    Just picked it up this week. White/black coupe.
    Absolutely stunned by it. Heard that people don't like the look of it, but it really is an attention grabber, which could be a negative sometimes.
    It's a real beast when you want it to be. the M mode transforms the car completely. lightning-fast throttle responses are great for back roads, but too quick for the city. the "comfort" suspension mode is way too stiff for most Mass. roads, but "sport" is great for the smooth bits. the engine loves to rev, and downshifting is rewarded by a beautiful 'barp'. reminds me of my other white V8. Steering is amazingly light at low speeds, but weights up nicely, and still has great feel, and is very precise and quick to respond. havent driven any previous M3's, but it is very nimble and agile. not sure why people say it's too heavy. the brakes bite well, but im hearing a little squealing at lower speeds. dealer says it should go away after a few medium-hard stops. the gearbox is a tad long and notchy, as most reviews have stated, and a little sensitive, but still a pleasure to use. the rear seat area is surprisingly roomy and cozy, but not somewhere i'd like to be for 3 hours+. headroom could be a problem, but i wouldnt know since i've spent all of 5 seconds back there.
    sorry about the organization of this post, just wanted to put some thoughts down.
    and the pictures aren't great, ill take some more soon.

    Thank you, everyone!

    Got a nice wash today, and was hoping to take some pictures, but didnt have the time.

    I'll get interior shots tomorrow.

    Very happy with the black. Was hoping for Fox red, but couldn't find a car available. Happy with my decision though.
