I like my cars to remain looking stock and with these mods. albeit mostly cosmetic, its a perfect blend of stock and uniqueness.

Thanks to Hothonda for pushing me over the edge.
That didn't take long...congratulations Mark!

Anybody know the mix of 6 speed manuals and DCT? Cars with black wheels from the factory
amounted to only 10% - per dealer - of the total # of cars.... Something about "inventory of wheels available from BMW.

Not A Limerock. No sticker on the back windshield and if u tool it off that just be plain dumb.. I tinted mine over the sticker and came out perfect.

Your all wrong

The car was built for the US market since they built A GTS in Europe. People here wanted A true limited edition M3 not some frozen BS and they only built 200.. 50 with black wheels and 150 with silver, the cars value is def already being upped since I tried seeing what I'd get for mine being number 1, vin verified and Limerock reps keep calling to get the car to the track and Ferrari nor BMW or Mercedes can give me an accurate trade off! Porsche wanted to swap A 2011 911 turbo conv. For even swap and I said fk that.. That's over 100K so again, if your not sure what ur saying then don't say it. Cars prediction to jump up to 200K in 2 yrs is accurate since the GTS in Europe doubled its price the same way... Just sayn

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Best post everrrrrrrrrrr

$200k in 2 years...damn, i better go buy 2...f the stock market!

Other than the plaque and the window sticker, the car has nothing that every one here can't configure an M3 with unfortunately. It's no different than the "frozen BS" editions...which frankly at 1 of 40 is more rare than the limerock. Not trying to burst your bubble here, i happen to like the limerock, but you're kidding yourself if you think it will appreciate in value.

Dude you are crazy for not taking that deal. If you think you can sell that car for more than 70k you are nuts. Just ask all the other folks that have already sold their cars. It is paint, sticker and a few bolt-ons we can all buy.

Don't get me wrong I like them but it is NOT going up in value once you put 1 mile on it. Now it is just a used M3.

There's one at Braman in West Palm Beach...checked it out today while my car was getting a tire rebalance. Orange looks great in person and the M exhaust sounded sick!

I checked one out when I was ordering my car. Came close to pulling the trigger on it, but in the end decided that going through BMW Individual and getting exactly what I wanted was the way to go, wait be damned.

How would it be paying too much if he could get it at a discounted price? It's not marked up because its a "lime rock" it's marked up because someone has to pay for the exhaust, CF additions and the flat bottom steering wheel.

Will it have better performance with the parts over a regular M3? Will it be more valuable than other M3 in a few years? The answer is probably not and if yes, not by very much. However, I think it makes the M3 more interesting. If you can afford to pay for the price difference, there is nothing wrong. For people who think it is overpriced, lets just say its hard to define what $10k or $20k means to everyone as we all have different financial situation.

FWIW, I didn't know how well I could live with a Fire Orange E90 as a daily driver but after 1+ year, I can say definitively I couldn't be happier with the decision and wouldn't trade it for any stock color.

YMMV
