Wow great upgrade.

If I'm not mistaken they are referred to as F80 fellas....F30 is the regular 328/335i variants ect.

I too was in the market for an E90 M3 because I wanted the naturally aspirated V8, it felt pretty slow during my test drives so you made a wise choice going with the new turbocharged one. Heard they are beasts! I used to drive a Juiceboxed 335i on meth so I know how fun those force fed bimmer 6's can be.

Congrats and that's an most excellent color combo.

Thanks man... I was looking for a white e90 with similar combo and they are impossible to find. Had been in the market for more then 4 months already. There were some black and blue ones but with high mileage. Then my wife says just get the new one and I was lucky enough to find one at the 1st dealer I went too just parked at the back dirty, I asked about it and was told just came in yesterday night. I was really surprised that I was lucky as I did not have to order and wait 6 - 8 weeks. I did the paper work on the weekend and waited for the car to be inspected and released to me on tuesday. It was just sort of a blessing actually...

That is great!!! I love it!! Still trying to figure out the car and driving it very carefully until I pass the 1200 break in miles. I have heard that things are little different after that as in launch control is enabled etc. I am sure you will enjoy it.
