Drive it.........Thats it.
They need nothing doing to them tbh....just enjoy.
I have changed the indicators, grills and side vents to the black ones to darken it down slightly....Thats all im doing to it.
With the power it has and the way it drives you dont need to change anything imho

I just bought a carbon black convertible Friday, and have done exactly the same as you lol! Love mine to bits done 800miles already! Mines smgII which is brilliant fun apart from getting a bit billy big spuds trying to show off with the paddle shifts but instead putting the wipers on!
Get yourself on m3cutters....loads of good advice on there mate

I am considering one of these soon. How do you find it on small runs etc ? My daily drive to work is about 40 miles round trip but mostly small back roads. How are they on fuel ? Any tips on what to look for when buying ? I have heard to avoid the flappy paddle boxes

On small runs its fine, a little heavy but not a problem. Doing a 40 mile round trip daily would be no hassle at all.......And would be fun if its back roads
How heavy are they on fuel???.......quite heavy....mines doing about 20mpg town driving ect....will do 30mpg on a good run
Mine is a manual so cant comment on the SMG's....didnt want one full stop.
Look out for the usual, tyres and brakes are expensive......Good service history with the 1200mile running in service a must.
If its under 10 years old then the rear sub frame issues will be sorted FOC from a dealer if there is any.
All in all a VERY capible daily car if you can afford to fuel it for a daily......mine is just for a weekend toy/nice weather car.......And something to spend hours polishing,lol

Wow 
I'm really close to getting one as my daily, but more I see of them I reckon it's gonna put me off the Cos... So much car for the cash, yours looks a special one though Tiff

Nice motors, in fact its my favourite M3. I still wouldn't probably buy one even if I had the money. I prefer older cars and I love to surprise all those BMW and Audi drivers with 20 yo shonky Sierra...
