Who else is an archival junkie? I love having the catalogs which document BMW history. I was just habitual in getting them at the dealership only later to find myself ordering the car at the very end of production. Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment- hopefully they're legible

Not too many archival nerds, it seems. But I happen to be one of them.

I still have the original dealer brochure for the 2011 E9x M3 from before I bought mine as well as other memorabilia (i.e., window stickers, the owner's manual & supplementary owner's manual, magazines, etc.)

As the E9x M3 debuted in the internet age and had a lot of its coverage, content, & related media digitized (or exclusively digital), I find myself digging through/reliving moments through digital archives as well.
If you haven't taken a look already, you might enjoy the digital archives compilation I put together for the E9x M3 here.
Wow !!! Superb collection- well done Sir. So much I haven't seen before. I have to go to sleep. Will pick up more of it tomorrow.
Great stuff
I have the M performance accessories brochure that I remember grabbing from the dealer when they were still in production. Very cool to see though, thanks for sharing!
I still have those, too. I think I have one USA and one German ;-)
Yup: Checked my archives, I have US small-format 2008 M3, then large format 2009 M3 (now with convertible included), and the German brochures for 2009 and 2010 with prices (Preisliste).
I also seem to have grabbed 2008 3 Series Coupe and M5/M6/M6 no-roof.
Maybe I can add photos...
