HJ locally had one and I went into the Pre-Reg area with no takes.....until recently I followed it onto the M56 today! Must say the M3 looks amazing from the rear and rear 3/4s very very beefy and better than the M4 I'd not agree. This colour on it though doesn't really do a sport looking car that much justice. Classy colour but not one for me.

Why the BMW, and general car industry, obsession with BROWN!?? Odd.

I think that looks stunning.
Agree the M3 is far better looking/proportioned than the M4.

That looks fab, there was another M3 in CQ on the AUC site with std silver wheels which didn't quite work. This one does with the black though amazing what difference a set of wheels can make.

Looks lovely. I am biased having just got my wife's 4GC in that colour. I am really surprised that you don't see more of it, best colour BMW IMO apart from TB

Zippeh · 03-16-2016, 11:22 AM

A 16 plate with 8k on the clock already?! Or is that their estimate by the 1st of June? Still... quite a few miles!

Only a recent addition to the optional colours I think hence not many about yet?

funny that, some colours look better with the black wheels and some with the standard silver. I really prefer white and Silverstone with the standard silver alloys but like some of the other metallic with the blacker style wheels..

Scottiedog · 03-16-2016, 11:54 AM

I love that colour but personly i don't think it works on this m3

Drisser · 03-16-2016, 12:01 PM

would look nice on my 330d actually with the tan leather.

saltyamigo · 03-16-2016, 12:07 PM

I like that colour, bit more stealth than some of the wild ones. Small thing but it looks like the M3 still has the old style cup holder, is that correct?

Yep the F80 LCI is different to the F30 LCI.

Yeah, I noticed that. High mileage for a demo car. Might be worth going in to see if you could borrow it for the weekend

Wills2 · 03-16-2016, 12:49 PM

I think the CQ would look even better with the gloss black accents as well on the grills/side strakes and exhaust tips.

Ref the mileage, the car has 67 miles on the clock and they say it's available in June, so the 8000 miles will probably be their estimate of the mileage in June not the current reading.

^ He said it first

Says 67 miles in the picture of the dash. Typo error I guess

MP sills, front splitter rear diffuser all in gloss black+ @Wills suggestions would look the business.

Sorry but not my cup of tea at all for 57K

tinytrevor · 03-16-2016, 01:55 PM

It's a lovely car, but the colour doesn't do much for me. I'd rather have it in silverstone with full sakhir orange interior.

That's not a combo I'd have thought of TBH. So much so I looked on the AUC site of which they have a M4 coupe and vert. Looks well

I just can't have a car without red leather interior, I'm on my second bmw with coral red and if I'd ever be getting an M3 it's gonna have to have full sakhir leather. Just like this one here:

I think it looks horrid.

dopper99 · 03-16-2016, 04:22 PM

Some unusual M3's on AUC at the moment......

Ruby red

And some green colour

jnismith · 03-16-2016, 04:33 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if these are the M3's which a lot of dealerships were "given" by BMW UK. Specialist cars had one in purple
