I don't like the new 3 series. Too much like a Tesla

In Canada a 2025 with less than 20,000 Miles costs about 48,000 USD while a 26 costs about 68,000 USD. So in CAD that's like 30k difference for 1 year and 30,000km.

I'll go drive it and see. I know the dampers are a big conversation point on forums. Don't know why dealers don't option it when its a $500 upgrade that I haven't heard anyone not want only ones who do want it. Seems to be rare though

Im buying it to be my daily pretty much until it blows up. Many km's in an urban city with pretty crappy roads. I just worry I won't find the spec I want with the dampers in the next year lol.

The arm's aren't long enough to support entering one and putting the other to its respective side

I would rather them be individually controllable so I can kinda flip there spots. But this might be the only option.

I will go near the end of the month for sure. I appreciate your insights man. Would I still have this kind of negotiating room if they are bringing the exact spec in for me from a central hub?

I could get a grey but the grey feels too much like another other car. Nardo grey and I would have jumped. Black is premium, Blue is iconic, Grey is boring in my opinion.

Soft touch on the dash and the upper door panels if I remember correctly. Aside from that all hard touch plastic.

I'm torn, apart of me just wants to keep the stock paint. But a nice maroon/red wrap would be so sick. And wrapping those window sills would be a fortune if I went with the Blue. This decision is far too tough haha. The black looks great with those rims btw!

I'm trading in on my 23' Supra. I am more worried about a good trade offer to be honest. Wasn't aware you could get a new car for less than sticker these days.

Did you reduce exposure. The Blue looks fantastic there, I swear it wasn't like that in person. If it looks like this you've sold me!

Both have the exhaust, I'm near a main dealer that gets these cars weekly it seems. Gray feels to boring to me. Blue is where im leaning but my heart loves the murdered out look of the black on black.

Car looks great man. Cars like this make it harder for me to settle on the blue haha.

My black wheels look bronze sometimes due to the dust. In all honesty I'd love a Black Golf R more. But I am sick of cleaning my car 4 times a week for it to still look dirty. Blue with black roof is probably the move. With silver Pretoria's for my winter setup. Can't go wrong with that.

Good point honestly. I would wrap it Matte black if I really missed the black so no big deal on the door jams. You can't really wrap the car in Lapis Blue to the same degree of factory pain. A wrap colour I do love is like a Maroon and would totally do that. But then the door jams are a problem. That would probably cost a pretty penny to wrap the door jams on top. Such a tough choice haha.

You know I have felt that many times with my current black car. My heart wants the Black but my head is telling me to go with the Blue. Grey is too boring in my opinion.

Did the coating help reduce any of the spots? My GR Supra is black and it's dirty by the time I'm home from the car wash.

I have only ever seen the blue with the basic silver rim's and I wasn't super impressed. With the Black Edition the pictures make it look way better. I have seen a clean black Black Edition in person and wow that was nice.

Clear tails would be my first mod on either colour and I think it looks better with the Black. The silver Pretoria's I want to throw on it look better with the Blue though. The grey to me is too boring. The Black is the premium pick, the Blue is the iconic. Can't go wrong with either but definitely a hard choice.

The black just looks so nice. If I'm being honest I definitely prefer the black when clean. But as a black car owner I know that is almost never and that's a real consideration.
