phoenix yellow is not the color that can be capture easily in photo, hence the op may think it is ugly in the first pic. but if your car is clean under bright sun or dark at night, it is one of the best color on the m3. especially if you have my combo.

here is my car at night, unedited/no extra image processing. just straight point and shoot camera.

But I agree. you either hate or love this color.
