2015 Individual M3 Grigio Telesto arrived

Axxlrod · 03-02-2015, 01:49 PM

Beautiful car, Brad.

Love the color.

kyleb350 · 03-02-2015, 02:08 PM

Not sure I'd pay that difference over getting Mineral Grey, but with that said, that is a nice color.

jbrucebmw · 03-02-2015, 02:13 PM

That looks great! Please post more photos in the sun when you get a chance.

Hey Brad, I know you were debating between the M5 and M3 before ultimately deciding on this sleek M3, but were any other BMWs in for the running like the X5M or X6M? Their price (though slightly above if you start making them fully loaded) would be close to the 100K mark. I'm just curious if you are strictly a car/sedan guy; if not, what gets you through Utah winters?

Kartelli · 03-02-2015, 02:31 PM

wow, what a colour! badass!

801M3 · 03-02-2015, 03:00 PM

Hell yes Brad!

48Laws · 03-02-2015, 03:02 PM

BMW should be ashamed an optioned-out m3 can tip at $100k. It's not op's fault. Those who have money will spend it if given the opportunity. The color is great but I'm puzzled why BMW would consider it an option. This and many other individual colors should be in the normal rotation. They'd still make a killing but GD

Mpressiv3 · 03-02-2015, 03:23 PM

Nice color! BMW is not cheap, nor should it be. They're high quality German cars with very nice add-ons OP got. If you can afford it and like it...why not? Enjoy your machine OP.

Agreed!!

I love the X5/X6--they're phenomenal, but I currently have a 2014 Cayenne Turbo S to get me through the winters.

There's also a McLaren P1 floating around in Grigio Telesto.

I've had some inquiries about the interior and the carbon center console piece. I only have one picture for now:

Thanks for the pic Brad!! After looking at it, I believe the "Center Console Cover" is indeed the surround for the shifter. The shift lever itself is carbon fiber, and that too is listed on the sticker, but the blade underneath the iDrive controller should already be there if you got the Carbon Fiber interior trim. I circled where I think this piece is....

Blksnowflake · 03-02-2015, 05:57 PM

Enough stalling....lets get some pictures outside.

Mikey:
....I pretty sure that piece is what's listed as the centre console, I have the same option on mine.

It's not an issue. I would keep posting stickers.

As the kids would say, haters gonna hate.

I mean, it's not like this is the Honda Civic board. It boggles the mind that people spending 70 odd K or so on an M3 would turn around and say that someone else's more loaded M3 is too expensive.

VMRWheels · 03-02-2015, 06:54 PM

Wow LOVE this color.. especially with the CF accents

There is not one definitively correct answer. Justification varies from person to person.

JTO24 · 03-02-2015, 08:07 PM

I love everything about this car! OP, well done and beautiful collection

nilfinite · 03-02-2015, 08:28 PM

Respect for the OP for sharing his build with the forum and showing us something we normally wouldn't see. The color is amazing and I'm sure it's even more ridiculous in person.

Baylor86 · 03-02-2015, 08:41 PM

Awesome color! Congrats! Can't wait to see more pictures. Also, great collection

SMURFDADDY · 03-02-2015, 08:48 PM

ROFL at all the haters.

Sick car dude. Hands down one of the coolest colors around
