That color is amazing! Congratulations

What color is that? Looks amazing!

Thanks! It's Brooklyn Gray and it looks way better in person as pictures don't do it justice.

That color will look great! I was on the fence on that one as well, but came from a car similar in color and wanted something different.

Took delivery of my San marino blue M3, 825 M was on Pirelli Pzero. I cross posted more pictures in a separate thread in the photos section- more over there.

Since you are all my "week 41" M3 brothers, I had to post here as well! Good luck to everyone, hope we can all ride together soon!

Congrats buddy!! Awesome combo and will turn heads. Glad to be a part of week 41 friends. Hoping for those that don't have theirs yet get very soon!

Finally got it! Bedding down tonight. Gonna grab some food and mess with the tech settings. Coming from a car with ZERO tech, this is a big adjustment.

Edit: Don't ask me how to fix the sideways pic lol sorry

I agree. Was pleasantly surprised how good it looked in person.

Congrats! 6MT FTMFW

Mine is still showing at the port but SM told me it was released to the trucking company and should be at the dealership sometime next week.

Wish I had your wrap time slot lol. Have to wait until Mid December unless he can get mine in earlier.

JosipZ · 11-28-2021, 11:51 AM

Mine was a October 5 build ordered August 10th. I took delivery yesterday at BMW Seattle. Amazed how good the car is. I was worried about the transmission not being a dual clutch. That was put to rest immediately that gearbox is every bit as good as most dual clutch I have owned or tried.

Rosco P · 11-28-2021, 12:03 PM

Congrats!

Still waiting for it to get to NC from Brunswick. Damn luck of the draw kind of stuff. Any day now!

Haha, yeah that would've been a perfect timing.
Dropped off my car this afternoon at the shop. Can't wait to get it back so I could actually drive it!

Congrats! Love the color!
Yup it's a huge jump in terms of tech compared to the iD6.
Lots of settings to mess with.

Congrats! I did all of my tech adjustments today. Car has way more options than I thought.

I'm sure Mike will do a great job. Mine will be there in 2 weeks.

Grrreat looking car! (I'm kinda partial, as you'll see in a couple weeks). Yes, the technology can be overwhelming, but taken in bite-sized snippets, it's digestible. You'll figure out soon enough which features/settings you like and which ones you can ignore -- not unlike a smartphone. Better yet, ignore it all and enjoy the DRIVING!!!

Thanks all! Unfortunately for me it's back to waiting

. Just dropped it off at the Long Beach port awaiting a RoRo run out to Hawaii. I guess the luck on the front end (no stop sales and good timing) is catching up to me on the back end. I just missed the last boat out that left today and the next one doesn't leave until the 11th. Good thing it's only 4 days sailing time... should make for a nice Christmas arrival (even though I already own it lol)

Picked up the car an hour ago, absolutely loving it!!

Will post some more pictures later
