New to the forum - M3 RWD Long range pickup on Monday.

[Greytop]

I'm new to the forum, so hello to all

Very much looking forward to the pickup of our new M3 RWD Long range on Monday.
Coming from a 2017 BMW F31 MSport diesel it's going to be quite a change, one we're looking forward to embracing.

Did wonder briefly about the incoming (2024) Highland model but the long range rear wheel drive attracted us more, especially with the current inventory pricing and attractive 0% finance on offer.

Thanks Shamone, yes we're really enjoying ours too.

What colour did you go for?

@Greytop and @Shamone , welcome to the forum! Having been here for a couple of years, I have found it a great source of information and advice.
A lot of the questions you might have, will have been answered previously so look at the 'sticky' topics and use the search function.
Enjoy your new cars!

It was toss up between white and blue, we went blue on the basis that our last car was white

should have gone for the highland. The biggest issue with that seems to be the indicators and that wouldn't have been a problem in your case

p.s. belated welcome to the forum

Thanks Jason71, LOL being a biker as well as a car driver I've managed to appreciate the importance of those little orange flashy things

I couldnt wait for Highland to get to the UK and theres no LR RWD so went for the 2023, I can decide what I want to do in 4 years and by then there will be much better cars to choose from (hopefully).

Yes, but there must have been some cancelled ordered/over supply because a few appeared as inventory vehicles for anyone to purchase.

Hey welcome. My advice (and just so that you can dispel all the comments from your naysayer friends and relatives) is to do two LONG trips to address/cure any range anxiety (which just isn't a thing in a Tesla). Oh and then you have to arrange to return home with 1% or less I've managed 2%, it was supposed to be 1% but the car cheated and did it with 2.
Depending on where you are, go to the other side of the country and then go down through France somewhere South. The superchargers are cheaper, the roads are far better and it's just a blast. After those you'll just shrug and not care at all about anything range wise thereafter.
Plus I enjoy reading about people's road trips to give me ideas for my next one.

I’m waiting in anticipation for my M3 LR RWD.
Gone for the Blue like poster above.

Company car, so waiting on ALD.

Our Fleet Manager said it may be a little while longer as he’s ordered 66 Tesla’s from them!
