Default Finally pulled the trigger!!

I had been wanting to get into an ISF or a E90 M3 for years. Finally decided it was time and made the purchase a couple of weeks ago. I found a 2012 Obsidian with 3500 miles in Towson, MD. The dual personality of F did it for me over an M3. I had the windows tinted the same day to VA legal.

Thanks to all the active posters on this forum, the information was invaluable in making a purchase.

Here is a picture after way too many hours detailing.

Sweet! Congrats on the F and welcome to CL! A first post with a post is pretty nice. lol

Definitely stock up on detailing supplies. Obsidian is a pain to keep clean, but as evident in your pic and the countless hours working on it, it's certainly worth it. Enjoy the F!

Welcome, that is the cleanest 2012 I've seen.

There's a huge ISF meet in Dover, DE on April 27 ... hopefully you can attend. There are quite a few ISF's leaving from Virginia, here's more info: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-dover-de.html

I will also add you to NEISF. There you can link up with fellow ISF's in the area. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...sf-thread.html
