I wasn't surprised that TX steak was better
Go in the summer or before Oct. Oct is hit or miss and after is definitely not great with the weather. F80 M3 is a great car, low 500 whp with a tune, not bad.

Yep that's the plan!

Yeah I attended a dyno day with a bunch of F8x M cars when they first came out last October

It was 100 degress that day, my stock LS3 C6 6mt put down 395whp, F8x M cars were putting down 412-420whp, with a tune and some E85 there were multiple 500whp+ pulls. The shop car had catless downpipes IIRC and made mid-500whp. A full bolt-on E90 M3 made 360whp. This was at European Auto Source here in California

That's also the day I learned the cars really don't sound as bad as the internet makes them out to be...I actually like how aggressive and unique the exhaust note is

Since u get the Euro delivery, what about the size difference between plate size?

I know on most cars that make cars for both countries (S2k for example), they have a different trunk or bumper to accommodate the different size plates for each market.

Same bumpers / trunklid, just a different bracket for the rear plate, Euro vs. US. The European front plate is only attached with double-sided tape and is easily removed. We have no front plate here in Pennsylvania.

Funny side note, the first car we saw when reaching the top of Stelvio Pass was a RHD Monte Carlo Blue S2000. Saw an Imola Orange S2000 on our descent from the top of Stelvio Pass.
