Isn't the GTS a complete package versus just bumping displacement/power?
If power is what matters, we should all be driving Mustangs or Corvettes. Latest Mustangs are equal in numbers on some comparisons for both acceleration and handling. Of course, the Mustang is not very graceful. Quote:

Well I'm not sure about the flat black. I've seen them in almost every car. The pictures looks great. But one thing is pictures and the other seeing it in person. I think that the flat grey looks much better.

That's Frozen Black factory paint, not a vinyl wrap.

I don't think the R 1 180 000 price tag is really that high, considering that the stock M3 sells for about R850 000 in South Africa. Of course if you convert it to US$ it's a lot, but that's just how much cars cost there. Almost double in price than they are in America. |

Well, the sale stats are relative. Look at the size of the U.S in relation to South Africa. The U.S is just as big as Africa as a whole in comparison so its an unfair way of looking at it. Perhaps one should compare S.A vs each state IMO.

As a South African, I can honestly say that I did not find your original post racist in any way whatsoever. Agreed with everyone else about the paint. Would've been nice if you could at least choose normal clear coat paint. |

They do. BMW offered Frozen Gray as a limited option on M3s last year, and they all sold out in a matter of minutes. I believe a couple of other car manufacturers do on certain models as well.

Not intended to rip on the photographer (not even sure if he is the one who edited these photos) but the post-processing seems a bit overdone on some of these photos. I don't feel like the true color really was represented in most of the shots. Here's a quick photoshop comparison to show how it may have looked prior to post-processing...and my thoughts are it was even darker than this and that is why the editor tried to lighten it up so much.
