My New F80

HPTBM3 · 04-10-2019, 07:38 PM

Just bought my first M3 this past Saturday, this has been a dream car of mine. Finally pulled the trigger and have been grinning ever since.

After searching for a few months, I found the color I wanted which was Tanzanite Blue, I knew I wanted an LCI version with the competition package, Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and all the safety nannies. I found the car out of state, did my due diligence and purchased the car which was about 500 miles away. After picking up the car on Saturday, I drove from Nashville to Raleigh NC and of course I had to detour to one of the greatest roads in the East Coast. The Tail of the Dragon, an amazing road definitely recommend that road to all near Tenn. / NC. So I bought an amazing handling car and had the opportunity on my first day of ownership to drive an amazing challenging road, heaven right here in earth!

Happiest man in the world! I go outside just to look at her everyday, I can't stop staring at this beautiful car. I'm sure others share these feelings regarding their cars. I'm proud to be in the M3 F80 club.

A few pictures taken from my phone.

KW H.A.S. Kit. It's aggressive but I love the way it looks.

Depends...if I drive a "normal" car about 12 hours from me. In my F83, maybe 7?

Msane · 04-11-2019, 12:24 PM

Congrats on the purchase!

I just did the tail in my M last week and it was definitely a drive to remember.
Try going on blue ridge parkway those views are even better, plus take all the backroads id you can.
