Congrats and welcome to the board!
Suggestions:
Dont let Valet park your car for you.
Change oil twice a year.
Drive easy until the engine is fully warmed up as determined by the red line.
Dont warm up the engine by sitting idle. Immediately drive the car at moderate speed.
On hot days - once your car is inside your garage - lift up the hood, let the engine breath easier and prevent the plastic parts from being cooked by the engine heat.
Keep your engine always clean. People would admire you and your mechanic would love you.
Dont use Gunk engine cleaner. Use Scrubbing Bubbles. I have a post on that here, just kindly do a search.
Never let a 16 year old kid work on your car at Car Toys. Go to a reputable electronics shop.
Upgrade to LCI LED front turn signals and LED tail lights. LED's are much brighter and consumes much less power.
Avoid the front plate. It makes the beast look ugly.
Upgrade your center channel speaker. Easy mod, makes the stereo system sound much better.
If you are like me that takes long drives on empty deserted roads - buy a spare wheel and tire for peace of mind.
Add a back up camera and front camera. You will avoid scraping your front and rear bumper or front lip if you plan on adding one.
Go for an ECU software mod. The difference is amazing. I am happy with Active Autowerke on mine.
2011 DVD maps are available in eBay for cheap.
I highly recommend Tubi Rumore exhaust.
Always have a good looking sexy gal wearing thongs wash your car for you. Makes life easy and happy : )

Do you recommened an oil change every 7500miles with the 10w-60? That what I did with the m3.
I need to clean the garage for sure.
Florida doesn't have front plates FTW.
What center channel speaker do you recommend? Out of a newer M6 or aftermarket? Were is this located? Near the dome light?
M3s dont have spares either, screwed me a few times.
The ecu upgrades don't come cheap on these cars. I got my AEM EMS standalone ecu on the supra for a bit more than the M6 reflash. Can one reflash be used on multiple cars?
Exhausts aren't cheap either. Probably be my last mod after suspension, intake, CF corner markers, black grills, lip.
