E92 M3 Colour combos

[cs1874]

Guys,
Looking for as many E92 M3 pics with different colour combinations as possible. Struggling to make a decision. I can find various variations if I search online, and use the configurator on BMW, but I'd really appreciate any photos of your cars you may have handy so I can see what they look like in the real world.
Thanks in advance.

Only colour is White....

Black or grey interior. Avoid the foul Fox red interior.

All very much IMHO

I wanted Monte Carlo blue, but as that was a special edition, you can't spec it new.

So as a second choice went for Melbourne red with a black interior - most photos don't do the red justice, but get the car detailed and it's a stunning deep red that contrasts the black roof. There's a reason the cars were launched in that colour.

White also looks good, as does the Silverstone 2 in my opinion.

Personally I think the blues are a bit dark to do it justice, and the blacks are too generic and don't show off the roof.

It's not the best proportioned car, so is pretty sensitive to colour.

Also i'd recommend you spec sun protection glass regardless of what colour you choose.

I have the lovely Mineral White with FOX leather which I think is stunning

Also Sun Protection Glass, High Gloss Shadow Trim and Black Carbon Trim to name a few.













I'm really pleased with the Mineral, it's pearlescent characteristic is just stunning (to me anyway)









Fox is really hard to capture the true colour but I love it, breaks up the interior nicely.





PS make sure you get DCT it's bliptastic!!!

I've specced the sun protection glass. The wheels will be Comp 359, and whether those are black or silver will depend on the car colour. I'd love something quite shouty, like Sakhir Orange or Java Green, but doesn't look like that's going to happen....I'm not shelling out 3k for a colour.
i've got Alpine white at the moment, and everyone seems to agree that it suits the car but I really feel like a change. Got about a month before I order.

It needs sunlight to do it justice but the blue tint looks great in the sun whilst still carrying the black which gives it a mean look (IMO). Jerez Black on Fox Red

Eh? WTF!

It has fabulous proportions! The shape is cohesive and just RIGHT

Get a manual! DCT so dull. Keyless entry is also worth considering

My current car is DCT and I love it. So easy to just plod along, seamless gear shifts and blisteringly quick changes when pushing on through twisties. I wouldn't go manual again after DCT.

Fair does, but I think manual on proper powered cars is a threatened species. Enjoy while you can is my mantra

Another vote here for white & I am really pleased I went for a manual box too, nothing wrong with DCT at all but I would find it boring after a while but we live in a point & squirt generation but I think three pedals are great
Competition wheels look the best out of the lot though.

Looking good. Looks so much better with the chrome grilles rather than the naffola black ones. Where are the CSL rims?

Unmolested -



Rolf was here-





Why did you do that? Black grilles look good on E36s and E46s when bought by people who wear hoodies and bad teeth...

Thanks I love the front shot of yours loads too, I agree I am pleased mine has the chrome grills but most do seem to like the black ones, with regards the CSL's its just my opinion I think they are the best wheel & I would love a set!

Agrred on the wheels, but STEP AWAY FROM THE BLACK GRILLES!

Don't worry I am keeping the chrome grills! I am to old for this modding lark! there is also pretty much zero chance of me changing the wheels I would find it hard to justify the cost when my wheels are fine as they are.

Space Grey (the fastest colour) :-)

Very nice cracking wheels too.

White was overpowering the thread so nice to see other colours.
