Mmmm... what color is that on your car? I am debating the Metallic Black or whatever dark silver color they offer! I don't know the particular name of it though but it looks slick. I have had 3 silver cars in a row though so I'm not particularly sure if I want another. lol Time to change it up. Metallic black with red interior = win!

if you wanna come take a trip to princeton, ill show you what my car is all about.

i was thinking of this earlier. im very biased towards MY particular car. for the price of the m3 you dont get much better. i have a ****load of mods that make my car significantly faster than stock and kinda take that for granted sometimes. modding an m3 can be rewarding, but its def not for the faint of heart. im an M guy at heart and always will be...with that said, you should go with whats going to make the most sense for you. if you want a quick car that you can mod more easily and have a car that is fast in a straight line after the mods, then by all means, go right ahead. the M3 is more about the overall package, akin to what a Porsche or a ferrari give you.
good luck with your choice man, im sure either way youll be happy as long as you go with you you desire and what feels right.

Mine is Space Gray. It's the lighter of the two grays. JMoney has the darker one-- Sparkling Graphite.

Here's another lit picture.

I wanted to do a black/red car but with the way I am detail-wise I could never own one.

Will you be at Summit next weekend? If so, I may slide down (less than an hour away for me) and check it out. What group is renting the track?

haha At the black/red combo.

That's the color scheme I'm shooting for. My dark silver car now is too easy to keep clean and makes me lazy. I think black/red would look extraordinarily sick and would make me have to keep it clean!

Anyone have any experience with the metallic black? Does it really look much different than the jet black? I'm contemplating.

saddle brown will be nice scott. i think once spring time comes, we will be trading in my moms 330ci vert and getting her a 335ci vert.

shes still upset that my dad didnt buy her this maserati we looked at a couple weeks ago...we got the sickest price on it but he chose not to get it.

oh yea, but shes prob gonna get the sapphire blue with saddle brown interior, saw it the other day, it looked great.

I'd go for the 335i and do some modding. The M is super cool but i don't think i'd get into a used car when you can get a new one

As for the waiting - Pretty sure you can pick one up at a stealership as long as you aren't in hopes of getting what you want! If you can find one that suits your fancy more power to you!

As for me, I know what I want and I would never be able to find it unless I special order it. The wait will be worth it. Now if only the sport package rims weren't so horrible looking!
exactly. no way in hell i will pick one up at dealership this time.
AW/CR with aluminum trim...loaded!!!

Haven't seen the saddle brown on black in person but it looks so damn nice in the pictures. I saw the brown with Modesto (???) blue. WOW!!!

Was it the GranSport Spyder that your family was looking at? Damn nice ride if it was.
