Congrats on the new purchase!

 

Same here. More red than orange:

 

Awesome! I have to ask though, why not M3 with a family and all? Just for looks I suppose?

 

I actually debated, I was back and forth, but I have a 4-door Sonata as my daily so if I need the room, I'd just take that. I also like the coupe's looks slightly more

 

It just bugs me that there is an up-charge for the 2-door...

Why not dump that Sonata and drive this full time? With the previous M3 the gas mileage was so horrendous it made sense to keep it as a second car but these are quite a bit better.

(BTW not trying to start something, just really curious how people decide to drive around a 20k beige-mobile everyday while their 75k super-sports-coupe gathers dust in the garage, I know I couldn't do it)

 

A couple of reasons, I leased the Sonata so I'm bound by contract . Secondly, I don't want to drive the car is shitty weather (snow, salty roads,) RWD won't be fun on icy roads and lastly, when I go to work, I'd rather leave the Sonata in the employee parking lot at the airport (pilot) for 4 days instead of the M4

 

Nice color no matter what BMW calls it. Who else would name an color option on a car "lemon" as it was on my '07 328?

 

AH, that last one makes the most sense!

 

My uncle just picked up his 2014 M3.I have yet to drive it but he tells me it's a beast.

 

BMW blues are usually spot on, but for some reason this picture makes it look like its covered in painters tape. I am so torn on this color but when estoril blue exists its hard to get behind this one...
