My second choice would have been red but there is no option for red either :-(

Typically special orders are not taken until a few months after launch, I believe. Sakhir has a lot of red in it.

Individual paint costs around $5,500.

+1

Damn well estoril is an option for like $500 on the 435 so it clearly is not worth an extra $5,500!

Is it just me or does anyone else think they HAVE to release more colors. I feel like other than your standard white, black, and grey variants they went with all extreme colors: Yellow, orange, and baby blue??? It's like a bowl of fruity pebbles for cryin out loud!

I am so glad they revived the name ''M3'' with this car.

It's like going back to the root, 4-seater Super Saloon that is a street-legal race car.

Well done!

The rear bumper needs a serious redesign. It looks as if a high schooler designed it. The rest looks pretty good but I would still prefer front lights detached from kidneys.

dimabimmer · 10-29-2013, 07:01 PM

did anyone notice the seats?!
even from this far you could make out tops of front and back seats...

come on!
we need more photos!

It's better than the alternative. When the E9XM cars were first offered, there weren't any bold colors at all. Subdued Melbourne Red and a couple of boring (no offense) shades of blue, and then a bunch of earth tones.

This range is much more exciting and fits the character of these cRs a lot better.

The M3 name never went away to be revived, unless I'm missing something.

Sports seats have previously been photographed in detail:

Can't win. Normally BMW comes out with all black/greys/whites. Now there's too much color.

I would pick Yas Marina Blue in a heartbeat. That color is incredible. Can you guys imagine a YMB M2? Wow.

cjwb1984 · 10-29-2013, 07:10 PM

I need to see the Yas Marina blue in person. I still love the san marino blue color, just such an attractive blue color.

antzcrashing · 10-29-2013, 07:11 PM

omg that is amazing. I am about to change my first-home savings to a M3 savings..

curious what you think the powerball numbers may be...

Remonster · 10-29-2013, 07:33 PM

I may have just bought a blue E92 M3 TODAY but I can't deny how incredibly awesome the F80 is. I'd love to own one some day.

positiveions · 10-29-2013, 07:38 PM

Not bad.

EdR · 10-29-2013, 07:53 PM

Cool. That looks like Nick's Cove on Hwy 1 in Marshall, CA.

Green///Hell · 10-29-2013, 07:57 PM

Dang that M3 is looking sick yo

RoboM · 10-29-2013, 08:09 PM

That M3 is pretty low, too low to be a standard production car.

JTO24 · 10-29-2013, 08:14 PM

Yas looks real good! F80 definitely has my attention.. Love the sedan for so many reasons
