Hello World!

Finally made it to the second stage “Scheduled for Production” on BMW tracking site.

Guess it should be no surprise that I signed my finance papers last friday which in turn, finally got this thing to finally move past the first “On Order” state. My dealer said they can build 800 to 1000 cars a day, so I guess I shouldn’t worry if it doesn’t progress quickly in the next week or so. Either way, I’m excited about this!

More Monochrome M3 Carbon Fiber Goodness

Side Grills...what’s next? The trip is in about 2 weeks but it's still probably going to be 2 months before I get the car re-delivered back to the states...gah...

A few carbon fiber goodies for my M3


These past few months have gone by pretty fast (must be the crazy schedule we have at work lately) but the wait is still pretty unbearable. There's just a little over a month more to go, but thankfully I have in my possession a few cosmetic goodies to somewhat tie me over. These are all going to be pretty subtle mods, hardly noticeable to most, but all that matters is, I'll appreciate the nuances. Still planning on a few more small things between now and when I leave for Germany, but I can see this all beginning to come together.

In this pic:
  • 1x1 Black Carbon Fiber Front Kidneys (purchased from JL Motoring)
  • Full Carbon Fiber BMW Roundels for Hood, Trunk and Steering Wheel (purchased from Euro Body Kits)
  • Monochrome M3 Emblem (purchased from EAS)
To come:
  • Smoked Front Bumper Reflectors
  • Monochrome Side Gill M3 Emblems (not sure if I'm getting Matte Black or Carbon Fiber covers yet)
Considering over time:
  • Carbon Fiber Front Lip
  • Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser
  • Carbon Fiber Side Mirror Covers
  • Some Exhaust upgrade...not sure which one yet.
  • Short Shifter
  • And of course, when I wear through my first set of tires, something to replace the ugly OEM wheels. I've never liked them.
My guess is, it will be late September / early October before I'll be able to put any of the stuff I've already got on since it's going to take between 6-10 weeks to ship the car back from Germany, but at least this is pacifying some of my obsession for now.

One E90 and one E46. Both white. Both decked out in Carbon Fiber. Both have sweet wheels. I'm getting very very eager for August to come.

Tracking the M3. When will it go to the next step?

I love that the BMW website allows me to track the progress of my car being built. However, it's frustrating beyond belief to log in and see that it hasn't moved to the next step yet. Sure, it's still months away, but it sure would be nice to see it progress.

Awesome review of the M3. Make sure you get at least 2/3 through, hahahaha!

2009 M3 ordered for European Delivery in August


This is now on order with BMW. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through the next 5 months without thinking about this almost every single day.

Purchased Options:
  • Premium Package
  • Technology Package
  • Enhanced Premium Sound
  • iPod and USB Adapter
  • Smartphone Integration
*EDIT*
I recently saw some pics of Sycamore Anthracite Wood with Fox Red Extended. It did NOT look good. Thankfully, I still had time to swap it out. Going with Carbon Leather instead.

Pics of Ed's Dinan S2 E46 M3

Since Ed admittedly isn't tech-saavy enough, I'm posting these pictures for him. Sweet car. Too bad he had to sell it. I'm lovin' the HRE's.
