2023 G80 M3 50th anniversary

Learned today they that are status 102. 500 units allocated for the NA market. Info not released to the public yet. Comp Pkg car with xDrive equals auto. The interesting part of all of this are the colors that are being offered. See below…

Love to celebrate M heritage with an automatic.

TechnoViolet is cool, though, and the heritage badges are neat.

Ha! Agreed…. Pretty cool that they are offering one color from the five previous generations of the M3s. As much as I dislike the front end if they offered it with a manual I just might have ditched the G87 allocation.

Those are some cool colors!!

If the offer those on the G87 I think IB is the way to go. TV would be to close to TN. FO to nuts. LG Meh and I am not a red car guy.

It might happen.

I'd go Technoviolet with Gold CCB's and M Carbon buckets with extended Merino leather.

I'm not ever getting this car so I don't mind going crazy with options.

Edit: I thought 2022 was technically the 50th year, or is AG & NA being liberal with that interpretation?

I LOVE TV but with the G42 having Thundernight, TV would not feel special enough on the G87.

IB with Cinnamon is what I had on my 05 M3 Comp. I would do something similar with the carbon buckets in a heartbeat.

Sadly, these paints aren't in the individual program as I was trying to build a car.

Daytona violet looks pretty cool with the gold wheels though.
