You may know, BMW FS does not allow customers to export vehicles with active loans, and with refinance rates so high, and the timing of it all, I made the very difficult decision to sell the car back to the dealer on the last day of 2023, just weeks before I moved abroad. I was truly devastated as I worked really hard for the car, and it was my first time ordering a car exactly as I wanted.

Anyway, shortly after arriving in Germany and getting settled, I made a decision to order another M3 - *exactly* the same as my 2023, but I did add ventilated seats LOL There is a dealership here who specializes in US Military sales and I got a great deal - 10% off MSRP and tax-free!

I ordered Feb 8 and just picked it up today! The salesman was able to take over a planned build and customize it for me. I am so, so grateful I was able to get back into this amazing machine! The only bummer is going through that break-in period once again, but at least I have the (unrestricted) Autobahn 3 minutes from my new house.

Anyway, here's my brand new, take 2, 2024 M3 Competition with xDrive!

Nice! Congrats! Thinking about driving mine over from the UK to do a proper Ring labor two since I was in break in mileage last time and had to go easy on my lap.

As requested…and they are 827M, but the colour is bronze rather than gold.

Anyone else find that their IOMG G8x looks and feels unique and special ... except when viewing this thread?

Nah man. Every IOMG is unique and special in its own way. We're all just like minded people with good taste

Looks much better than the black ones indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Mine looks unique and special, even when I'm looking at any thread here. The moonroof and body color roof and mirror caps help. I doesn't hurt that is a 6MT either.

Needs a bath, but still brightens up the gray vibes of Germany!

Looks amazing! You might see our Toronto Red G80 rolling around base. Putting in an order for an IOMG LCI as soon as the ordering guide comes out!

Super sharp! Love the interior color choice. Perhaps the best match for IOMG.
