Monday field trip

yamazaho · 03-25-2008, 02:42 AM

We had such a nice weather down here in New Orleans on Monday morning, it was sunny, light breeze and 15 degrees Celsius outside. Yet I had to study my board exam at home.

Anywayz, I got bored eventually and decided to go for a drive. Then all of a sudden, I decided to pay a visit to Peake BMW (where I got my E90 from), which is about 20 minutes away from my house. And to my surprise, there is barely anybody there. So I took my time checking out the M3s and the rest of the cars there. Just want to share my excitement seeing them M3s.

The coupe in Melbourne Red Metallic.

To my surprise, there is no CF roof on this one....

I don't really think there's any intention of markups here.... The price is still negotiable according to the dealers.

M3 sedan in Silverstone II Metallic.

After seeing the rear end of the sedan in person, I fell in love with it totally.

CF leather....

The new car smell of a NEW M3 is incredible!!!!

I am kinda disappointed not seeing 135i but a 128i.

Of course, the 335i. There is a special price on this one, I didn't ask how much though....

Ahhhh, the M5....

Outside.

E92, 328i....

The only E93 at the dealer....

On my way back, I dropped by the Lexus dealer to schedule a 30,000 maintenance for my parent's car.

I walked through the showroom hoping to see the one car that I really want to see, no luck.

But just as I was ready to go, something caught my eyes on the side lot. Can you guys see it!?!?!?

Haha the IS-F.....

The Brembo.....

Can't really see $hit I know, too much reflections....

The LS600h.

Before I pulled into the garage, I decided to take a few shots before my car got all dirty again.....

Well I think that was definitely 2 hours well spent.....

Thanks bro. I did fairly well on Step 1 (>90th percentile) so Step 2 should not be too bad for me

it's relatively better than the LS460(L) which has less hp (380hp vs 438hp) and is less fuel efficient.

Makes sense. The car weighs a ton...ok, 2.5 tons! And competes with V12s. And has AWD. What do you expect? 40mpg?

EHDEN · 03-25-2008, 01:33 PM

what color are the seats in the CF Leather? are the seats CF leather also???? I havn't seen an M3 yet in person. No M3 badge on the headrests? awww...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the coupe has the Bamboo Beige Extended Novillo interior and the sedan has the Fox Red Extended Novillo interior. The CF leather is only for the trim.

Man I really have the say that fox red interior looks freaking sweet....
