My New Darkar Yellow 2022 BMW M3 Competition Xdrive :)

m3apm · 12-23-2021, 01:42 AM

happy to announce just three days ago I took delivery of my individual Dakar Yellow M3 comp with Xdrive. I absolutely fell in love with the car as soon as I saw it person.

This is my first M car, but not my first BMW.

Now a little bit more about the car. Car was ordered in Dakar Yellow with 20" 963M performance wheels. The car pretty much has every option other than the M carbon exterior package and the carbon bucket seats. Personally I was a little bummed about no carbon exterior but don't mind it so much now. The interior is black merino extended leather along with carbon fiber trim.

The car is currently sitting at just over 140 miles, took delivery with 40 and I added another 100 but I immediately dropped it off to get PPF, ceramic and tint done. I do not have the best pictures but for now this will do. My instagram is @m3apm so feel free to check it out!

Awesome car! Yellow has been growing on me lately, really like it.

Congrats!

Somehow I'm picturing a pikachu lol. Lovely build

Limegrntaln · 12-23-2021, 05:23 AM

Congrats!! living the dream, already, at 20.

With 140 miles on it, it sounds like an unwind, or a rollback. The dealer wouldn't just let someone drive this car around, and put 140 miles on it, unless it was a managers car.

Do these cars not have insulation on the underside of the hood? Seems odd.

Congratulations on the car BTW!!

They do not. Most M cars don't...we're supposed to hear our engines...and direct injection noise. :-)

Oh okay never realized that, LOL. I have a 2021 F90 but do not recall the hood not having insulation but I also maybe open the hood once and do not remember anything odd. I am out of town but will check when I return.

BGM-M3COMP · 12-23-2021, 07:20 AM

Oof talk about a loud color lol.

Enjoy the car man!

Waterbelly · 12-23-2021, 07:28 AM

Nice wheels on that one.

FISH22 · 12-23-2021, 08:19 AM

Love it! One of the best yellows on any car.

My M2C also didn't, and I'm not sure if there are M's that have hood insulation...the M5 seems like the most likely to have it. With the M2, if you wanted the insulation, you could buy the 2-series insulation and install it. No idea if that's possible with the G8x since the hood isn't the same as the 3 Series.

Congrats!

Congrats!! My love of the M cars started with a Dakar E36 M3 in my early 20’s. Still my favorite color. Be safe, that’s a lot of car.

FYI, the car was NOT customer ordered. I ordered this car for the store (BMW of Mountain View). The wheels are Style 963 M (19"/20" F/R) in frozen gunmetal grey.

And congratulations on getting your first ///M car!

calbears · 12-23-2021, 10:15 AM

Here's a video and some pics of your car

Lol. Sounds like the OP was fed a line.

Regardless, nice car and congrats on owning something very few 20 year olds do!

Trojan4evr · 12-23-2021, 10:58 AM

Congratulations. Looks gorgeous. I absolutely love it. I remember seeing the video and the asking price. I hope you did some major negotiations on the price, and if you didn't, who the F cares. You know your finances better than anyone else on this forum.

All in all, such a unique and beautiful spec. Enjoy it in great health and happy holidays.

rgrovr · 12-23-2021, 12:13 PM

A man after my own heart.. 963M wheels have to be one of the best BMW put out on the M platform but hey I'm biased

The car had only 40 miles when I took delivery, the other 100 I put on it haha. Probably should have clarified

Definitely did some negotiating, did not even pay close to full markup price on the car haha. tbh if you want to know I could even let you know what the markup price I paid was.
