to some people, the opportunity to purchase a 3 series is special for them. I'd be thrilled if i had an ordered car, regardless of what it is, displayed that way for me on delivery day. There will always be someone who makes less than you and someone who makes more.

Spoken like a gentleman.

We all crave what we love. I love the 540i xdrive.

When I see 530's- I'm always so happy the love their cars. I could opt for an m5 but I love the inline 6 turbo and love the weight of the 540.

I love the m5! Let's admire. And remember people that we love cars. And not badges.

That's exactly what its is : BMW tryin to surf the Grigio hype.
It's a gorgeous color that has to be seen in person.
Nevermind the haters !

I love grey on cars! Understated, classy,elegant.
I'm not really familiar with Lexus's, but I do like the rear end on this 3. I think it flows well with the rest of the car. Are the turn signals yellow? That would make my wife happy. I think the leather color needs to be appreciated in person. It is a unique shade which works well on the lighter grey exterior.
I'm not in the market for another 3, having just traded my E90 for a new 2, but I am looking forward to a test drive of this series.

Those lights in the rear bumper get a

from me.

Looks like an after thought and not part of the original design. Almost like reflectors on a BMX bike wheel.

Dravit and Cognac plus M Sports brakes makes this 330i look awesome! Congrats to whoever drives this away ...

I just saw a brand new 8 series in Dravit Grey with black kidney grille on a parking lot, and it looked awesome! It will be my choice for the G20. Only interior isn't decided yet: Mokka, Cognac or Oyster.

Blinkers on the bumper crease is corny and awkward.

M3BeamerVroom · 02-16-2019, 05:49 PM

I'll take it! Especially for 20k less than F80

noushy · 02-16-2019, 06:29 PM

It is cognac vernasca. Never seen Merino in anything less than a M car or 5 series and above. This would be a new development or a special one off for a customer.

Some shots of davit grey I took today. Has a lot of metallic gold in it in sunlight. Looks matte wet in shadow.

WCStyleWheels · 02-17-2019, 02:26 AM

Not sure if I like the wheels

KGB_123_99 · 02-17-2019, 07:20 AM

This reminds me of VW rabbit's urano grey color, looks nice!

I want to make room in my garage for that car too, kinda hot

Those are reflectors.

Now that's the most beautifull Lexus i ever saw.. It looks really stunning, but it has no BMW DNA

Lighten up, Francis - no offense meant. I would have said the same for any BMW. I just think all of the pomp and circumstance is silly. You don't, and that's fine. It's a big world in this forum.

But I do find it ironic that you criticize my generalizations...while making a generalization about "typical M" owner. And how did this become about how much money someone makes? I missed that point completely. But please...continue to make assumptions about me although we've never met.

PS - Do you notice that, although I could easily write "M4 and X5M" in my signature, I specifically chose not to? Hmmm...for a "typical M owner" I sure don't use that letter in my vehicle descriptions much.

Completely off topic but the way I read the signature line is: If you don't know what F84, F86 mean, you are not my kind and the signature is not for you.

Just to say people could comprehend the same words differently based on where they are at.

Stereotype-aside, I believe every new car (or even new to the owner) is special to them. We cannot fault BMW to play the emotional card planting loyalty seed from the beginning.

those blank black portions of the taillight ruin the design of the lights for me

With that being said, I find that Nardo/Fashion/Dravit Greys to be somewhat attractive due to their flat/non-metallic finish. But if I were spending $$ for some Individual color I'd get something more flashy for sure!

Dear lord... youthfulness of white?? really? White is like the defacto old man color.

Hey I resemble that remark. 😂. But I promise not to start an "old man with white car" special interest group in need of a parade. On second thought... 🤔.

White just looks super feminine to me. It looks like you're driving your girlfriend's car.

Rude!! 😂👎🏻

BMWrules7 · 02-18-2019, 04:56 AM

Yes! Indeed that is one fine ride!

However, can we all agree on a voluntary ban on using that cringe-worthy gutless word, "scrumptious" anywhere on this wonderful site ever again?

Great color combo! Too bad about that front end...no color can save it
