I stumbled over this .pdf file with an actual picture of the M3 in the Aventurine Silver colour.

This file also confirms that Alcantara roof-liner and alternate interior colours are not yet availble. - All in good time I guess.

Enjoy!

- For some reason I were not allowed to upload the file, please find the link below:

Edit: The dealer told me that all the colours that are available for the E92 Copuè is available for the M3.

Every time I see the Individual catalog I want to cry...

We do not get this in the U.S. :mad:


One good thing though- because we DON'T get it, it makes it easier to choose which colors and trims because....................

if I had Individual I would NEVER be able to decide which combo to get!

Almost all of it is freekin' gorgeous.....

I know! I just sent an email to my dealer last friday telling him that I wanted to change from Space Grey to Jerez Black, he called me a few minutes later and told me that all the Individual coupe colours are availble for the new M3. ... dang. Here we go again. Now I'm considdering Azurite Black, Blue Onyx and Aventurine Silver...

I've never seen the Aventurine Silver IRL but this gives an grey option that is not standard. The M3 needs that, it looks good in Space Grey but hey, another Space Grey Coupe is not needed and Silver Stone II is too light for me.

I'll take mine with Jerez / Black / Piano Black Trim / Anthracite Alcantara Headliner please!

I have asked specifically about the headliner but so far I've only received negative replies.

Well that sucks... I was just thinking that piano black trim would look great in an E90 M3.

Wow the single M3 in the brochure sure is UGLY. Something about the color, its softness along with those rims. Can't believe how bad it looks. Oh well I'd still love to have the Individual program here in the US for the M3.

It has a lot to do with the buying habits of Americans. They are far more likely to lease and they are far more likely to purchase off the lot. This would leave BMWNA and BMWNA's dealers holding the bag on unusual combinations. Which they don't want.

There is little benefit for them. How many people do you know will not buy an M3 cause they can't order it in an individual color? But the cost is a question mark, how many people will order unusual combinations and then lease them or back out once the car arrives.

On my order it states that the anthracite roof lining (SA775) is standard. This is for SA spec cars.

Yes many other makes as well seem to follow that same practice.

Anthracite is standard, but not "Alcantara Anthracite".
