Not too shabby, but price is absurd.
I almost bought a MR on FR E90 M3 slitktop with no-nav... now THAT was rare.

I didn't do ZCP though. I know, what was I thinking?

I test drove an MR stripper before I bought my e92. In the end, I just didn't dig the color .. to orange-pinkish for my taste, and when the sun hit it, it really didn't do it for me. I personally like Imola much better, now that would be nice individual.

The M3's that are well cared for however have a beautiful metallic flake with a deep red glow in the sun. It's stunning. I also much prefer the dark blood-red-orange tone of Melbourne to other fire engine red colors out there like the popular Ferrari red M4's. I do agree imola is another great example. But I think a lot of it has to do with the condition of the paint on these cars as they approach a decade old in some cases |

Probably never should have sold either the X5 or E46M3, but life moves you to do odd things sometimes...<sigh> I need some mulligan buttons or do-over button for my decision making it seems...

I like the E90 in Melbourne Red, but I don't think the color looks right on newer cars. Apparently, the OEMs spend considerable time and research on figuring out how to tweak colors and select them for a given car's styling and lines -- I read a whole thing about how GM did it for the C7 Corvettes.
I would rather have Sakhir Orange on the newer M3s. That color looks amazing.

I want a color the looks good in light, overcast, garage lighting etc.. Sakhir looks INCREDIBLE in the sun. But after seeing several on a cloudy day it looks like a rusty copper. No thank you. It does have tons of character which I love. But just doesn't change the right shade of orange for me. My favorite red all time is mclaren volcano red. |

They are out there it seems. Not sure why people don't list on cars/autotrader but I have been able to find several on random craigslist locations in major cities.
This one in San Antonio looks decent but only 2 pics. Seems like a great deal though for a manual MR E90 slick top. https://sanantonio.craigslist.org/ct...490689495.html |

That looks similar to the one posted by Kevin on page 1 from CL...wonder if it's the same and being resold already?
