Maybe M Studio?? OMG, I would LOVE to see that...
Us Canadians get no ED discount and my husband didn't really want to drive our new car on roads he wasn't familiar with, so we took an ED-like trip instead... It was so awesome driving the Alps. It'll be paradise with your M.

Then for the first 1,200 miles: again, not exceeding 5,500 rpm and WOT for short durations only.
When you do PDC, don't you take your car on their track? It would be difficult to keep within these parameters if so.

Nope, you get to abuse *their* M cars. Then you get to drive yours delicately home....

Thanks NoM3ForM3!
I was worried for a bit, because it's rarely ordered as a color (although it's ordered more frequently in countries where there is an official Individual program). And it's really hard to capture accurately in photos. But I absolutely love it now. It's can be a 'true' black as well as a 'sparkly' blue.
Jerez Black is also nice and can have that nice metallic black look too. It has some violet (purple) - EDIT: it's actually "Lilac" - in its composition (while Azurite does not). And while a very nice paint tone on its own (as well as almost entirely M3-specific), I preferred the Azurite and thought, "oh well, I'm spending this much anyways..." We also get our individual paint as a package with the individual trim for cheaper than in the States.

Still sad about selling the M Coupe last year, but I'll feel better when I'm driving the new M3 in Germany |
I absolutely love the fact that you have a collection of M's. I truly hope to keep mine forever, and eventually have a little collection of my own later... I bought it with that intention.
