m3 pix inside.

Although the official release date is March 8, 2008.
It's at most of the dealership and in the showroom.

My personal thoughts: looks okay, not great. The color they had was Interlago with some blueish color leather. The seats were awesome with lumbar but the color combo was a poor selection IMHO. i think Alpine white/fox red would have been the color of choice to make the car stand out.

But nonetheless, here are some pix.

oh my personal opinion was only on this color choice, not the car.
I would have to have one down the road, aw/fox red. :-)

I saw the ILB at Sterling yesterday, I guess its okayyy! not too thrilling sitting inside. I just didnt feel anything different from a regular e92..

I guess the magic will be when you start the engine and drive it, unfortunately that wasnt possible.

I've spec mine to about $66,440 out the door.

Base M3+ 6MT
metalic color
technology package
premium package
cold weather package
usb/ipod
upgrade 19" wheels
destination
TTL

with 14k down, about $978/mo for 60 mos

then I woke up from my dreams and realized that it had to wait until 09/10

Carbon Leather interior trim $0
Cold Weather Package $1,000
Premium Package $1,900

Moonroof $1,050

come t think of it, CF roof is a must ... considering How many times have I really use the sun/moonroof

and I missed the tach amber lights 2x

.... and all the other things that once made it a hooligan of the road
