Sunburst Gold F80 M3 ED Journal (+ Newly Remodeled Welt VIP Lounge Review)

Kankles · 02-16-2016, 04:05 AM

Gorgeous car and very well spec'd, down to the 18s, which are so underrated.

E90M3JETS · 02-16-2016, 05:06 AM

Not my cup of tea as looks very Honda Civic to me for some reason, but good luck with the car.

SouthernBoy · 02-16-2016, 05:47 AM

So it was $5,000 for this color you picked? My dealer told me it doesn't matter what color I picked and it would always be $5,000.

paliknight · 02-16-2016, 05:55 AM

That looks like a great experience! Gorgeous car too!

How do they put the front plate on? Hopefully not screwed on!

If it has been done previously on your model its 5k, if it hasnt then its something around 7k.

Not a fan, mineral grey, BSM, YMB look much better imo but if you have to be different then sure.
Anything that's close to gold doesnt look good on a sports car.

Wing Co · 02-16-2016, 06:32 AM

Fab - reminded me of one of the colours of the 1970's Mk 1 Capri - obviously better, but at the time very bold and also a mighty fine desirable car.

hlmiii · 02-16-2016, 08:06 AM

Wonderful picture.

Intentional or not - it's quite an eye-catching and artistic shot.

raysspl · 02-16-2016, 09:21 AM

What a great color choice. I'm jelly!

XsltAnalyst · 02-16-2016, 10:39 AM

Congrats!

Honestly, I was expecting some cheesy colour (like those gold chrome wraps) when I read the title but once I saw the pics, I was like WOW! This look pulls off being flashy yet classy at the same time, bravo!

ano0oj · 02-16-2016, 11:30 AM

gorgeous combination

mike@x-ph.com · 02-16-2016, 12:00 PM

Must be an amazing experience

M3ichael · 02-16-2016, 12:29 PM

Excellent Pics!

clubsport · 02-16-2016, 06:37 PM

Great Color.

Exactly what I'm thinking doing. PTS, Cloth, Manual, 18's.

Looks like I have a reason to go to SEMA again.

That is a great colour !!
Would love to see it in person, but you know there will be very few around, if any.
Nice !! Congrats again, enjoy it.

RaceCarDriver · 02-17-2016, 08:41 AM

Nice color, glad to see its a stick shift

Powerbeast · 02-17-2016, 09:21 AM

MParallel · 02-17-2016, 04:10 PM

Bold choice, but paid off!

Love the 18" wheels and black interior. Enjoy.

What a cool color! Can't wait to see some posts when you get it redelivered back to the states.

And thanks for including the shots of the new lounge. I thought it was terrific when we were there in October. It looks even more amazing now.

Thanks for posting.

Yeah like I said, they just improved an already good thing in that lounge!

I think of it as more bronze-ish than gold-ish, but still a great choice.

I like the copper/bronze look it takes on in low light!
