Possibilities of Saddle Brown in an M?
I'm pretty pissed that saddle brown isn't an option for the new M3, at least not in South Africa. I'm guessing that not a whole lot will change as far as our options go. Does anyone know if it's possible, and maybe a ballpark estimate of how much it would cost, to have a regular 3 series interior color? I can't imagine it would be very hard to produce, considering the M3 will be built on the same assembly line as the regular 3 series.

Even if possible, custom changes arnt usually allowed for at least the first 6 months after launch of a new model.
They are too busy trying to build enough of the standard ones to keep up with demand

Even harder to get in the US. I'm told they are only SOs on the 7-series now. I agree with Cowmoo32 that Saddle Brown would be kick-a*s, especially in a white or silver M3.

It'll cost you about four grand,
at least this is what I've gathered from other people who have written about getting custom/individual interiors (custom paint is almost 2g) |

Wrong. Red is tacky IMO. Not a fan of it at all. I've always loved CB on Cinnamon. Pretty pissed off I cant get a good dark brown now. Guess it's going to be Bamboo. :mad:

As far as browns, BMW has Cohiba Brown available in the Individual program for the 3 Coupe (just not in the US) which is very nice: http://www.bmw.com/com/en/index_high...visualizer.xml

Fox Red
[QUOTE=x5love;1069717]definitely has some brown in it.. more burnt than full on red like coral
That's a poor quality pic--think it's richer than that in reality.
