Smoked Topaz Rarity?

[BYIMW]

Hey y'all! Finally decided to stop lurking to ask if anyone knows how rare Smoked Topaz Metallic is on the F8Xs! I’ve been on a one man crusade to try and found out. But to avail.. ;-;

I looked at one when I was shopping here in Fort Lauderdale. The salesman was trying to sell it to me. It was a non comp pack older car. The color just didn't go well with the car in full stock form, I thought. Unique color though.

Well, I can't speak for the M4, but for the M3 (according to the M3 model life production thread) there were only 58 produced globally, with 26 in the US. Mine is one of those in the US, and one of only 2 with 6MT, Carbonstructure interior and Comp Pack . So not the most rare color for the F8x, but definitely not that common either….

Since we are showing some STM love, a few more shots, including one showing the car getting some DIY TLC maintenance and some action shots of where all M cars are at home….. Which is on the track…

Might as well throw a few more photos into the ring myself

Before/After shots. Evolve x Bilstein B6 Damptronics with Eibach V2 springs. It's settled a little more in the front.

And a dirty shot to see how dynamic the paint is.

This thread makes me want to do bad things

We will never really no the number of individual m4s because the production numbers never got leaked like they did for the m3s

Do you have more images of the lower splitters and the process? Are they painted on top of the oem mperformance carbon or did you get plastic and have them sprayed? Curious about this because I’d like to do something similar potentially

They are just like the OEM carbon fiber splitters, except they are forged carbon fiber. I bought them from RW Carbon.

Here’s mine just to add to the collection.
