Funny enough I passed a Brooklyn Grey M3 this morning out the back of Box Hill and Nelson. So much presence on the road.
Not me, got m4 instead of m3
Have drived just 60km. This is a dream car to me now, can go wild and can go quiet more like daily driving family car

I will be getting the ceramic coating and maybe PPF for the front. I will also be lowering and putting some spacers on when the M-Performance adjustable suspension finally come out. I had it on my F80 and loved the look/handling.

I know your feeling. Was in the same boat for all previous cars but always ending up modding a fair bit. At the end of the days, stock car may not satisfy everyone and I'm one of those I guess. As long as we're happy with how she looks

Saw an awesome video from Archie Hamilton, he has given his M4 a makeover. Looks absolutely amazing. I recon you would love it.

I guess for the adjustability. I had the m-performance HAS on my F80 M3. Will probably get it again for the warranty it provides with BMW.

@minister4

PPF = Paint Protection Film

The ceramic coating over the PPF prevents the Bird and Bat shit from damaging the PPF and paint, keeping the shine on the car. Have quotes between AUD $5-7k for whole car.

I have done some recon, there are a few companies who do it. Haven't made up my mind yet… I have a at least 2 months to do my recon. Expecting delivery End September / October

I bought from UK. Nothing available here, MSS or HR or KW. All the dealers told me to pay in full upfront for end of June delivery (even guaranteed about it) when I asked them back in May.
Their website now shown pre-order status still.

Glad I didn't fall into their trap.

Saw some of the cars in the US are also held up at port, waiting for camera and sound system part updates to be retrofitted at port.

anyone got Xdrive? will be interesting to see the difference. although i am quite happy with the RWD.

@The Dad any good place to do coating and PPF in sydney? i might go for a PPF for the front and coating as well. how long the coating will last? do we still wash the car as usual after the coating? TBH, i have never added the coating before.
