I’m still having this internal struggle with color. I argued between Alpine and Brooklyn. Alpine won. Now it’s Alpine and Portimao. lol

My build is set for Alpine White, ATM. (I’m Week 30, 111 status.) I think I’m sticking with it though. Alpine is just too hard to beat (in my mind anyway.) Theres no best color to contract the black accents on the exterior, IMO.

It’s hard to go wrong with ANY color though the more I see these.

Yeah man I have seen a few colors and the white is a really good one man. Looks dope. I had the same struggle with the blue too. I’m getting skyscraper grey

Skyscraper is another awesome color. I’ve drooled quite a few times looking at those in their Appreciation thread. Lol

I had a white C43 for the same reason, white is just one of those colors that it’s toooo difficult to keep clean. I’ll get a car wash and driving 1 mile back home the car is already dirty again. My M340 it’s portimao and I love how it contract with the black ascents. My only issue with the black accents is that they get swirls marks by just looking at it too long. White is sexy personally I’ll go with dravit but I wouldn’t pay the premium price tag for it unless we where getting discounts.

With all things considered I went with black sapphire with the carbon fiber exterior trim to get contrasting under good lighting.

I also went with bsm, because I kinda hated the big grille. But now as I look more photos, it slightly grows on me lol, kinda want the skyscraper grey.

My first M3 was Alpine White. Loved the storm trooper look. Unfortunately it got totalled. These were the last pictures I took of it. Going with a different color this time to spice things up.

Holy poo, that’s beautiful. Wow! Yeah, this is exactly what I need.

I appreciate this and the feedback from everyone. Means a lot especially building my first M3.

Yes, my back needs the lumbar support of standard seats. No carbon buckets for me.

I've recently learned that production date is when car is expected to be completed. Not when it starts. I'm also 150 and have VIN. Ind color and buckets confirmed.
Quick question, do we just spy on week 24 cars and expect everything to be the following week for us? I ask because I'm seeing some cars sent to port already for that week.

My last BMW followed that logic pretty close. However, I’m hearing a lot of delays/issues are going on so not sure how accurate that will be right now. My CS is still at 112 right now and Genius confirmed that I’m still scheduled for a week 25 build, so who knows….

I am week 24 just reporting for you guys. M3CX NO carbon buckets.
Was completed exactly on the production day and off to port right away. No delays.
I thought it was not going to happen because I was in paint booth day before production date but then everything happened very fast.
