:thumbs: nice one Dal. Drove the older shape and that was rapid so yours will be uber fun I'm guessing
Itchy for something new myself as I got beat in a straight line by 2 different lads at work. One in an S4 and the other in a 535 Msport diesel!!
Luckily I caught them easily once it come to a corner of any description. I just wind them up and say wow, you beat a 1.3 that couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding :lol: Makes me feel a little better.

TV in a car is just ridiculous. Other than that it's fabulous

Yes, the TV is utterly pointless, but the rest of it is as you say, fabulous.
Looking forward to showing it off at Trax! (Not had a car I'd wanted to take to a show since my original Puma - maybe the Focus but that got lost in a sea of 100s of them..)

Very nice motor is that, love the colour, Ive had a few experiences in these, driving and passenger and they are just awesome cars to be in, so much fun and the confidence they give you to chuck it about is brilliant, amazing noise the make as well when there abit more free breathing....
Im already planning on going to a BMW once im done with the Type R, E90 335i me thinks!

Album here as I've gone over my photobucket bandwith: http://s1006.photobucket.com/user/Dal_3d/slideshow/M3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Little update:
Updated the sat nav to 2014 maps the other day - always a squeeky bum moment!
Bought some new wheel M stickers that I've yet to fit as a couple are missing:
Got a random centre console that was a bit tatty - but only because I wanted the Bluetooth pairing button on it! Took the cup holders out, plugged it in, paired the phone then put the cup holders back lol
Got a new genuine badge for the back too as the original one is going a bit faded on the red bit:
And the DVLA finally got their fingers out their bum and sent me back my V5 with my registration on so that's fitted too:

Took the wheels off to clean them properly today and noticed the exhaust clamps are knackered - a common thing with them apparently:
Some Peugeot clamps are just the job apparently so I'll get them on order!
Touching up some alloy kerb rash on the NSF 19" so fitted an 18" for now - it looked tiny compared to the 19!
Brakes are rather large and an odd place to put a badge lol :
Had a little helper washing / cleaning / waxing the alloys.. think she's a keeper
Will be machine polishing and waxing the car tomorrow.

Cleaned it the weekend before (Farcala Detox, clayed) and polished it a week later with Menzerna Polish with a DA - Black hole polish after, topped up with Auto Glym HD wax.
New genuine M3 rear badge and alloys centre caps. I now realise the little M is on upside down so new ones on order (as the sticky won't work twice I'm guessing)
Decided to keep the OEM front grilles as you can see. The black ones just didn't do it for me.
Bought a 2nd hand engine cover and sprayed it with primer followed by Imola Red rattle can. It'll be coming off again shortly to lacquer it as I didn't have time before the show.
Night before Trax:
Simple little mod with an Imola Red engine cover:

On stand at Trax next to Dan's

You do have a knack at making your cars look excellent.
I think I washed my car in April.. maybe.
