2015 Individual M3 Grigio Telesto arrived

spuntyb · 03-01-2015, 12:20 PM

Love it! Congrats!

Do springs and spacers make much difference on an already aggressive setup?

Cheers!

Hobbination · 03-01-2015, 12:25 PM

Hands down the best looking M3 I have seen in the F80 range and most expensive... But still best, amazing looking

OP, I absolutely love the combo, great taste. I am working with my local p-car dealer to order a GT4 to replace my M5 and after a few options it ticks over $100k easily, so I understand your point of view.

To the guy saying Mineral Gray looks like Grigio Telesto they look nothing alike. If you see them in person side by side there isn't anything similar about them. Sounds like you should just make your own thread instead of coming in here and posting pics.

Cars across the board have gone up in price. It isn't just with BMW it is with all makes and models.

What I have learned is that there is two kinds of buyers in the automotive industry the ones who can afford to buy a car brand new, not just a base model but ones fully spec'ed out. Then there are the ones who buy 2nd hand. Nothing wrong with either but it is what it is. Price is relative to the buyer.

After seeing this thread I can only imagine what people would say if biglare posted the msrp on his individual build..

What a beauty, congratulations!

cracing · 03-01-2015, 12:37 PM

Beautiful color and definitely unique! Need more photos plz!

And you're right, now with that photo of the lamborghini out in the sun it shows how significantly lighter it looks in direct light.

From the initial photos it looks much darker which is why I thought it was darker than MG. All the more reason I really think MG and this color need to be compared on the same camera in the same lighting conditions.

JS919 · 03-01-2015, 12:58 PM

Awesome color!

ScoopsLR · 03-01-2015, 12:59 PM

Very very nice

Falafel Combo · 03-01-2015, 01:01 PM

Don't care about the price, but the color is very boring to me. Obviously, I appreciate that these are very personal choices and I respect yours. So congrats!

I'm sure some here would call my Austin Yellow M3 a bit obnoxious. And I might actually agree.

No worries. I have a bad habit of not elaborating with my posts on here so it most certainly looked like I was referring to you with the end of it.

But in all seriousness I absolutely love your vert as well. The color combo is one of a kind in its own right

How did you do it? That's like wheel locks and floor mats on a Porsche. Wait, was that it?

Stunning car OP!

Adem1534 · 03-01-2015, 01:20 PM

Amazing car. Amazing color.

They should offer something like this for the M2. I think this color would look epic on an M235i.

M2 should get a gray like this, maybe a tad lighter. Blend this with Donnington Gray and I'd love it even more.

MI6 · 03-01-2015, 01:30 PM

Italian- Grigio Telesto

American- Battleship Gray

But Grigio sounds sooooo much sexier..................lol

BTW- United Airlines loved the color so much it was part of their livery from the late 90's until 2008.

Oaktree · 03-01-2015, 01:34 PM

Very nice
Your dealership looks really shitty

acey81 · 03-01-2015, 02:26 PM

My god that is simply stunning. Congrats!

cjack · 03-01-2015, 02:31 PM

Grigio Telesto is a Lambo color. I was told there was an F10 M5 done in this color but no other m3's.

I will post better pics after my detailed goes through the car.

Additionally, I have the titanium exhaust from BMW that still needs to be installed. Only other modifications will be clear bra, tint, springs, and spacers.
