Here is the deal I agreed upon today. I placed my order this morning and already received my production number.

MSPRP: $66,595
SELLING PRICE: $57,920
REBATE: $1500 (Holiday Cash)
TERM: 36 months
RATE: .00106 due to max MSDs
ACT FEE: $725
DOC FEE: $399

If I coundt the doc fee I am getting the M3 for $750 over invoice before the Holiday Cash. After Holiday cash I am paying around $750 below EU Invoice.

This was a long journey. The funny thing is I started looking at a 328i manual Sedan and worked my way up the BMW lineup because I could not find a car that fit all my needs. The 135is and 335is was close but the M3 is my dreamcar.

Here is what I am getting

2013 BMW M3 w/ 6spd Manual

300 Alpine White
4MY Carbon Leather interior Trim
NCH2 Fox Red Novillo Leather
Z19 Double Spoke (Style 219M) Satin Chrome finish M light alloy wheels
(18 x 8.5 front, 18 x 9.5 rear; 245/40 front and 265/40 rear performance tires)

223 Electronic Damping Control
494 Heated front seats
609 Navigation system
615 Online Information Services
620 Voice Command
639 BMW Assist
6FL iPod and USB adapter

I adjusted my order yesterday. I saw Fox Red for the 1st time earlier this week. It was too orange for my liking. It wasn't as close to Coral Red and pictures online was a bit misleading. Since I'm no longer doing red inside I decided to do red outside!

My new build is

A75 Melbourne Red Metallic
771 Titanium Shadow trim
GEAT Anthracite & Black Cloth/Leather
Z59 19" Light alloy Y-spoke wheels style 359M-with performance tires
(19 x 9 front, 19 x 10 rear; 245/35 front and 265/35 rear performance tires)

I decided not to pay extra for black leather. I do not like the way black leather feels in the summer (It BURNS!). It is a bit weird having cloth seats in a near 70K car. However, after seeing the interior in person I am actually impressed.

I also decided not to go with the Carbon Interior trim because I found: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...ction+Interior. It is more expensive but I really like the look.
