Black roof is standard but you can get a body-colored roof but you lose the black mirrors ect. Awesome video thanks to Max and Max !

[@Angel-yv2lz]

It’s “etc”

[@matthisalbert]

When you order one at the dealership you can just ask to not have the black roof but keep the mirrors. They are kinda flexible with this kinda stuff

[@jimmynickelz]

As the proud owner of an E91 wagon, this makes me smile from ear to ear. This is such a saweet vehicle

[@roorider]

Awesome! Love that BMW have the buttons to use the displays rather than just being a touch screen

[@SergeiFedorov77]

Agreed, touch screen is an overrated gimmick. You get better road safety using buttons and the Idrive-knob.

The dream car 👌🏽😍 No matter if it does 9 or 11sec 100 to 200.. it is quick enough 😅 If not, just think about it, that tuning potential! Just a stage 1 tune would make it so much faster 🙂

[@Stilo95]

Where are the electric car fans the brainwashed people, who argue that electrics are faster and that's enough for them? WHO CARES?? If it doesn't give you that sound, the feel and everything else what comes with a combustion engine, it belongs to the trash bin. Petrol all the way, let's go! ❤

[@No823yearsago8]

I have to agree with you so much like a Tesla model s plaid does 0-100 in 2 seconds but this car just don't have a soul. It's always awesome to have atleast some engine noises and vibration instead a dead silence car that cost alot, when you can literally buy a better car instead some Tesla model s plaid

[@kordaxmint533]

​@@soulsweeper1630 €132,000 in Germany. Not expensive? The 95th percentile of salaries in Germany is 120k euro gross, which is only 60k after taxes (without considering rent, food, etc.). After all the expenses (rent, kids, presents, food, clothes, fees, other goods), you'll be left with 40k net euro savings, haha. (95th percentile) You'll have to save for 3-4 years while the car price rises. 95th percentile means that only 5% make this salary or more in Germany. So only 5% can buy this car and still only theoretically as you need to make at least 80-90k net (not gross like German salaries) to buy it new.

[@razorwireclouds5708]

You're not alone, mate. Buttons, knobs and dials are the superior way to interact with your because you never really need to look at them and your muscle memory makes it easy. Furthermore, touch screens, capacitive buttons and any other glossy materials have no business being in a car cockpit. Not only are they disgusting fingerprint magnets, but they always catch the sun and blind you with glare. But anyway, amazing video as always, my G 💛

Ga zeker voor de touring. De m3 is al een monster. En vooral als je dan zoals Max de auto kan gebruiken voor ski vakantie 5 man in de auto en alsnog genoeg bagage ruimte om alles te dumpen. En blaast gewoon bijna 300 km over de weg. Zo dik dak koffer der op en dan ben ik helemaal verkocht ❤

Can't wait to get my pre-order in the same colour and similar specs but orange interior. Placed a deposit last April, months before it was announced. Australian deliveries are so delayed that it might arrive only in July or August this year.

[@jeffreythompson1328]

You ended up getting one in Aus? Who through? I am interested in one but bmw web doesnt have options to order yet.

[@wishdj]

​@@jeffreythompson1328 I put in a deposit in a nearby BMW dealer in Sydney area in April last year. This is the most sought-after BMW pre-order right now with just around 120 cars coming to Austraila for 2023 already all allocated for according to my dealer. If you put in a deposit now, expect it sometime next year.

[@jeffreythompson1328]

@@wishdj Did you have access to individual order options when you went to the dealer? How much did you end up getting it for? Apparent price tag is 177,000$ but I would say that is on the hopeful side of things

[@wishdj]

​@@jeffreythompson1328 The configurator is online in the build your own BMW section of BMW Australia website but with no prices mentioned. Choose 3 series Touring option and in the configuration, choose the M3 engine option. Unfortunately, without any add ons with taxes it comes close to A$200,000. If you add the carbon fibre package which include the bucket seats it's an additional $17,000. We get ripped off with car prices here in Australia.

[@jeffreythompson1328]

@@wishdj Tell me about it, whole bmw website for me has no prices mentioned which is an issue. But 200,000 for a m3 is really pushing it in Aus, at this point I might aswell catch it when it depreciates a little bit. Always an option of something second hand for that much, used m760li is around 160k. Vintage ferrari, porsche all around that price too

[@peterwagner3529]

After the intro you started the car and reved it into red just few seconds later, for the sound check. Doubt this was good for the turbos, which were for sure not at temp at that time. Maybe you want to consider that?

Looks brilliant, can you get it in rhd? Is it coming to the UK? I'm not sure about the black wheels tho.
