017, 09:37 PM

Congrats!!! Gorgeous car!! Agree on the pics needed of black wheels on the car!!

I really hope you didn't pay MSRP lol

BimmerFix · 03-17-2017, 09:58 PM

Congrats brother, very nice build. And don't listen to half these morons talking about options and build price. It's your money, spend it however the flying f you feel like.

I just freshened up my old 2015 M4 with a new 2017 $85k M4.

I can buy anything and I choose again the M4.
