Stole it from E46fanatics

I'm not sure why they didn't paint the entire car, but the exterior looks good minus the grilles, plates, and badging.

interesting...i'd need to see it IRL i think, but it looks okay from here.

tightie · 10-13-2008, 12:13 PM

i think its vinyled.

Rick · 10-13-2008, 12:16 PM

they forgot to matte black the grills

Singletrack · 10-13-2008, 12:29 PM

Looks interesting. I always liked the matte-ish silver on the concept car.

MDCTFTW · 10-13-2008, 12:45 PM

Looks damn good.

JEllis · 10-13-2008, 01:02 PM

Probably vinyl....

Speedtrap · 10-13-2008, 01:35 PM

Vinyl looks good on the M3.

KonigsTiger · 10-13-2008, 02:02 PM

IMHO

RaptorKTM · 10-13-2008, 02:38 PM

i honestly dont think the m3 suits that finish very much. thats just me. Id like to see the m3 in some super bright metallic color. I think that would be sick

torredresen · 10-13-2008, 03:03 PM

Thats not too bad,imo. I would never take it, but it's not bad

KKSigs · 10-13-2008, 03:22 PM

not my cup of tea

SS32 · 10-13-2008, 03:42 PM

I've thought about painting mine flat black....maybe later in life when I can afford to use it as a dedicated track car. My E30 is going to be flat black when I'm done working on it. Oddly enough, when I walked outside this morning, there was a thin layer of dew on most of the car that gave it somewhat of a matte look; it looked great.

Not everything looks good in matte black. This included.

J08M3 · 10-13-2008, 08:20 PM

I think it's cool, but wouldn't want it for myself.

I agree

i think it looks ghetto not doing the door jams.

Xelloss · 10-14-2008, 12:38 AM

Looks alright. Doesn't compare to jet black. I think flat black appeals more to exotic cars with their sharp lines or heavily curved bodies, thus better showing their features. This is just okay. It doesn't have that flair nor does it grab me as the other colors and makes it look tame.
