What an amazing experience this was. This is my 4th M3, and by far the most incredible in every way. I've had to wait for this almost as long as I've had to wait for anything in my life, and it definitely led to a great deal of anticipation and excitement. This forum has kept me sane through the whole process of choosing options, finding an allocation, making changes and then just waiting and waiting and waiting.
I'm still trying to digest the whole experience, and will post more thoughts on the driving dynamics after some time with the car.
I do have to say, San Marino blue is something else in the flesh, cameras truly cannot capture it. I also do need to get some more pics with a proper camera, but I hope these help give an idea of how dynamic this color is. I am completely thrilled with my selections. More to come soon.
PS, I did get Pirelli P zero's if anyone is curious.
