I'd love to have an E90 M3 sedan as a DD (or a B7 RS4).

But alas, I have to realize the truth of limited funds and the fact there are only so many hours in a day.

Enjoy the new ride!

My neighbor had one before he traded up to the M5. I love the torwue in those things. Congrats!

On a side note, what's with the orange peel in the paint on these cars?

Nice car, but in those two close-up pics, the orange peel looks horrible.

in all honesty I think it might have something to do with the camera, I have never noticed any orange peel on the car but in the pics it shows up very well. I even went back out and checked it out from different angles and light conditions and couldnt see any.

Same thought with the paint quality. wtf is the crazy orange peels?!?!?!

Btw I never really liked the rear of the sedan... looks too plain. Regardless, it's a great car.

BMWs as of late have really heavy orange peel from the factory. A rumor was that they spray on the clear thick so when they get the lease returns, the dealers have room to wet sand and polish the paint down so that the car looks good as/better than new making it easier to sell CPOs.

Nice ride dude, enjoy.

Love it! Fantastic looking and performing car.

Agree on the orange peel, though - it's definitely there.
