Which it'll get when they set it down and there's 3300lbs on those wheels instead of the -300 that's on them now.

I think he was kidding...

The car does seem to look best in white IMO, but I still dont like it, aesthetically.

For some reason... those exhaust manifolds don't look very efficient. But, considering it's an ///M car, I'm pretty sure they are!

That was a hot color combo on the E46 M3 for sure. My friend just ordered an E92 with that color combo as well. Im not so sure I like it quite as much on the E92 as the E46 though.
