i have one at our dealership right now! the dealership owner caught me drooling the other day. We have a nice white with CF top black interior... At first I couldnt tell it was an M.. but the huge xdrilled brakes and wheels and hood and fender vents give it a very subtle yet agressive stance.

NO test drives are being given. it is being sold with a "fair market adjustment" and mandatory anti-chip film for the front. which means a bunch over msrp.

absolutely wondrous car though.

Funny, I looked through the pictures earlier and was wondering about that too.

If you mean the lower door edge many cars have that.

If you mean the hood that's because the hood is spring loaded and must be able to go below normal height when being closed.

I don't see any other unusually big gaps.

I don't care for the interior (functional but fairly cheap looking and ugly) but I think the exterior is wonderful.

I saw one at the dealership the other day. It looks even more stunning in real life and so tempting.

But the car I saw has 71K sticker shock and it was without DSG!!

The beauty of building your own M3 to your liking, and not being locked into buying a dealer prepped full tilt optioned out car.. That should bring even a bigger smile to potential buyers face.
