It was dusk so the lighting isn't perfect, but here's some shots just after I got back to work with my car.

I've already put in my UGDO and applied my E46Fanatics sticker!

I'll try to take more tommorrow and update this post.

Something tells me it was more than just 'a little'. ;)

After a year, they're lucky you didn't take it from them at gunpoint! Thursday? What were they thinking?!

I bet you're still peeking in your garage to make sure it's not just a dillusion in there. heh

Again, congrats...

Looks awesome! How long do you think it'll take until you hit break-in? 2 days? :p :thumb:

Thanks Rip!!! (and he's my "friend?) Gonna place the order Sat morning. First the salesman is busy delivering the E65 now he's off the next few days.
Shees!

Well Ed, is it worth the wait?

Absolutely! It's like a completely different animal. My 325 was a car. This is a MACHINE. I remember the feeling of getting in my e36 M3 and it was the same. Only this bad boy has some serious power. It's a wonder the diff doesn't go flying off the car with the torque this thing has.

It sounds simply amazing. I don't even want to listen to the radio.

i hate you imola. hehe... just kidding. congrats!!

one day i will go up the bmw food chain and get myself an M.
and do NOT de-badge. I would be way too proud to have an M in the back. bmw should make jeans with an M badge on the right butt cheek....:lmao:

You could always retrofit the badge onto your existing jeans!

Beautiful car and a nice color choice. Expect to get tickets just standing still with "give me a ticket red" and an M3.:thumb:

Outstanding! I like the Imola red even more than the bright red (which is also very hot!) :thumb:

Sweet. How do you park it in a public parking lot and walk away? I’m too obsessive with my car so I would drive myself crazy with a ride like that.

disguisting. U should hand it over to me. i am doing u a favor by presenting this opp. to you.

Imola red is nice color-really grows on u. It's not like the red they have. totally different.
