Thanks for all the insight, this helps me alot since I haven't ordered yet.

I'm ordering the sunroof too. I don't mind that it slides back into the car, but I assume it does tilt to simply let fresh air in, yes? And of course there's a shade to simply let light in, yes? Sucks about the calipers. Not sure what color I'm choosing yet for the calipers. And not even thinking about attaching a license plate. It will forever be in the trunk. I live in MD. I never had one on my M4 and never had one on my current E93, and I've never been stopped. (knocking on wood over here ) Quote:
Sucks about the wireless charger. I have an S10+ with a thin case on it, but it may not fit either...and I ain't pullin off my case every time I get in the car. Guess I'll have to use a wireless USB charger. Don't care about the cupholders. Vented seats have multiple settings for the fan? That's good to know. Does it at least work well, even though the fan is loud? Quote:
[quote]Dash - I ordered the executive package and the M drive professional. Both musts in my opinion. Im still playing with all of the buttons on the dash and the options. The interface takes a little getting used to and I immediately turned off the gesture control. Ive been told that all US M4's had Sirius xm radio left off by accident and will be getting a fix for it. [quote] Sad about the XM, they need to fix that quickly. I'm definitely getting the Exec package. Quote:

And no, I wanted to hear about all that other stuff too, since I haven't ordered mine yet. So thanks for sharing all the non-drive related stuff. Quote:

You've already been down to the Tail!!!???? I can't wait to get mine and go down. I'm actually doing the Back of the Tail this weekend with my driving club (Sunset Auto Club) Definitely getting a full frontal 3M protection, and also adding the rear quarters and the side skirts, and probably the trunk area too. This will be my first mod, completed within the first few weeks of ownership. |

Yes it tilts to just in air and can slide to have the glass visible. The standard sport seats for me, because I'm definitely taking long trips in this car. But they won't be black, likely going with full Silverstone. I love the Silverstone but suggestion for you. Check out the non-standard colors available for the M models. There are a ton more selections you can look at. Im thinking next car I might go with the red. Take a look the Silverstone is nice though. Vented seats have multiple settings for the fan? That's good to know. Does it at least work well, even though the fan is loud? They did work very well. Just loud on the high setting. Hmmm...what caused this fishtail? You gave it too much power in 1st gear and the transmission never shifted and the rear end broke loose? Yes. I hit the corner expecting it to go to 2nd and 3rd so I gave it gas and it shot like a bullet causing me to skitter across the road because it was still in 1st. It did fix itself quickly but it was me cleaning my pants after it calmed down. This car will scoot on the pedal. Were you able to fix the laser warning's constant trigger? It's probably the blind spot warning signal. I haven't been able to mess with it yet. But its brand new out of the box. I was told it might be the gesture control too. But I want to fix this. Those pesky Maryland and Virginia Troopers will target the hell out of these cars. |

First, I love those individual seats. Fjord Blue and that Ivory White look delish. How much are those? $5000? Or more? At $5k, I'd consider it.

I will be ordering from Passport as I've done since my 2003 e39 M5, the e60 M5, LRP M3, f82 M4, and f80 M3. They've treated me well. Will pick up in Spartanburg at the PDC.

nice. I took my car out towards WV this last weekend on some of the back roads. Ive never had a car with this much power so Im still getting my bearings. But driving around the beltway I get a lot of looks. Especially people in M2's they all do circles around it trying to get a look. lol its kind of funny.

Very nice on the color and options. I picked up a Manual M4 TB with the carbon seats. Let me know when you want to do some runs. I do lots of autocrosses on the weekends, but I'm also always down for some fun runs in the DMV area.

Looking to purchase a Manual M3 in the DC Metro Area. My usual dealer in Silver Spring has offered me a discount of $500, which seems a bit poor considering I'm probably going to be adding over $13k in options. Anyone seeing any decent discounts at all, if anything? I'd be happy with 1-2% at this point, but wondering if that's a pipe dream, and if I should just order while the finance rate is so low.

Cail4827, is the black interior fully black? The configurator makes it look like there is light grey accents.
Noted that you're not keen on the black inside BSM. I'm debating getting Fiona Red. I just wonder if it's TOO red, and it'll ruin any of the ambient light choices. I've had BSM over black my last 4 BMWs, so going Fiona Red interior would be pretty adventurous for me! |

I have zero grey on the seating area. I thought there would be some from the pics as well but I have zero.
Im already configuring my next car. lol. The all black is a solid option and I have seen videos where people are showing wear and tear from getting in and out of the car with the lighter colors. But I really like that Red Option. My Audi was a Black exterior with red interior and it was solid. Just make sure you get the calipers in a color that matches. The black is a safe option. But. IMO Its an M car - Go Bold..... |

Bulkychipmonk,
I didn't get much taken off. Early adaptors normally don't and I was ok with that. if you get one sitting on the lot they might be willing to deal but doing an order probably won't get much taken off the price. all my opinion and im not an expert. |

^^ That's funny, I just watched that last night. Only YT review I've seen with the black on red. I'm definitely sold, color combo looks sooooo sharp. I'm just going to have to condition the seats much more regularly than I have in the past; some folks have warned that the lighter colors show wear sooner than the black.

really got interested in the m3 in the last month or so but will wait for the AWD version. I don't think there is any pricing or allocations yet for the car. My dealer over in sterling said he could take a deposit as I would be the first to order one, once it is available. I think the awd will go for msrp but hoping i could get a little off.
