SO does look great, but I feel the lack on contrast with the taillights that was previously mentioned is awful. I like the Black, but it would look dirty after starting the engine and leaving the driveway, lol.

My two favorite would have to be:
YMB/SO
AW/SO

I've always been a leather guy but the speed cloth would be nice for a track car.

Sean@PSI · 05-19-2014, 09:45 AM

Love the AW!!

Oaktree · 05-19-2014, 09:52 AM

Great to see everyone questioning SO. My ideal is SO, black wheels, black leather and a light tint - M3 (65%) still leads over the M4 (35%). In my head it looks great but I haven't seen SO in real life before. I'm also afraid that the color combo and my lead foot wouldn't go together well.

Cuz5150 · 05-19-2014, 09:59 AM

Nice spotting those, especially the cloth seat find!!!

Beware to potentially new owners of E9X M3's hitting the dealers lots.

Low miles, never tracked, blah blah blah............

d0o0fy · 05-19-2014, 10:07 AM

Awesome. I'll be at the Performance Center at the beginning of August for a 2-day M-school so hopefully by then they will be all broken-in and ready to go!

Blindside_137 · 05-19-2014, 10:40 AM

Cloth looks great!

The M4 sure is gorgeous. I love the trunk on it. SO is ok but it seems so dull with the overcast skies.

Agreed. I'm kinda holding out on signing up until they have these on the menu.

Check the original post for details

I really don't what color to pick. Every time I see new pics, any unfavourable color starts growing on me...previously I didn't like white, then it became my favourite. Now, the same is happening with SO. However, SO looks like a brick, adds some weight visually and no contrast. So, I think I'll pass it. I'm now between AW and AY.

According to this post, they are coming in July. That's why I decided to go to the August instead of the June CCA session.

That post was from January, I was at the PC this weekend and the info in the original post is the most up to date.

mvigod · 05-19-2014, 11:56 AM

I was supposed to do the Advanced M School for April 30th at VIR but when I learned the new M's would not be there and ready to drive I cancelled. Since I'm only doing Advanced M school once I wanted to make sure I was in the new M3/M4's and was told they would not have them for my dates.

Right now there aren't any other Advanced M school dates on the calendar AFAIK but looking forward to when there are so I can book and get in the seat for some time on these M3/M4's

solstice · 05-19-2014, 12:27 PM

SO can sure hold it's own among those colors. In these pictures it's the best looking car IMO. I've seen several M6s in the color in real life though and I'm not a big fan.

EMpunker · 05-19-2014, 12:34 PM

I love the Austin Yellow, but I think it will look much better on the M4 coupe's sportier roof line and trunk vs. the M3 sedan's.

I can't vouch for if the M4 look even better than the M3 in AY but I've seen an AY M3 in the flesh at the Vancouver auto show and AY looks spectacular on the M3. Overshadowed the YMB M4.

Maddict3 · 05-19-2014, 12:59 PM

cant wait to get my M!

///Mangler · 05-19-2014, 01:25 PM

There is talk of the M4 being at our local CCA meeting tonight. The head instructor for the performance center is usually at the meets with whatever the latest and greatest is. Pics to follow if allowed and if it shows up.

YMB is the color i'm planning on getting.. if i don't like it in flesh then i'm just gonna go with AW
