Hi,
Does anyone know of know of a physical or cancelled order M3 available anywhere in stock?
I don't want a demo car, though. Must be delivery mileage, unregistered.
Thanks
Jack

Thanks for the heads up.

Gone for a factory build in the end.

Mineral Grey
Full SO leather (or maybe black. Thoughts?)
Jet black wheels
DCT
Carbon trim
HK
Sun protection glass
Service Inclusive

Don't need any more than that.

Currently got a 210k mike stbox E39 530d Touring ex-police car for smoking around in. It will replace that. E63 and GT3 stopping.

Not seen SO yet. Looks very red. Not very orange at all to me. Which is good. Grey and red always look good together.

Now just the wait for it to arrive.

The swatch in the dealer looked quite bright but when I put it inside the car it darkened down quite a bit.
Whatever it is, it'e a big detparture for me. Never had anything other than black leather in my cars.
Plus I think it will go really well with the grey.

HUD wasn't really something that interested me, to be honest. If it did the night vision thing then I may hve looked at it, but a grand for having the rev and speedo 6" higher wasn't doing it for me.

The only other option I ummed and arred over was the brake option. In the end I couldn't justify that either.

Anyway, happy with the spec now. I've been given a late Oct/early Nov guide for delivery. I've asked them to push it as much as they can.

First job when I get it is to get some PaintShield on the front and get the geo checked and raised to its maximum factory negative camber limits and get the toe checked and set. Actually looking forward to getting it up on the ramp and having a look at all that bespoke M suspension work. Quite an extensive list of changes. The Drive+ video of the chassis and suspension component changes is very interesting.
