What lead you to chose a 4 door vs 2 door?
I like the color, good looking car!
There were a few reasons.
I think the M3 trumps the M4 in the looks department based on hip and rear styling.
With my old e92 coupe, taking my car to dinner was an exercise in poor seating arrangements.
Will be adding some kids to the family eventually.

Hey guys,
I've been lurking around the local scene forum and wanted to share a few photos of my new M3. Her name is Scarlett. First pic is best representation of actual color.

I'm in as soon as my car gets here... This wait is killing me, 12 days at port awaiting a vessel.

let me try and dig it up for you - the information is in the BMW engine papers that most people will never look at. Give me some time.
All technologies in the M3/4 are generic and not M specific, including the ones marketed as ///M. For example, your article highlights in bold font the twin wire arc sprayed cylinder liners - these were already used in M20 engines in 2011 for the F10 320i and is pretty much standard BMW by now. It was marketed as something special for the S55. It's not. Another one is the turbo dual mono scrolls - same tech as the N55. BMW never implemented the hybrid turbocharger that they patented in 2013 in the S55. The S55 was an updated N55 design.
I'm not saying that there aren't some things in the S55 that are better than other BMW cars (I suspect the rotating assembly in the S55 can handle more than the N55), but all in all, many things that will break on that car will be cheaper to fix than an e92 M3 because i bet you dollars to donuts the next 3/4 series cars will have everything the current M4 has because it's all generic. The e92 was unique. I've yet to see anything on the S55 that screams "i'm a unique M car".
I can certainly agree on all the points you made of pieces not called the engine
The e92 s65 is just a chopped version of the S85 from the m5. So i guess its not real unique either. We should probably stop or all the hairs will be split, hahaha

bahahahahah "like the lost love of a girlfriend who cheated on you" , love it. I will say there is something to be said about the fact that the e92 has a unique motor and that makes it much more expensive to fix. The newer M cars that share motors with other BMWs means more parts available, more likelihood of issues being worked out due to greater volume of cars to sample problems from, and lower hours to do repairs as processes become more standardized.
The lost love analogy seems to hit home with car guys.
Where did you get the impression that this gen M3 shares a motor with anything? I'd be curious to read that.

Wow, active little community here!
Well I would love to meet up with anyone from here. Delivery should be early to mid April.
@i_love_cars: I had a high revving NA e92 M3 in which the motor blew up and windowed the block. For the long term, i'll settle with a high-ish revving inline 6 with the turbos. I was lucky under warranty by 2 months so I didn't have to foot the $32K bill. You could say my love for high revving NA cars has died off like the lost love of a girlfriend who cheated on you.
Cheers!

Hello everyone!
I've posted in the introduction thread as well.
I'd like to invite everyone from the "local" area of the fox valley to join the Oshkosh BMW Group over at www.obmw.org.
Very similar to what youv'e got here in terms of forums and stuff but its more localized for the fox valley.
We will be holding our own events as well as joining other group events througout the state. Look forward to meeting some of you!
Thanks,
Nic
