Just looking at M3's on ebay, never seen one in this colour before.
What are peoples opinions on this:

lovely but i would say that, when you say youve never seen one that colour, i gather you mean the E46? i see a E92 in Dakar yellow the other day

Edit: its an individual, if you rang BMW they would be able to tell you how many "individuals" have been sprayed that colour from factory

E46 doesn't suit Dakar yellow IMO would have to be Imola Red or Estoril Blue!

E92 looks very nice but if I could afford one would be Alpine White

Probably a colour chosen with "BMW Individual"

quote:
There is, though, the opportunity to add yet another level of exclusivity. This is achieved through BMW Individual, a set of scrupulously selected enhancements that allow you to make your own distinctive mark and to find your own ideal aesthetic balance. In short, to make your BMW a genuine one-off. BMW Individual is BMW ownership at its most exclusive.

I'd be very wary at that price, although it's a CAT D. Still, that is very very cheap.
