As far as those that have Bluetooth, leather, heated seats etc, that's still not a big deal as they don't really add weight but there is something extra cool about someone in this day and age saying...just make mine with a big V8, a stick between the seats and 4 of the ligthest wheels possible. Nothing else....period! : ) Those that did it that way were scoffed at by salespeople and others but they held their ground and ordered it the way the old school M3 guys would've wanted it. So they deserve some overdue credit. So well done unicorn owners! |

Too many people replying to this thread with AW, Jet Black, SSII, etc. cars...I don't care what you're packaging/option configuration is, those colors will never equate to a unicorn, these are mass produced cars, especially the E92.
Where are the BMW Individual cars? Limerock's? Frozen colored cars? Those are true unicorns...IMO. |

Now my humble non-Individual M3 happens to be a 1 of 1 among the 2012 MY E92M3s to grace the North American continent. By the way, it isn't rocked chipped at 46k miles.

Here is mine: The no option cars with MT and speed cloth are the rarest of all. Part of why I started this thread is to see how many are out there. It would be a pretty safe bet to say that there are less zero option M3s in any color than there are Lime Rocks or frozen cars. Some of which are still laden with weight adding functions so aside from color, they are not really that special to some of us that love the lighter, more focused versions of each generation. I know of only two or three like these in the country. There might be 10 E90 no option M3s in the entire country! A no option car, whether you appreciate it or not, is the lightest iteration of the e90 M3 imported into the US. Can the lime rock say that? So I use unicorn because I have never actually seen a no option E90 M3 in the flesh. I only saw one in an autotrader post and one posted here. Like a unicorn that I can see pictures of but have never actually seen one in person. Lime Rocks, Jahres....seen several of them. |

I feel this is akin to the people who post a 'super rare' imported car from Europe on craigslist or elsewhere. Of course it's rare. Of course it's a unicorn, it was never sold in the United States. I've mentioned before, bone-stock M3s in the next few years will be the cars that demand attention first. |

Most ZERO option car do not sell very fast...there was one on Autotrader for over a year, I don't know if it sold or the guy kept it or traded it in. There are still a few for sale now and not moving. The one on Autotrader was listed as HIGHLY DESIRABLE ZERO OPTION CAR....and it just sat there.

I personally think having a rare color combo is a unicorn, which is why I own one. I just really like rare colors in cars, always have. To each their own though. I have no qualms with someone preferring a black 6MT with 0 options.

Pretty car! When and if you sell it, would you ask for more because of the color? Do you feel someone would give you an extra couple thousand because it's a rare color on a relatively common E92 M3, other modifications not withstanding?

Certainly not the 5k premium, but maybe 2-3.

Personally, I'm not concerned about saving 60 pounds between a loaded m3 versus a low option car. It's the aesthetics!
The idrive/Nav display is simply ugly! I also have a single hump dash 335i and it looks 100x better than my m3. The single hump dash layout is simplistic and timeless. |

Nope! That's an extra 1.5 pounds of worthlessness.

The rare color is cool and somewhat special IMHO but has little substance compared tom The lighter no option cars do which have other benefits like lighter weight nicer dash and grippier seats. Now a no option car with an individual color would be the ultimate unicorn!!! That would be insanely badass. Anyone know of one of those?
