Just took delivery

Finally guys, finally I have her. Austin yellow F82... what a beautiful color. Some will be dissapointed in the moonroof... some will understand why I have one. Yes CF looks cool, but I think the moonroof on AY looks sick.
I took delivery with winter shoes on. VMR 710 with Blizzak LM-32. Drove awesome so far. Will get tints in a week or two.

BTW- Anyone done IBEX?

enjoy some pics
Happy to be part of the M family...

Congrats!! Sounds like a sick build, show us some pics!

Powerbeast · 01-24-2015, 12:37 AM

Pics? I would think it's TOO much yellow without the CF roof separating the color.

F80AYM3 · 01-24-2015, 12:59 AM

Good choice! Congrats! Use 3M Crystalline tint it will blend perfectly even you have a CF roof.

Dude, that looks good!! Awesome and congrats! What wheels are those? Is there a style number? What size are they. ?

firstknight69 · 01-25-2015, 09:58 AM

Hey guys - thanks for kind words.

Wheels are from VMR, model 710 19x9.5 square setup
255x35 19 all around

Blizzak LM-32

Like many here I spent countless hours picking the right setup... I drove yesterday for first time and there was slush and snow on the ground as well as snow in parking spots.
My thoughts - over the slush and snow it felt good, in areas with lost of water there was a slight hint of hydroplaning but with careful driving it seemed fine.

Can't wait to get tips from you guys
