You won't find another M3 in that colour. Well that's good, because skitterstter brown is probably not high on people's lists of favourite colours.

I saw that and wondered how that came about, all I can think is someone very rich or a Dealer Principal/Sales Manager going to town on his demonstrator.

End of "summer" so owner removed sunglasses and realised why the salesmen had blanched when he handed the colour chart back?

Cant you get personal leases which last 12 months?

Its probably unsellable becasue of the colour. Who would buy a diarrhoea brown car? Regardless of make / model, unelss you snapped up a bargain then spent the saving on a wrap.

In my opinion thats clearly an ex BMW demo car that was specced by a clueless member of staff then sold on to someone clueless....

Could be someone like my wealthy uncle who just buys a new car every six months.

Yep I wondered exactly the same thing.

All the hallmarks of a demo alright.

Could be that someone believed that brown was this years cool colour....

Speccing up stock cars used to be really good fun, trying to work out what would look good and grab people. I did a couple of SLKs in black with red leather and AMG bodystyling, despite concerns they romped out.

I wonder if they woke up one morning, looked outside the window, and suddenly realised what a grave error they'd made with the colour choice.
