Looking good! Don't forget to give us some more pics once you pick it up and get driving.

Enjoy!

fedinand · 01-25-2011, 09:34 PM

Congrats! Oh man, that pic is such a tease

…real live sparkling bronze and you can't tell what it looks like yet

. We will anxiously be waiting for those pics taken during the day!

Nahoa · 01-25-2011, 09:52 PM

I ordered mine 10 days before you from (probably) the same dealer and haven't received my vehicle yet -- bummer!

Guessing they're re-jiggering predetermined build slots.

Congrats on your new car. I'll keep an eye out for you on the road. Haven't seen one in the area yet.

kmarei · 01-25-2011, 09:52 PM

will do
although it will probably be on thursday morning since i'm picking it up tomorrow around 5:30pm
just hope it doesn't snow

Rcluff · 01-26-2011, 02:06 AM

Contests. Really jealous!! Can't see pic yet prob need to find myself a LAN to connect. If you get chance for more pics that would be good. Does black seats look good?? Also give for that option and was worried as all discussions so far have suggested oyster/beige.

Marla17 · 01-26-2011, 02:33 AM

wow, I ordered a bronze 3.5 yesterday and was told it would be 60 days! Please post pictures! Did the price go up January 1?

sfax · 01-26-2011, 02:35 AM

Congrats. Love the teaser photo for those desperate for sparkling bronze pics!

Hope it's all OK. Enjoy

jijioben · 01-26-2011, 08:04 AM

Congrats! Look forward to pics

mike185 · 01-26-2011, 12:41 PM

congrats ! enjoy !

acove · 01-26-2011, 12:42 PM

Congrats! I got my call yesterday. I'm picking it up on Saturday. Can't wait!

Nahoa · 01-26-2011, 08:31 PM

Able to get your car home before the storm?

Lotus7 · 01-26-2011, 09:07 PM

kmarei,

Congrats on your new addition. Hope it was a painless birth. Since the "after dark" photo is the first "baby" pic you have, I ran it through Photoshop for a little (actually very little) enhancement:

i was on my way to the dealer, cheque in hand!
when the SA calls me, dealership was closing

have to wait till tomorrow
my commute normally takes 20-25min
it took me 7 hours
M3 in the snow/slush/ice not fun!
got stuck all the time
and ran out of gas, 2 feet from the gas pump

horrible commute
will go get it in the morning
hoping federal gov is closed tomorrow so i have the whole day to play with it

Nahoa · 01-27-2011, 12:20 AM

Your commute was worse than mine -- 6 hrs. Didn't run out of gas, but got the rental car stuck in the snow in the parking lot. Embarrassing. Over the 6 hrs I saw 2 snow plows. Toll road was blocked at Reston Parkway for at least two hours. Nothing in the traffic reports. Something went way wrong today.

Hope they're able to clean it up well enough over night and you get the day to check out the car tomorrow!

So, they told me production week of 24 January -- mine must be at the tail end of the week! Dang.

Rcluff · 01-28-2011, 01:02 PM

Did you get it and any pics? Would love to see and get your feedback!!

kmarei · 01-30-2011, 09:23 PM

sorry for the delay
i'm having issues with my dynDNS account
anyway here are the pics

please excuse how filthy my M3 is

it normally looks much nicer
we had a snow storm and it badly needs a wash

fedinand · 01-30-2011, 09:27 PM

Congrats…color looks good! I think folks who ordered sparkling bronze will rest a bit easier now

Nahoa · 01-30-2011, 09:33 PM

Looks good! Nice combo of vehicles you have there.
