KUDOS to Nate and crew at IND......

I just had to put up a quick post to say thanks, and send a shout out to Nate at IND.

I ordered the Vorsteiner Polyurethane front splitter as part of the group buy when it was first introduced. Also availed of the front reflectors deal.

I was a little worried, as:

1.) I don't even have my car yet
2.) I ordered it in Azurite black, which isn't exactly a common e9x M3 colour.

Nate and his boys came through BIG TIME.

The splitter and reflectors arrived today. Their work, in a word, is PERFECT. Packaging was great, so no worries about damage, and the surface of the paint is flawless (actually, maybe TOO good - we'll see what kind of orange peel my soon-to-be-arriving car has, LOL).

Now, all I need is a CAR...... sigh......

At least I know exactly what Azurite looks like, now (Looks similar to Carbon black - more flake, and richer, darker blue - I LOVE it)


Nate - THANKS. I'll be talking to you again, most definitely!

The splitter just arrived yesterday.

I have to take the afternoon off today, to get an MRI scan done on my knee, so will try for pics tomorrow!


Cheers.

Thanks for the kind words Allan! M3post has been really good to us and we like to take care of the members. I can't wait to see photos of your M3 when it comes in.

Kudos to Nate & IND - UPDATE: Azurite black pics

Well, I am clearly not a professional photographer

As promised, here are a few pics of the Vorsteiner polyurethane front splitter.

I am quite certain there are many who will lambast me for choosing this colour, as it is too "similar" to Jerez.....

I chose the colour, for a couple different reasons - first, I wanted the piano black interior trim, which you cannot order alone, but must obtain through the BMW Individual program, so the option for other colours came by default. Secondly, I kinda like the idea of my M3 being exactly that - Individual. I haven't seen an M3 in Azurite yet... (no surprise - it's the same as f-ing Jerez, LOL). And finally, I wished to order extended leather, so by the time I added up the cost, the "upgrade", if you wish to call it that, didn't actually cost all that much.

Ah well - suffice it to say, I love the colour, and as they say in Ireland "F*** the begrudgers...." LOL.

As I had said, Azurite has more pronounced metal flake than Jerez, or Carbon black. The blue is richer, and overall, the colour is "deeper".

Floats my boat, anyway, haha.

Now, I just need an M3 on which to PUT these..... this wait is killing me. My car doesn't go into production until February

Thanks!! Yes, car will be Azurite. I still don't get why BMW doesn't offer its Individual program to its largest market (USA). Maybe they just couldn't keep up with the demand, if they had to switch out colours, trims, etc. so frequently?
At any rate, I'm glad I was able to get Azurite. Car won't be here until at least April, and I have sold my e46 M3, so am stuck driving a 1990 Toyota Celica All Trac (granted, it is a pristine one, with 45,000 miles on it, but it ain't no M3, LOL).

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Azurite was one of the best looking colors I have ever seen in person. I can't wait to see photos of your M3.

LOL - believe ME, I can't wait, either, because pics of my car would entail my car actually BEING here......

Thanks again, Nate.....


I believe we will be talking again, sooner rather than later, haha.


Cheers, man. You guys are first rate - and I'm one of the choosiest guys around.
