Coming back to the M3

Well as the title says... I originally bought an M135i for my wife in which she did not like driving it so had to buy her a different car... So with doing that I thought well I may as well have the M135i... And all I can say is what a car!!!! But sadly it is going... Only had it since 1st September... But I was in the dealer this morning to have the winter tyres swapped over and there it was!!!!! Individual Suzuka grey metallic paint with lots of toys M3...

Jokingly I said to the guy I always deal with bet you could work me a good deal out on that???? He said no way your wife will kill me!!!! Any way I have managed to get a good discount knocked off the price , no deposit and they clearing off the neg equity in the M135i as I am a loyal customer they say haha...

So the spec on the M3 is:-
All the normal stuff you get in them and...
Individual paint Suzuka grey
Black full merino leather inc dash
7 speed DCT
19" M double spoke in ferric grey
Reversing camera
Carbon fibre interior trim
Extended storage
Rear side window blinds and privacy glass
High beam assist
Head up display
Harmon kardon sound...

Pick it up on Friday morn...... So I will have up for sale the brand new winter tyres Pirelli and also the M performance exhaust from the M135i...

I have loved the M 135i but I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time..

I think it is one of those colors that don't photograph well. Is it a very light grey? It is hard for me to discern the difference with the white color (from looking at it on my iPhone)

Yes very light grey, I tried to take a photo looking down the side of the car looking at the white floor.. It is a hard colour to photograph

Axel,
I had an M135i before the M4, and i really enjoyed it, and wouldnt discredit it in any way shape or form, but it is nowhere near the M3/4 imho. You have made a great choice, they are a monster when you get the hang of the car, well done.

Not the first M car to shed it's paint, poor show from BMW Individual if you ask me.
