Japan Red on a foggy morning

Winter is officially here in the UK, and with it comes the foggy mornings. Cold damp roads are still fun with an E92 M3 however!

Was it (Japan Red) an original BMW OEM Color, or did they only offer Melbourne Red?

Melbourne Red was the standard offering.

As far as I'm aware Japan Red was only offered on the UK special edition known as KA401 of which there were 25 and another version called Performance Edition which was Japan Red underneath but wrapped in Matte Red of which there were 10.

I am unaware if there are any other cars outside the UK that may have this colour as an individual option.

Its just going through Bilstein Germany internal testing at the moment. We changed so much from their standard damper they wanted to run it through their German testing procedures.

They will be worth the wait!
