2022 M3 xdrive Toronto Red
Picked it up yesterday. Really happy with the color choice. There were about 10 cars in the delivery bay. 5 were BG and the others were mostly shades of grey. At least 5 other customers and even other SAs came over to check out the car while the others didn't get much attention.
Did my first launch control on way home. I don't have a timer but it is definitely faster than my wifes X3MC and my old Stevio Quad. Noticed the engine doesn't really start pulling until 3,000 which again is fine by me because I'm always driving in the most aggressive settings. Doubt I will ever drive in comfort and definitely never in Effecient. Lost the tire lottery. Got the tint guy to come to my house at 7am today for 35% all around. That was really easy. Black vinyl on the front reflectors. Putting on the VSC 2 valve controller as soon as car cools off enough. Still learning the car but love it so far. This isn't a criticism because I am really easy to please with cars, until I get bored, but the steering in my Alfa felt more direct. The M is great. Just a different feel. |

Looks awesome! Black interior? When did you place your order? I think TR looks so good on these cars

Congratulations! Have you tried RWD mode? I’m more interested in RWD mode with the 10 stage traction control if you got that package. Great car!

Looks sick, I nearly got a TR as well. Curious why you vinyl wrapped reflectors instead of paint matching them.

TR is such a great color. An X3M typically isn't going to stand out on the streets because it's just another SUV but I get a lot of 2nd looks because of the color. It's one of those colors that looks better in person as photos don't show how it pops.

Great color. Nice to read that you broke it in for what, 5 miles, before trying launch control. LOL

I ordered this colour without actually seeing it in the flesh and have yet to see one up close. People have said there is a slight orange undertone. People have also said that the Fiona red has a bit of orange to the colour as well. How dominant are these oranges? I wish I can see one up close but not a lot of people around here go for reds. I can tell you there are no shortage of white and black vehicles around here that's for sure.
