Hi all!
I've been visiting this site for a while now and just took delivery of a 2008 3 Sport GT a few weeks ago.
Got everything except the Lux Pkg and added tons of accessories. The OEM Ipod adapter certainly is taking some getting used to but the connection is clean and sounds great!
I only wish the weather was warmer so I could keep my moonroof open more often!
Look forward to spending lots more time here!

Welcome Colin to our little corner of cyber space. Love the side mirror L.E.D's. Whose the person on the passenger seat?
Looks good, you certainly stacked up on the options! Time for some aftermarket accesories!
I just got my car too. Similar to yours. I like the side mirror lights too. Nice addition.
About the bug deflector... just what I heard: Apparently it disturb the air flow around your car, which affect your gas mileage. I better option might have been the clear plastic sticker, and looks cleaner in my opinion.
But if you like the look of it, that's cool too.
What other option did you get?? I was thinking about the ipod connector too, but reviews from this board weren't the best so I decided to hold off.

I share the same concern about the bug deflector but all is now bought... The other options I added were: auto dimming mirror w/ compass, metallic door scuff plates (these babies look SWEET), trunk liner, rear bumber scuff pads, LED door pocket lights (trick!) and block heater (boring!).
Welcome Colin to our little corner of cyber space. Love the side mirror L.E.D's. Whose the person on the passenger seat?That's my lady who is poking her head through... The LED side mirrors I am really a big fan of. They look great on the car as they add a definite bling and I've always found them to be really functional on other cars so I thought I'd give them a go.

so, any performance differences?

Yes. The LED side mirrors clearly make the car go faster.

Thanks for the replies all!
And BTW, the thread title should read "My new 2008 3 Sport GT rocks!"
as in 'rocks the house'.
I think my first mod will be the shark fin...

Shark fins are the shizzle.
Ya. That huge antenna looks really danglee. I might have to look at a shark fin too. Hopefully it's not too expensive and keeps a good reception. I'm sure the answer is somewhere on this forum.

Sweet car but I'm not digging the bug deflector, looks better clean. Besides the mirror signals what other changes are there vs. the '07's?

are those LED mirrors stock?
did they like start shipping them w/ the 08's!?
LED mirrors are an option.

Hopefully they come stock on the new 2009 3 as I think they are much more effective than the side markers...

I tried to get Fark from the MTO. They rejected it on the grounds of obscenity.

I remember a few years back my father tried to get "GEE SPOT" for his Corvette and the MTO sent him a polite letter saying, ummm, no. The letter is now framed and on the wall in his garage...

that is awesome, i want such a letter . . .
:D
car looks nice, congrats! but does anyone else feel the LED mirrors are a bit overkill considering the car has side markers?.. lol
car must look like an airplane when you've got the signals going!! :chuckle

I love the blue colour! It reminds me of my SiR (sorry about the Honda ref).
