THe color really shines during the day in the sun. It looks very similar to the old Carbon Black that turned blue in the sun.

We noticed that there was a large concentration of people from Arabic countries and some of the signs around Europe are also in Arabic. It was an interesting observation.

Congratulations. Nice ED writeup. Memories to last a lifetime for sure.


Btw... the Stelvio Pass doesn't open up until late May/early June. I believe its still closed right now. Usually from mid June its a safe bet - the Stelvio Pass is open.

Well, I am fairly certain we all know why she's your fiancee (see pictures of crazy hotel with Lambos, new M5, business class tix, etc)! J/k. Great slideshow.

Perhaps next time pic say, 30 pictures and narrate each rather than putting 150!

Thanks for posting.

.......as I am drooling over your car in your signature......

Thanks.

I feel bad for the guy, but I know for sure that BMW NA will make it right for him and he will be getting VIP treatments along with free M school and events.

I will never buy another car out of a dealership in the US. ED for life.

Thank you sir. Already planning another one if my better half gets convinced to ditch her car.

It only caught my attention because I have never seen this color on a M3 before. It looked cool, but little did I know.

Impossible to describe how great this experience was in 30 pics and I believe the thread has about 560.

Very quick. Uploaded all of them to image shack, added them to an album and got a number of all the forum upload links in one file.

I can definitely appreciate the ability to have an experience like this. Many people we talked to in Europe claimed that it's a luxury to have any M car to a lot of Europeans, even with BMW employee pricing will never be able to own one. On the other hand, they dont work as hard and as much as we do and actually get to enjoy their lives, families and friends.

Btw... the Stelvio Pass doesn't open up until late May/early June. I believe its still closed right now. Usually from mid June its a safe bet - the Stelvio Pass is open.
I was bummed out about that, but there is always the next time. Good to know. Thank you
