Rossi:
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.

@ Mike
My sincere congrats! Car is most marvellous!!
I like the contrast blk/blue
Haha Rossi! I'm slowly, but surely improving my skills!
Thanks Italo!

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

I'm sure this is a problem none of us would mind having. buying so many cool and amazing cars that you don't have enough time to review all of them. I'd be happy to help test them

Hahaha.. I meant on your house. That's a pretty fancy place if that's carbon fibre as well.

Yes, we don't really have severe hail here. Makes nice sounds when it rains
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 it
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.

Thats a simple enough mod. they do look more modern, and the fact that they are led give you better visibility, well not you but those behind you
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
I'm afraid Mike is going to miss something else too: the Performance Pack I mentioned a couple of days ago has been finally confirmed.

jeje good point, the M3 is seriously the best small sports coupe out there. too bad i can't get one for myself right now, but time will tell a different story

I knew it!!!! Murphy's law
Well, I got a consolation prize this week
Your dealer gave you the consolation for ordering so many cars, I assume?

Are you hoping to have a different car for every day of the month?
He passed that already. Next goal is every day of the year and he's already damn close.
After that he's in for a tough time till 2012, the next leap year.
