Limited edition E92 Matt Frost Grey M3

AWMSPORT · 07-30-2010, 03:09 PM

I couldn't believe my eyes when i walked into Vista BMW of Coconut Creek and saw this only 90 made, and apparently 30 already sold!

trendy26 · 07-30-2010, 03:20 PM

haha, was just at Vista the other day and saw it... Gotta LOVE the $20K markup! lol

dardeca · 07-30-2010, 03:24 PM

I believe only 30 were made...not 90.

Mavrick151 · 07-30-2010, 03:26 PM

Even though they all sold out in 15 minutes, a lot of peoples eyes were bigger than their wallets. I know of 2 sitting at dealers now.

mkoesel · 07-30-2010, 03:43 PM

Looks like BMW NA failed to keep these from being scalped then. Not surprising.

I wonder how many of them actually ended up in the hands of the person who made the reservation.

Wah · 07-30-2010, 03:45 PM

I'm sure the paint waiver scared people off.

Vista is known to mark up everything in their showroom floor, even 328i.

the interior is hideous........
the two tone is done so poorly.

Crazy Bimmer · 07-30-2010, 03:54 PM

^ gotta agree. I am not a fan of the two-tone they used.

Excellent point.

RandyB · 07-30-2010, 04:07 PM

The seats look very GM-like and the matte finish paint is beyond understanding.

Unfortunately, I agree with you.

I am picking mine up tomorrow. I stalled for awhile because I am keeping my M5 and did not want to carry both for that long. Mine is probably the one you are talking about.

I was an original person to make a reservation. Had to really think about it before I pulled the trigger. When it came in and I looked at it, I was sold.

You really have to see it in person. I thought a lot of the same things that you are saying and then I took a look in person. It truly is stunning.

Not sure if my pictures will do it justice, but I will post some once I have it.

GOLFFRR · 07-30-2010, 06:24 PM

^^ you will love it man. its sick! congrats again

Pictures definitely don't do the seats justice.... They look awesome in person. Always a fan of the two-tone, and these are not a cheap-looking "GM" quality seats....

OC Dealman · 07-30-2010, 06:59 PM

Come on guys? Don't be haters. GM Like!! Do you really think that BMW would put GM Like seats in a limited edition M3.

I saw one this week at a dealership in CT. It looked great sitting on the service area floor, but I would never agree to the paint waiver. And I wouldn't know how to maintain it. I view it as a garage queen only. With the matte finish, how can you take it out?

It had the two tone fox red/black leather seats and I thought the fit and finish looked fine BTW.

Mookster · 07-30-2010, 11:36 PM

I saw a Frozen G M3 last weekend and the paint in person is amazing. Its not your typical boring matte finish. It was stunning under the sun, seems almost like it has some kind of sparkle in it, it was just a beauty. Interior just doesnt fit the car tho....BMW failed with interior.

My girl's 2010 Daewoo Lacetti (Chevy Cruze) has two-toned seats and it looks 10x better than that.
