F80 M3 Pyrite Brown Individual

Pharmacist_ · 08-08-2014, 02:04 PM

Congrats on the car and for being different. If I had to go with a brown, this would be it.

such a gorgeous color!

congrats!

mab436 · 08-08-2014, 03:10 PM

Bleh!

mkoesel · 08-10-2014, 06:52 AM

Looks fantastic.

This is one of those colors where the aggressive styling and lines of the car trump the otherwise conservative nature or stodginess of the hue. Instead of making the M3 look like a Rolls, this makes brown look sporty.

rubber_ducky · 08-10-2014, 07:46 AM

I love it. The only thing that I might change is to add shadowline trim. Everything else is just so shiny

Vectors2final · 08-10-2014, 08:16 AM

I think it looks great. Probably better in the sunlight...

The best part about your choice is that it was an Individual choice... Never mind the gripes around here.

Orjan · 08-10-2014, 10:39 AM

That color is awesome! Congrats with a beautiful car!

Ragged Edge · 08-10-2014, 11:16 AM

Wow! Beautiful colour! Good choice.

kregu · 08-10-2014, 11:40 AM

Hey Mill
congrats to your new car

Hope you will pass to show and to drive it with me very soon

I can't wait to get my moonstone/ black M4 in september or early october too - so we can do a ride and photoshoot together

cu

F82_M4 · 08-10-2014, 12:56 PM

M3/M4 will still be beautiful no matter which color choice you go for.
I applaud you for going with this unique color.

Don't you think Pyrite brown will look better with Sonoma beige/amaro brown interior, individual wood trim, silver wheels, m performance yellow calipers (not worth it to go for CCB just for calipers color, it will be silly), and sunroof since cf doesn't complement brown colors imho.

congrats again !

ss134 · 08-10-2014, 01:52 PM

I think this is a very brave colour choice. Colour is very subjective and beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I would never consider this colour for my M3 but it looks classy and different for sure.

Congrats to the OP for going with what he wanted and not starting another 'please help me I'm too indecisive/insecure to choose my own colour and need complete strangers on a car forum to agree with me thread'

Very unique, I would definitely do a double take if I saw this car rolling down the street.

ChrisMT79 · 08-10-2014, 02:02 PM

Hum, I really have no idea if I would like this or not. I know this color is one of those, you have to see in person to judge. Ever since Porsche came out with that brown (which in person I actually liked), but it has really opened my eyes to the possibilities and fact that indeed, some cars can pull off colors in which are not the norm. That being said, kudos to you for taking the chance and being an outlier! In all honesty, my order was in too early to be able to take advantage of the individual options, but if I were going to attempt something like that, this would have been the car to do it! Simply due to the fact that resale value will lot be a concern (this baby is home for good

)
So again, congrats!

Man you should see the color in real. Just amazing.

What color would you chose ?

It matters not what I would choose since it's your money BUT to answer your question I want this car in Interlagos Blue.

m3less · 08-10-2014, 03:12 PM

Beautiful color congrats! I just don't think it works that well on the F80.

T3X4S · 08-10-2014, 03:26 PM

Pyrite brown looks fantastic. Congrats.

Lorde · 08-11-2014, 09:48 PM

Brown. It's the new burnt orange.

I like it. Great choice! All of the haters picked YMB.

J50 · 08-11-2014, 10:19 PM

I like it sort of, though personally wouldn't choose it....that's the beauty of choice.

DBV · 08-13-2014, 09:40 AM

Have you taken delivery yet? I'm dying to see the Pyrite Brown in the sun!

Fun of it · 08-16-2014, 11:44 PM

Millwagner, any outdoor photos you can post? Am interested to see the color in sunlight. Am wondering if I should consider the color.
