It has that fun factor but that is about as far as it goes for me. After what I classify working hard, here I am today living the dream I've always imagined. God and family, and a pretty darn nice car in my garage. As a child my crush car was always a BMW, more specifically the M3.

Anyhow, enough gushing. I really, really, want to purchase an F80 M3.

My perfect build would be mineral white metallic with the sakhir orange/black extended merino leather (don't care about having all leather), lighting package, adaptive M suspension, and M Carbon ceramic brakes. I don't care much more about all the other "tech" packages.

My methodology behind the car build has changed quite a few times as I ponder this idea. I actually started out with a more basic car. Initially I was thinking about leasing since it's a "new" model. I've been on countless forums and my thought process is to actually order the car the way I want it.

So, I'm super excited to own this dream machine. What are your thoughts behind my methodology?

Thoughts? Opinions?

Thanks

It is different now. Like riding, not driving.
I tested 2 new 2016 M3 and M4. I am not impressed. You will get speed, nothing more. Maybe it is enough for you, not for me.
