I was thinking the same thing! Great pics! Am I the only person incapable of taking decent pics of my car!

Also, funny to see that the car came from Sill-Terhar motors (at least at some point). That dealership belongs to my ex father in law.

Chris, It's easier to take nice pictures when you use good equipment, especially a good lens. Taking good pics with an iPhone is a bit more difficult but it can be done. Here's one I took with my iPhone:

Steve, you going to put the vantage badge on the boot? I'm still debating, but I did buy one.

Great acquisition. Aston ownership is like a secret club. It's the most sophisticated marque and many do not really appreciate them for what they are.
I'm surprised you had trouble with Intercity. I use them all the time and they are top notch.
Great photos by the way.

Yes, the wheel fitment does like perfect in those pics. Would love to see a full on side view to see if it doesn't look too lowered.

Great color choice! I'm down in Houston.

Thanks and thanks!

I've already spent a ton of time here, but I'm sure it's just the beginning! Thanks.

Don't worry about power, it's so cheap and easy to unlock gobs of power on these cars with minor bolt ons and tune. You made the right choice going to Aston!
That comment means a lot coming from the master of perfect offsets himself!

Thank you! I intend to keep the M3 for a while longer, as I've had the car so long it feels like part of the family. Such a great all-around car in its own right.

Thanks! I think it was originally sold by Sill-Terhar, but I would need to check.

Dude, the wait is worth every second once you finally get the right car. Believe me.

I think so, but I'll be paranoid about making sure I get the exact factory placement. I'm sure I'll try it out at some point.

I think it's the perfect blend of exotic, but not 'in-your-face' exotic. It turns heads, but it also sort of blends in. The joy I've found in the car is not the glued to your seat thrust, but in the smell of the leather, the throw of the shifter, and the growl of the exhaust. It's truly a driver's car. Maybe not a race car, but definitely a driver's car.

Yes, when the cover came off it was simply stunning.

19x9 front and 19x11 rear
255/35-19 and 305/30-19

Thanks, I'll see about taking a profile picture.

Steve, in the vantage badge thread you started, an owner with factory badging listed the measurements for boot badge placement.
