Goodbye G37S... Hello M3!
After 3 years my lease is finally up on my G. I turned her in yesterday. The lease inspection was easy. I got dinged for pretty bad curb rash on 2 wheels (only $120 total), but otherwise everything was good to go. Pretty fair honestly.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who contributes here. I got a lot of help on small DIY projects and even contributed one of my own (Fiberglass Subwoofer Box).
I picked up an M3 in Munich a couple months back and am very happy. The difference is huge, but with a 4 week overlap I got to drive the G as well and found that they both have their shining points. The G was and still is a great car.
Goodbye and thanks guys!
Here are a couple pics of the new M

I would highly recommend the Euro delivery. It was an amazing experience. The factory tour, pickup at the Welt, and going to the Nurburgring were all A+ experiences. I also was there during Oktoberfest which was fun as hell.
If you are a car person (and most people here are) and you are going to get a BMW I can't imagine why you would do it any other way.

Nope, it's a US spec car. You just get to pick it up and drive it over there for up to a month with free insurance and everything. Pretty unbelievable actually. I can't figure out why it's so much cheaper. I thought there would be a catch, but there just isn't... other than flying to Germany. Very smooth process. The wait for it to get here after you drop it off is pretty rough though (~7 weeks for me).

^ what is this trip I own BMW's and have never heard of it. Is the trip free? Or is that the "catch" do you end up spending the difference on the trip? Which is still a great deal I'm just very curious. If it was not free did you have to pay upfront? Do you pre pay for the car or pay once you take delivery when it finally reaches the states? Anyhow congrats on your car the M3's a beast! And you can't beat free maintenance !

I prob spent about $3K on my 2 week vacation so I suppose it kinda evens out, but I was going anyway for Oktoberfest so it worked out for me. You could always fly over there, take delivery and fly back and save yourself the money. I feel like you gotta go drive on the Autobahn though at the very least.
You don't prepay. It's just like buying a car here. You make payments. You can even lease. In fact if you lease it's an amazing deal because they base the residual on the US MSRP.

nice, but if it was me i would of got a white one, not a fan of red cars. I had a E46 M3 but sold it and got the G37s, and honestly i like the G much better in every way. The only thing i like about the M is it's much faster lol

I love the white too... but my brother already has a white one. Couldn't have identical cars!
