thanks everyone I know I am not going to be sleeping tonight at all. And if it wasn't so expensive to mod the car I would do lots of work this summer but only plans so far are ssk, color matched reflectors, blacked out grill, and maybe a bbk and wheels if i can save enough.

I am just dying for tomorrow to come.

For a couple nice inexpensive mods for your 6MT run a search on 'Clutch Stop' and 'CDV delete'. I have the clutch stop mod (you don't need an elevator bolt as they are hard to find, a carriage bolt and a Dremel are all you need. PM me if you need some guidance). As soon as my warranty expires the CDV is going. It'll run you under $5 for both. I'm very happy with the clutch stop mod and a lot of members rave about the CDV delete mod. They'll make your 6MT much more enjoyable.

another good idea :

I did it in about 3.5 - 4 hours and while it was a PITA, it was well worth it.

I would actually say that they will be fairly similar. of course the M will pull you back a little harder.

congrats!

Bought it about a week and a half ago from a Scottsdale lotus and after a few days wait it arrives mid-day tomorrow. Waiting for the car to get here on the flatbed was one of the most annoying things ever.

Anyways this is my 4th car. started with a
2002 audi a4 sold that to buy an 06 acura tsx, then kept the tsx and bought an 07 s2000 and traded that in towards the m3. So currently I have the acura for winter and bad weather days and tomorrow I will have this M3 for nice days.

Don't mind the rambling just really excited to finally get the car. This is the only picture I have so far from the dealer. Will take new pictures tomorrow when I receive her


Hey great buy ! I love the color too.. Well done on a great purchase and I hope you gain immense satisfaction. Cheers
