Introducing the 2012 BMW M3 Competition Edition Featuring Frozen Silver Exterior

GetWellSoon · 11-04-2011, 07:48 PM

Not feeling it but pictures could be so different than what it looks like in person, for instance I hated melbourne red m3 until I've seen one in person with competition wheels

GOLFFRR · 11-04-2011, 07:59 PM

Can't wait to see a frozen blue M3. Hopefully lol

Michaeljh2000 · 11-04-2011, 09:01 PM

Did they really need to put "M Power" on the parking brake lever? C'mon man. Ridiculous and embarrassing.

Buschy · 11-04-2011, 09:17 PM

These pics have non American seats. So is this really the interior? Also the build sheet says aluminum trim. Not carbon. So what's the real story ?
Those pics have been around since June.

Is there a clear coat over frozen colours? Just curious.

Zebra99 · 11-04-2011, 09:33 PM

WTF.....
BMW is milking every last penny.
And tacky badging, might as well drive a Honda and put Type-R on my car lol. Then again, it's all those badge whores!!!

Yea that's right, you whoressss

greekcs · 11-04-2011, 09:44 PM

I cant wait for frozen green and rust.

Now if only BMW would actually start delivering the 2012 M3s instead of holding them hostage at the VPC, all will be good.

Yeah!!! Just get the damn regular cars out first!

Piotr74656 · 11-04-2011, 11:47 PM

I dig it! Aside from that cheesy e-brake handle of course.

Professor///M · 11-05-2011, 12:22 AM

Interesting how no one noticed the color difference from the body and the bumper and side skirts.

It looks awful

iveman89 · 11-05-2011, 12:30 AM

you guys must not have followed the links provided. That is state of the art paint job reducing the car weight by 2 pounds. CF interior trim another 2 pounds. The E-Brake cover that you guys are all making fun of adds 5 hp. The door sills adds 2 hp, there's all the competition package. Jeez I called it before, they were going to throw a bunch of cosmetics jack up the price and call it a day.. makes me sad.

I assume you're referring to the E93 that sat on the showroom floor for what seemed like forever? I'm curious what it finally went for considering the sticker was $106 000....lol.

Slightly disappointing for a special edition

BMWRL · 11-05-2011, 08:52 AM

I'm not feeling this either, color doesn't look that special to me, and the handbrake and flags on the doors are pretty tacky...
