Joe Achilles spec'ing his new M3 Xdrive
After testing the X drive he decided to give up the 2wd . Nice spec but he is quite the fan boy.

Doesn't seem like he's seen Fiona in real life before spec'ing the car; he says it's a deep red, it's actually much brighter than a red like Tacora. I also think it doesn't go as well with the gold of Dravit as Kyalami does.

Same color combo as mine, should have went red calipers Joe! Fiona is a brighter red and the red calipers are a close enough match that they really tie it together.
Looking forward to the review.

Nope, I've seen a lot of US members mention these but neither appear as standard options in the configurator in the UK. I was of the impression they were individual options out of the catalogue but based on your post, I take it it's "just there" for you to pick on the US config?

Different target audience I guess. Super boring video. I don't even know how it made it an hour long. I guess it may make sense for people who don't understand what they gain or give up with each option.

I had originally wanted to go Fiona red on Dravit grey. But it was not allowed on a 21 at the time. So I went with black on carbon buckets. After seeing Fiona in person Im glad they did not allow it. It does not go as well on Dravit as it does on skyscraper and brooklyn.

Anyway, it's BMW UK who choose what options are offered in its own market, and how models are priced. The UK not being offered the base M3/M4 and only offering the Competition model is another consequence of this. |
