Poll Euro vs US available M3 colors

oneginee · 10-19-2008, 12:55 PM

There are quite a few more M3 options available for european buyers as well as colors. There are no less than 5 greys total (vs only 1 for US destinations sparkling graphite is no longer available in 09 models) and 4 blacks !

For those of us who like greys and blacks I just wondered what color do you like best based on the picture below alone. This is a poll.

1. AS (aventurinsilber metallise)
2. MM (mondstein metallise)
3. SS (Silverstone)
4. SG (Space grey)
5. AZ (azuritshwarz metalise)
6. RS (rubinschwarz metallise)
7. JB (jet black)
8. JZB (jerez black)
9. don't like grey or black

There are more than just the Individual colors. In Europe they can also order other paint colors (including blacks and greys) as well. In fact you can do this in the US too if you have a connection like Will@longbeach, and if they approve your color selection.

Whatever the closest is to just plain, simple, and pure silver!!!

So I could get that on a special order on a U.S. car, is that right? Anyone know the price?

I actually just sent BMW an email with that exact question this afternoon.

Mondstein metallise looks like a very nice color.

Not sure if the pictures do much good to reality...

Aventurin Silver

SilverstoneII

Mondstein Silver

Rubin Black (more rubin than black, I think it's the same with Azurite blue...)
