Bucket List Car #1 Checked - 17 years in the making (Oxford Green G80 M3 PCD Trip)

ChrisM4 · 02-14-2023, 12:30 PM

Great write up, beautiful spec, and the right transmission choice! Congratulations!

BTWCD · 02-14-2023, 12:30 PM

Heyyy a fellow boilermaker!
Congrats on the M3! I was around PMU/state st on Sunday you must have sneaked in!

Also envying your individual order and PCD… I decided to sit with a spec matching 98% of my choices as it is a half-way dealer stock.

spuntyb · 02-14-2023, 12:35 PM

Looks great, enjoy!

cncmastr · 02-14-2023, 12:36 PM

Congrats! It’s an awesome experience to delay gratification for so long.

No way! I should have drove around a bit more

I parked at the union garage and just walked around... checking out the renovated union basement and then walking up and down Chauncey hill.

Heyyyyyyyyooooo haven't heard from you in a minute. Glad to see you're still around!

Game · 02-14-2023, 01:06 PM

Congrats! Beautiful spec.

Was thinking about doing the same thing for my upcoming M2 but am somewhat hesitant to put the 750 miles on the car

Yeah... I've been dealing with a health issue, plus my car's already in my garage so there's less motivation to stalk her daily on MyGarage and/or shipping webcams. But I still stop by here once in a while. Glad you finally took delivery and made it home safely.

Three stellar items to note: the car, the write up, the reactions from this community.

Congratulations!

Totally get that. In my case I work from home, so if I didn't make the trip, getting to that 1,200 mile break-in would have taken an eternity.

PatientM · 02-14-2023, 01:19 PM

Absolutely stunning m3! Congrats my dude!

Mosaud1998 · 02-14-2023, 01:37 PM

Forgot to mention this, spin it by my dealership and let me take it for a spin huh

IB M · 02-14-2023, 01:42 PM

Dreams do come true or is that a cliche?

Congrats to you - piling on, hell yes on the 6MT!

Now about that white E46 - is your buddy looking to sell??

Ronan703 · 02-14-2023, 01:43 PM
