Thank you! It was the only way.. now or never with the manual going away more than likely soon.
I got a similar spec, although with black leather.
My one regret was not getting the carbon ceramic brakes, as those wheels are the biggest PITA to clean of any car I've ever had!
Congrats on your new ride :)
Ponying up $9000 for carbon brakes turns into wondering why they're embarrassingly loud turns into wait, what the hell do you mean a routine brake job on this thing is $19,000?

There's no such thing as a routine brake job with carbon ceramics. If you don't track the car the vast majority of people will never need them replaced.
When not tracked, for various reasons by way of down in Mexico, a not insignificant percentage of owner operators are known to wear their carbon brakes down then, shit when they get the service bill.
Everyone else, ponied up $9000 for a track specific option that has objectively marginal gains on the street while, without proper use is embarrassingly loud braking.
I’ve heard these are great for dust AND killing that annoying low speed squeak from the stock pads: https://precision-sport.com/products/psis-sp1-brake-pads-for-g8x-bmws-m2-m3-m4
As soon as my current ones wear out I’m going to give them a shot 🤞
Yep. I agree.. I think my plan is to swap out break pads shortly to help the dust situation. Besides ceramic and regularly cleaning that’s about the best I can do.
Swapping to iSweep 1500s will completely solve all your problems
That’s the plan
Just get different brake pads. iSweep 1500s will solve your problems.
CCBs don’t completely eliminate dust, they can “squeak” too (just in a lower frequency “train horn” style noise), and replacing them is a $15+k job.
Not worth it vs just swapping your pads out for $700.
Nice! Might try them when it's time for new pads.
My 2021 R8 has carbon ceramics and they're amazing; no noise, no dust. But I also only have 7k miles on that, compared to the 15k on my 2023 M3.
I posted in April about my dream order for a 2024 M3. About 9 weeks later the car has arrived. I'm absolutely thrilled with how the color combo turned out after much waffling back and forth on color options. IOM in person is simply amazing especially detailed. My SA didn't recommend using the dealer detailer, so we used my tint/PPF installer who works with the dealer and their Porsche branch next door. I'm off to get tint/PPF taken care of early this week. Short drive home, but it's a great drive. Unfortunately I lost the tire lottery, but in the grand scheme of things it is no big deal. I'm really impressed with the total package.
Can you explain the tire lottery?
Random draw of either ending up with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s or Pirelli Pzeros. Both are fine tires, most prefer Michelin including myself.
Tartufo interior! Noice! I went with extended to feel more luxury haha. Beautiful spec regardless! Enjoy bro!
I was torn, I like seeing black around me for the sporty feel, but didn’t want all black inside. I know I’m a weirdo ha.
Right on OP.
Be safe and enjoy!
Fkn love it
I had an order in for nearly this exact spec that didn’t get filled for over a year and a half. I finally caved and bought one used that had everything I wanted but with black leather instead.
I’m still kinda mad about not getting tartufo 😂
Congrats on the car!!!
I know people dog on the G8X manual for being rubbery but mine feels pretty damn good after 20k miles have gone through it
I was set on black as it’s sporty and classic. Friends influenced me to try other options. Glad I listened. I’m really happy with Tartufo. It looks a lot better than it appears in photos. I have a 997.1 and as much as that car is a blast I don’t find the shift action that much better so far feel wise. I was actually let down a bit when I got that car as I had always thought the shift feel would be so much better. I’ll see with more time how the g80 compares, but quick take is no complaints so far.
Nice! I just picked up mine too. Almost the same spec as yours. I went with the black wheels.
Love that combo, enjoy man!!
Beautiful
🥲🥲 It's gorgeous. Soon for me....soon.
Great looking car! The best color!
Nice M3. But the color and the grille lol it’s like the piggies from angry birds
I like the little piggies
Love seeing the manual. Enjoy the rowing! Gorgeous car
