Niiice, congrats!

Very nice! I guess we could have guessed that the 300,000th M car would be Alpine White, seemingly the most popular color for the fourth generation M3. Congrats to us all for being part of an amazing milestone!

Wonder if the guy receiving the 300,000th car gets anything special.

icemang17 · 06-19-2008, 03:52 PM

AW is a very popular color....however I am partial to my MR

!Xoible · 06-19-2008, 03:59 PM

No, that's how many pictures of AW M3s we have on this forum.

It will probably end up in some Arab car colection never to be driven. I can also bet that the guy that gets it will recieve it as a gift.

BMW kept the car

Worldwide purchases of the new BMW M3 alone exceeded 4,000 in the first four months of the current year...

they probably sold more than that in europe from sept to dec 07...

and these numbers do not reflect the full impact of the US market, it's largest by far...

"The USA is the most important market for BMW M automobiles..."

Interesting we had to wait until last to get the car....HA!

Totally!!

Although the optimist in me thinks they wanted to shake out all the kinks before foisting it on their largest (and clearly most VOCAL) market.

BMW needs to really celebrate this ocassion, Its going to be a while before they get to the 400K mark , espcailly the way the US economy and gas prices are.

Big Windy · 06-19-2008, 10:10 PM

That's a lot of Ms. Do they typically celebrate at every 100,000?

As long as those bastards took to get to my production full of delays, I can almost bet money I was 299,999
