Lol. There's some of us here that notice every thread. I'd tend to think chicagofan00 is one of em (myself included).

Pretty much. I probably spend more time on here than I should.

Now that I have the car in hand I think a KO interior would work well with it. I'm still very satisfied with my combo and that I went for the safer bet.

Haha. Well in your defense, black interior and wheels and CF roof are vastly more complimentary, so good job.

Really considering this, and would be all over it if it had the DAPP -- this will be my one and only car, and I use adaptive cruise control on a daily basis, so not having it would be a huge bummer. IMO, it really should be standard on a $90k car at this point, but that's a separate discussion. I'm tempted to pick this up anyway just to get into an M3, ordering exactly what I want, and then trading it when the ordered one comes in (I'm currently number 4 on the waitlist, so I'm guessing I'm 4-5 months out if I get really lucky, but with the chip shortage, potential LCI, omicron, etc., I'm sure it could be close to a year if things don't go my way). That's risky, as I don't really want to take a $10k hit if used prices return to something resembling normalcy, but who knows, the market for these could get even crazier. Anyway, thanks for sharing it!

I would not buy a car with a moon roof and subjective color like this if I was planning to trade it in in 6 months. Maybe the dealer will just give you book value but I'd imagine this is the kind of spec that would need a certain buyer in the second hand market. It's not going to have broad appeal, definitely more niche, especially with the moon roof and general combo

It's the kind of spec you buy if YOU love it

Are you sure? If you're right then I am happy.

I've seen some Fiona red buckets so I thought they would to tartufo too now. I was bummed I couldn't get them on my IOMG. But if you still can't then I'm happy

You're right, and those were my thoughts as well. I'd be fine losing $5k, but I'm sure I could get burnt and lose $15-20k if things conspire in an unfavorable way for me (the LCI comes out before I get my ordered car, nobody wants this spec, the chip shortage eases up, etc.), which I really don't want to do for a few months of driving this. Ah, I'm dying to get into one of these -- can't believe the market is as insane as it is! It seems I'm lucky now to be number 4 on the waitlist at MSRP -- other dealers either seem to have lists that are extremely long (which mine now does too) or are charging above MSRP for allocations.

Totally agree, and it drives me nuts. Buckets with Tartufo would be incredible.

I am secretly fine with them not doing it since I have a black interior

Wrong roof and wrong wheels. If not for those two things, it would be sold.
