M235 --> M3

Hey guys!

Just picked up my brand spanking AW/B M3 LCI!

Came from a M235, and a Z4M coupe before that.

Good to be back in a real ///M!!!

Cheers Dave

Yep black and white looks sweet! Have seen a few F80s and F82s around Melb! Love the sound of the car too... it is a little different to the N55 and S54.

Just got the paint protection by FI in Melbourne with Full Metal Jacket... The beading is really great!

Nice, Final Inspection, the best place to take your pride and joy if you're in Melbourne. Definitely one of my stops when my car gets here.

The car feels like it is waterproof!

A little busy with work, but once it settles down will get the black M perf goodies and the CF spoiler +- front/rear diffuser!

Nice one Dave...
Should bring her out for the rest of us to drool over mate....

If you want carbon bits, try
1. Mars performance in Clayton
2. Eurodivision in Clayton
3. BMR or Advan Performance in Sydney

If you need someone to take it for a test drive, just PM me lol..

Probably coming up to the 2000km run in service next couple of weeks. Painful trying to keep it under 5.5k rpm!

Anyone know what the run in service involves?

Engine oil and filter.
Diff oil.
Unlock full engine power. It felt like driving a different car.
Also, enable launch control. I tried it a couple of times and it was scary! Chickened out and let go! Way different from LC in the M235i.

Cheers guys! More power!!! haha nice.

Never ended up using the LC on the m235 - didn't wanna hurt the transmission after reading that you had to let it cool down for some time before using it again lol.

Crazy how the M3/4 looks like the smaller car. It looks so much lower and makes the M2's features look overly large (headlights, grills ect). Still a great car though.

Yeah the 2er looks almost cartoonish in comparison! I saw a M2 in person a while back and the front bumper is very aggressive... almost vulgar! Not 100% sure I like it yet!

Anyway, just had the 2000km run in service. Was good to not be worried about over revving it!
