If you’re planning to put Edelweiss Wheels (I did and can’t say enough good things about them), shoot an email to Erik Platten (the owner)…he will make a spot on recommendation on which color wheel is likely best suited for your car.
Post more pics when you’re done with the mods, would love to see them. Macao Blue was my 1st runner up when I was deciding the color of my G83. Decided on Blue Pozzi.

This is a terrific color, one I've seen on limited production E30 M3s, and I like it!
I would strongly recommend AGAINST EBC Red Stuff pads, if they even make them for this application. As you will see on the EBC site, which may have changed since I bought the pads for my application, they suggest the Red Stuff for vehicles with substantially lower hp levels than your M3 possesses. I have them on a modified '13 128i making perhaps 260-270 crank hp. On my car, which has the BMW Performance Brakes with 6 piston front calipers with slotted/drilled front rotors, I overheated the brakes with repeated stops from speed while doing a bit of bedding in, causing A LOT of fade. While my use as a daily driver is not likely to require such braking capacity, I suspect your M3 will need a higher level of brake capacity, perhaps the Yellow Stuff which is not as low a dust pad and is probably a bit noisier. YMMV, but strong recommendation AGAINST them from me, for your application!

It’s unforgivable how the rear door meets the rear wheel panel. Just lazy and cheap.
Otherwise it’s stunning. |

Outstanding color combo!
I wonder if Macao Blue can really be paint matched if a repaint is ever needed, it looks like a very complex color. |
