Definitly not my cup of tea, but there it is...

Big Windy · 12-03-2007, 10:05 AM

really shows the jerez black though...

JEllis · 12-03-2007, 10:47 AM

Jerez...Nice!...like the wheels on the left side of the car

K3N R3D · 12-03-2007, 11:03 AM

That Jerez is beautiful. I like the lip spoiler in front.

gbb357 · 12-03-2007, 11:19 AM

Wow! What a beast. Any specs on that?

centexm3 · 12-03-2007, 11:24 AM

i like it -

Epacy · 12-03-2007, 11:27 AM

I don't think that is Jerez.

I agree. Probably the blue/purple color. Whatever color that is, I don't want it.

gadget · 12-03-2007, 12:16 PM

When are people going to stop RICING cars with stickers.

Other than that I think the car looks great but agree that it is not Jerez Black
Much nicer than the ACS3-POS

it's a show, so it's normal. plus hamann and hankook have some type of partnership going on.

anyway, not feelin' the wheels and the rear wing. the rest is ok (some what hard to make a good judgment on the details due to the pics).

remmib · 12-03-2007, 12:24 PM

So much reflections that its hard to see how it really looks.

+1. This looks like some kind of custom color to me.

Leg · 12-03-2007, 12:51 PM

This is from the Hamann site. Have to say, with an Alpine White M3 coming in the spring I am liking those wheels!

+1 Based on the well lit pics of Jerez in other threads, this is also Jerez. Look how intense the lighting is. It's time people wake up and smell the coffee. Jerez Black is what all of us in NA have always called "Midnight Blue", nothing more.

I think the color choices for the car are abysmal, inside and out. I'm stuck ordering a black interior because the "Bamboo" is so ordinary and the FR gets more hideous each time I look at it. We in NA were screwed by BMW for not having any individual options. Personally, I was admiring the Cinnamom interior on the older M3 for years, and now all I can get is FR

I know my opinion is at odds with many others so apologies.

i was suprised that people doubted that it was jerez, but then when i looked again i wasn't so sure myself. i couldn't dig up more through google, so who knows for...i'm not sure i agree about the exterior color choices being disappointing, but i do agree about the interior. i think palladium is the best option there. i wonder if Hamann did any interior mods.

SMSgt B · 12-03-2007, 02:11 PM

I have seen Jerez black several time now and this is what is looks like under intense lighting. The blue specs in the paint are pretty close to THIS COLOR. If you really want a "Black" car, I would order black and spend the cost of metalic paint on another upgrade.

V/r

so why the hell did BMW name this color Jerez BLACK again? looks blue to me.

Bad taste week I guess...

If that is the same car under natural light, then it is indeed Jerez.

SpencerM3 · 12-03-2007, 02:45 PM

I like the front spilter.

They're pricey. Really pricey. The set for a Lambo is around $12K. Not sure about the BMW Fitments.
