You know what, up close, meaning without seeing in a photo, that color is BBBEEEAUUUTIIFUULLL. I would get that color. It is like a royal Blue. If I had to get an E92, that would be the color choice. It is like AWESOMEM3's, he has some photos of his car, that is still an understatement of that color. I would guarantee you, as the sun would rise tomorrow, every neck on this face of the earth will turn once they see that car in that color rolling by.

Shit, beyond. Smooth, effortlessly, mystical. GOD, i can't describe it. THat is how great of a product BMW produced. I hope they don't read this thread, and go on jacking the price on the DCT>

WOrds can't describe it. You don't understand, I drove my uncle's SL55 for a month. THat car was a beast. THe E90 and E92 M3 are not in the rank of the SL55, but sure feels like it. In terms of power, balance, braking (), and handling ().

Preaching to the choir, my friend. I can't wait until mine gets here.

You may have posted this in the other thread, but was this your first test drive?

Yes, my first. I wanted Mantis to go with me, but he couldn't sneak out (he wasn't small enough for the hole that he made ). It was an abrupt thing, and I wanted to go to a dealer where there is enough wide roads, and not a whole lot of people (if you catch my drift). As soon as we rolled out of the parking, and the sales rep was driving (lady, but she was cool), I was like WHOOOOO, this thing. She pulls over, and I didn't want to get out of the passenger seat; it is like I was stuck. She got out, first, and she waited for me; I was still sitting in the passenger seat absorbing.

I tested the E90 M3, its a beast indeed.

i will test drive an E90 M3 in 6MT. Just because Mantis said to drive both the DCT and 6MT, and compare both. I told him, I am tired of driving manual, but then again, it is the M heritage.

hmmmm......

One thing I noticed about the interior of the E9x M3= quality. The leather was superb, soft, and smooth, and strong; it felt that very thick in certain places. intricate parts, such as the cup holder, were produced at a higher quality level; unlike the earlier models of the E9x. God, do I still love how the door shut; solid.

I'm not reading into this statement more than it plainly is and I don't want to be a killjoy so I'll make it quick. A long time ago poeple use to measure how well a car was built and manufactured by how solid the sounded and felt when shut. The more base sound you got out of it, the more impressed poeple were. Well GM got wind of this, as well as other auto manufacturers I'm sure, and began designing cars just to give the impression of a solid door shut completely nullifying the test and giving a false impression of high quality.

My point in sharing this... just don't let the feel of a door shutting completely win you over. Its designed to feel that way.

The M3 is surely an awesome car though. So I have little doubt your impression was in any way fabricated by simple manufacturing tricks.

You should test drive the SG, it's a little faster off the line than the IB.
