Wow that looks good!

not that i'm biased or anything towards red/orange with black/carbon accents as a color scheme or anything     buuuuuuuut yes, more of that. What you have there is, IMO, the only way to setup a sakhir orange car. 

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 picked it up Friday! 310 miles on and in one tank of gas Here's the pic:
 
 

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.

Fantastic! Great way to start the driving season

Very nice choice on the color. I'm not a huge fan of the new m3/m4's but this color definitely helps sway my opinion=) 

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 N20 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".

Once the weather is nice again, some Oshkosh locals do a weekly/bi-weekly at Mahoneys for food/drinks on Thursday nights. I'll let you know when we start those again - or search "Throttle Thursdays" on FB.

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. 

You'll probably be the first/only one on here.

This.
 
Please post pictures upon arrival.

Nice color choice=) 

I would venture to say that is not a bad thing to share some parts with other models, maintenance and performance modifications will cost less and be more available.

That's a good looking car!
