Not bought at the same time but not far off.

The SRB 440i GC is mine and the other half has the X3M40i

You should be thinking, fuck the colour, I've made it in life, now go and buy trackday car and go nuts time to time, make sure it's light colour. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Congratulations! For me, my future wife is going to have the SUV probably and I'll have the sports car/sports sedan or coupe. Why not just have two Lambo's? :rofl:

Ceramic Coating makes cleaning a breeze

No but congrats on the pair, they look stunning... but I could never keep up with the paint Maintenance

Get them ceramic coated ASAP, it will really help your process on that black paint.

Got my coating in December right when I took ownership of my M34.0. Has been a breeze to take care of. Do a microfiber wash, hands free rinse and wipe down with new microfiber and its pristine in 1/2 hour. In winter, spent the 40 bucks but in good weather prefer DIYS and enjoy exercise and turns out better without me worrying they'll put swirls in the paint.

Congratulations, forza. Finding that my BSM isn't much different in detailing as my wife's PB to be honest, so enjoy in good health!

We love all colors as long as it's black. Wife's X7 and my X5. Both Black Sapphire. Takes a lot of work to keep them both clean but there is simply nothing sweeter than a clean black car. Congrats and enjoy your new X3MC and M340. Both amazing cars.

We did something very similar. There is something about having two cars in the same colour parked on the drive. Your collection looks awesome, some serious motors there!

Congrats OP!!!

We also picked up a double a while back. X2 and M3. Our local dealer is smallish and has just 2 collection bags so, yup that was all us!!

Home on the drive. Mrs didn't know a thing about either till the morning of pick up.
