Beautiful colour. There's a burnt orange I walk past every weekend, but I'd for for yours personally!

Also a million times better looking than the new one sweet purchase mate; enjoy.

[Ruskie]

Looks fantastic, I think they really nailed the body on this era of M3, looks purposeful.

[cerb4.5lee]

Very nice and I love the colour(slightly biased as I have a M4 in SMB!). I absolutely love the wheels that you have on it as well.

Enjoy it.

[Gary29]

I echo all the above sentiments, that looks fantastic, I'm green with envy.

[Court_S]

That’s stunning.

The M3 is a good looking car anyhow with those rear arches but they look especially good in SMB bad I love the wheels.

[d_a_n1979]

That's absolutely gorgeous

Those alloys suit it to a tee as well

I went from M3 to 911 many years ago. How do you think they compare?

[Stu-nph26]

I seen this up for sale on the AUC website without doubt the best colour combo. If you aren’t arsed about HUD and HK then you’ve got an outstanding car.

[cerb4.5lee]

I'll swap you my HK stereo and HUD for your Silverstone seats if you want?!

The lighter interior would've been my ideal spec instead of the black seats that I have. I think the blue exterior and light interior is a lovely combo.

The 640d I had was deep sea blue with the ivory white leather and I thought it was lovely, a lighter leather always lifts an interior as well I reckon.

Ha! Tempting, but no thank you

I really like your M4. I have a rather irrational dislike of the 666M star-spokes that are OEM on the Comp pack. The combination of that and most M3's seemingly being white or yas marina had really kept them as a peripheral interest until this one popped up. The perfect colour*, wheel and interior combo meant I forgave it a few other shortcomings.

• I also love Tanzanite and possibly Silverstone.

Thanks.

We are definitely similar and I've never been fond of the 666M wheels either. I'm another big fan of Tanzanite too, and my mrs actually prefers Tanzanite to San Marino Blue.

[Court_S]

I do t like the comp wheels either. Not a fan of the design and my cleaning OCD would go nuts!

The HK system in my 140i was Ok at best so you might not be missing too much.

[Nik Gnashers]

I have an M140i with the HK system, and I think the audio quality is actually pretty good, it's just not that loud.
If you don't mind not letting everyone else within a 1/4 mile radius hear what you're listening to, then I think it's pretty good.

Back to your car, and just wow, what a brilliant machine, I absolutely love it.
The last of the great looking M3's.

Stunning, amazing what the wheels and carbon bits do to elevate further an already gorgeous car

Only thing I’d be tempted to do would be yellow calipers

[chris116]

That's my favourite colour on these and I also definitely prefer those CS wheels over the standard competition wheels.

[cerb4.5lee]

You've done a great job with the seats. I also like your idea of adding the steering wheel carbon trim, and that will finish it off nicely I reckon.

Cheers, just need to decide if I can stomach the £300 price tag

[Stu-nph26]

Those seats look brand new mate great job!

[Maty]

That is one beautiful colour!
