M3 in the yellow looks amazing! I hope we get to see it in MW or AW next (other than in spyshots).

M4Trojan · 01-23-2014, 03:47 PM

I agree with others, the AY M3 really needs the CF roof to break up some of that yellow overload.

Doctor///M · 01-23-2014, 04:43 PM

...on my waaaay!

Tonymiabmw · 01-23-2014, 04:45 PM

Please take side and straight on front and back pics of the AY M3

Where R DA PICS?!?!

Black Gold · 01-23-2014, 10:41 PM

Coming

Car is impressive in person. Most impressive is the interior. Destroys my e92. The seats are phenomenal and the leather and materials quality is a couple cuts above the e9x. It also is a huge upgrade over the standard f series cars interiors.

I'll do a more full writeup tomorrow am

Mineral gray looked good, the Sonoma beige was spectacular IMO. Great quality and color and the contrast stichkng looked great.

The m3 looked better than the m4 IMO, but good lord I really don't like Austin yellow personally. It's just not my style. Wish I could have seen the m3 in a white or black, as those are my two top picks.

Also of note the cars both had extended leather and the coverage and look was great, would not spend more for full leather. The interior was damn good as is. Also, the car had hk stereo with extended leather so apparently they are not mutually exclusive.

Damn! MG looks SO GOOD! Thanks @KennyPowers

Keto · 01-23-2014, 11:28 PM

If that's sonoma beige i'm a bit more intrigued by it. What color was the contrast stitch?

Real Deal · 01-23-2014, 11:41 PM

The MG looks great, ok MG and SS for interior it is for me :-) 6 more months to go :-(

parky1215 · 01-23-2014, 11:59 PM

MG looks really good...
However, AW M3 will probably look better than MG M3.

Until they are all in natural sunlight we will never know, cause who really sees a car under these lighting conditions?

michaelw9 · 01-24-2014, 01:33 AM

Was that really Sonoma Beige? I can't see any difference from Silverstone

Dawko · 01-24-2014, 03:22 AM

Judging by these pics Sonoma Beige is way too light for me. Hello daily clean up.

535DMSport · 01-24-2014, 05:29 AM

I do not understand why they display these cars without high gloss shadowline. The matte shadowline doesn't do it for me.

Exactly...other than the world premiere in Detroit, all these other Ms do not have the shadowline trim for some reason. I wonder why?
