Finally found the “right” M3

Finally found the “right” M3. Took me forever to find one with the options/ colors/ miles/ pricing I wanted. I found it up in MA. I went up and bought it Monday. They will be delivering it Friday. Can’t wait, I want to drive it a bit before the snow comes and I store it for the winter.

It is carbon black with cinnamon.

Here are a few shots I took, as it was getting dark. It looks better in the sun when you can see the bright navy metallic blue highlights. I will take better pics once it is delivered to me this weekend.

The car has:
Navigation
19 inch rims
6 disc cd changer
heated seats
Park distance control
xenon lights
headlight washers
Harmon Kardon sound system
rain sensing wipers
SMG.

I have AC schnitzer pedals and strut tower brace sitting in my garage waiting to go on. :)

It is a CPO, one owner, 2003 with only 19k miles on it. Perfect shape. It was a trade in on a M5. Clearly a weekend / nice weather car.

When I test-drove it I asked the salesman if I could do a launch control, he said sure. I accidentally did a launch in burn out mode!! Oooppss. Probably scared the poor salesman to death. Once I got the car back under control I turned to the salesman and said “guess I better buy it after that huh!?!?”.

I actually sold the Audi to buy the M :) It was a 2002 chipped with coilovers. Great car, but not an M3 ;)

That's perfect, almost exactly what I want except minus nav, 19", PDC, HK.
Dang I can't wait until the time is right. Enjoy it, and congrats!

CPO = Certified Pre -Owned

Basically, the dealer is reselling the car and they have checked it out and everything is running correctly. ( For example, if you bought it from a private party, it would not be CPO)

Also, I belive you get a 6yr/100k mile warranty

Congratz on the car - Cinn interior is gorgeous

Thanks everyone, the car was delivered today and it is awesome. I will post new pics soon.

flnsx - - good choice in colors :)

llm3 I see that you are in NY. I would love to see your car. I am taking my new M and meeting a new Porsche cab, Vette, WRX this Sunday for a cruise in CT. We are meeting on the NY CT border and heading to the Lime Rock race track. Nothing is going on there is it just a destination point. It is a nice ride up w/ sweet windy turns etc. I will PM you to see if you want to cruise up :)
