Someone here should buy this. Black/black isn't a very adventuresome combo, but the car looks properly mean in this combo and it's more interesting than silver. And I have to say I've really grown to like the M3, it's just a nice all around car.

OK, you’re dragging me kicking and screaming into the 21st century. I just bought my first cell phone. I should be able to post a video of it running and driving over the weekend if the weather cooperates.

Nice looking car! Wonder what it’ll go for.

BTW, on your G80 hate - I saw one at the dealer in all black last week and it looked much better. The grill is still obnoxious but generally blends into the car when everything is black. I feel like I’ve already gotten used to it.

I saw a green one on the road the other day and...uh...I’m still processing the grill. Rest of the car looks fine but the F80 is legitimately nicer.

Someone said (I forget who) that the F80 M3 is the best performance bargain right now, and I agree. No reason to pay a BaT premium - there are dozens of 2017/2018s available. If we decide we need a second real family car (e.g., not an e36), it's near the top of the list.
