    Great looking car Mike! The black parts instead of chrome make it look very special. Great!

    BTW, great pics as well. Who took them, can't be you, eh?

     With all the cars he buys and posts up here for us it was just a matter of time untill he became a damn good car photographer. Smiley

     I'm beginning to feel that Mike's approach to buying cars is this:

    "Why did you buy that car?" -Mike: "Because it's there."

    Congrats!

    Looks great Mike. Will you get the facelifted car too?

    Is that a metal roof you've got there? Not much hail in SA I presume?

    Haha Rossi! I'm slowly, but surely improving my skills!

    Thanks Italo!

    LOL Tim

    Joe, the roof is carbon fibre. I think we get maybe around 10 hail storms per year. Don't see it very often. Nah, I don't think I will get the facelifted version.

    Thanks Shakal!

    Thanks Conny!

    Thank you pride, yes I will post a review as soon as it's run in. I still need to do one of the Vantage and Superleggera

    Here you can see what you're "missing" Mike, since the LCI M3 will get these rear lights as well. Not a big change is itSmiley

    But since they are the same size and shape as the previous rear lights you should be able to retro-fit if you feel the urge.

    LED taillights aren't important for drivers behind him, since I bet that cars which will be able to stay close behind M3, have very good Xenon, so they don't have problems with visibility Smiley

    LOL! You guy's crack me up I loved the torque on the engine and we sort of needed another beater anyways. The 135 draws far less attention than the other vehicles and it is still super fast
