Looks great. I've just taken a standard M3 in PX for my Z4M. More or less identical to the one posted above (19"s etc). Would need coilovers for me now I've been spoled by VX220s and the Z4. Thinking of selling it though as the Mrs thinks its too big. Very impressed at how it's handled 80k. Drives like a new car!

Cheers guys 
Yeah mate. Carbon black is the colour. It's very deceptive actually, as when the sun hits it you can see the blue specks in the metallic. Very cool colour, but a b*tch to keep clean!
Ahh, right
The SMG seems spot on so far. Like I say, coming to work of a morning I just pop it into Auto mode, setting 2/5. I don't need the paddles as I'm just waking up anyway! LOL.
If I'm out and about in it though, I'll put it in S4 or S5 mode (higher range in the revs) and get on with the paddles. The speed in which it can change gear is incredible and the fact it does it all without you taking your foot off the accelerator makes it a very clever device indeed.
WOW!
maybe a silly question but ... carbon black ? is it just a cool name for the colour of the car or is it some special version/pack :S
best looking m3 i've ever seen!
the exhaust are nice but are a bit too shiny for a black car. Titanium tips ftw

Id get the nice CSL type rear diffuser mate will look much better. Also thats a std front bumper with some floglight inserts (hamann I think) which in fairness look a bit odd.
Id lose them and add the CSL carbon splitters, or even better get a replica CSL bumper with CF splitters already included for around £500. Would really complete the CSL look.
How are you finding the SMG? I loved it but ultimately found myself wanting a manual again

you have to love the thump from the rear on a full throttle change in S6
I had BC Coilovers in mine mate. came in at under 700 quid with front camber adj mounts and uprated rear mounts. Found them really nice on the road and on track (if thats your thing).
Hard to get an M3 low at the back tho for some reason.

Nein. SMG has the same slight harshness as the F1 box. Not as bad as e-gear though.
DCT is so much smoother, and far better in auto mode.

smart, is it slower than the scoob?
Similar 0-60mph time, under 5seconds. Different power delivery, it's weird having it all on tap and no lag. I miss the noise of the Scoob, but the torque is immense in this thing, and it looks great and much more refined and polished, too. Nowhere near as "in your face". Saying that, the P1 and WR1 were amazing cars.
