Congrats! I Know that dealer well, grew up in McAllen. When I was shopping for the m3, they were asking 5k ADM when majority of the places were at msrp lol.

Thank you! The door sill scuff plates pop out very easily. There are 4 push fit clips on the back. Just get a trim tool underneath and push or pull up one at a time.

Well, this time they were the opposite. At MSRP when my local dealer was asking $10k over. Didn’t even try to mark up the rate from BMWFS. Didn’t try to sell me any extras. The F&I guy very politely asked me if I wanted wheel and tire, almost embarrassingly like he knew I was going to say no, and he didn’t even mention the cost or coverage.

So no shenanigans, just a great buying experience.

Congrats Needsdecaf!! Enjoy in good health!

tsbrown · 12-11-2023, 07:42 PM

That is a seriously nice color combination. Bravo!

Sgtwifey · 12-11-2023, 08:03 PM

Beautiful and congrats! Those red calipers look sharp with the red exterior. 👌🏻Now i kind of wish i would have just ordered them with my X6 when I ordered it earlier this year! Was worried it would be too much red and didn’t want blue calipers. X6 is Aventurin Red with Silverstone, similar combo to yours.

kgelfen360 · 12-11-2023, 08:16 PM

Congrats man!! Finally arrived!! Great color combo!!

Where did u get the door sills ?

Thanks! I analyzed the heck out of it and asked for a bunch of pics. But it’s not too bad to have them painted, I’m sure you can find someone local to do it.

Oh you think thats bad? On the 24 G87, they took out the rear passenger climate control screen altogether and raised the price. I hear for 25 they're going to jab a stick in your eye, but its a "M Performance" branded stick at least.

What a beautiful car. Congratulations!

Orjan · 12-12-2023, 02:29 AM

Congrats! That is a perfect spec M3; love the color combo!

What a stunning colour! Congratulations and enjoy!

WilcoJunoHotel · 12-12-2023, 06:32 AM

Love the red. When I ordered my '24 M240i I wanted a red just like this but it wasn't available on the standard build sheet. I guess I could have ordered it special but I didn't go down that rabbit hole.

Beautiful car.

WilcoJunoHotel · 12-12-2023, 06:38 AM

So, was this intentional or subliminal (taking your brand new buck tooth grill to Bucky's)?

Chubbiejones · 12-12-2023, 08:58 AM

Looking good!

I'll let you decide.

Takumi587 · 12-12-2023, 09:55 AM

Congrats on the ///M. I’m actually saving up for a 911 and recently returned the Model 3 lease. I have had my eye on the new G80 M3. We don’t have kids yet so wondering what your thoughts are comparing the 911 with the M3. Thinking of renting both on Turo to compare.

A brand new, 992 911? Or something used? And what are you going to use it for?
