Coworker took Perf Ctr delivery of a ZCP M3 over the weekend

It's here at the office this morning. Interlagos blue w/Cinnamon interior.

Damn beautiful car.

Must be one of the last US delivery and PCD for the E46 M3.

That is a very nice combo. I came close to joining Ted, but when I viewed it in person it had a little too much purple in it for my tastes. I already have one occassional purple looking car and didn't fancy having a second one. That's why I wanted Le Mans w/Cinnamon.

But in spite of those reservations IB/Cinnamon is a gorgeous combination.

He placed his order knowing he was getting one of the very last E46 M3s.

Then he got one of the last flat-out beautiful BMW's that we'll likely see for a while. That is outside the E63 of course.

It's a two-year lease, just in case any locals want to start advance planning on their used car purchases.

The thought has crossed my mind.

BTW, it's a stick not a wankermatic.

It only has the purple tones in certain lights and its never really overpowering.

True. I still prefer Le Mans as my favorite BMW blue.
