yup, ED discount makes the trip totally worth it. either you see it as car for cheaper or you get a trip "free".

i am also in north OC but i work in irvine. wish i could go to sema, end of yr is always busy for me.

if you see an aw e93 m3 driving like an idiot on 55/i5, that's likely me.

no, e90 m3 (sedan) are widely available here in the US too

Congrats! The current M3 is a really really awesome car. I'd have a new one in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

Congrats!! TBH, I would probably have picked the M3 too, primarily because of the manual transmission. I also already own an IS250, so an F would look very similar, possibly too similar.

Interesting that you chose erectile dysfunction to get a discount on your M3

Congrats on the car and the trip. If I were buying my dream car I would choose to do the same as well.

Congrats! New M3s aren't coming out for a couple of years, so I think it's still a good time to get the current gen, especially since it's N/A. Plus, it looks like they are giving great deals right now. I wasn't aware that you can get discounts through ED. If I were to get a BMW, I'd def. go that route.

Euro Delivery basically gave me a free trip to Europe with the money I saved buying the M3 through the program. I actually got the M3 cheaper than an ISF mainly because all the ISF's here are stickered for $64kish and are fully loaded. I got the M3 nicely equipped just without navigation as I did not want it.

Beautiful car.

I'd definitely go with the M3 over any of its competitors. M3 > the rest.
