23MY M3 Individual Grigio Telesto Pearl on Kyalami Orange Delivered

apexes · 11-23-2022, 04:53 PM

Finally took delivery of my M3 after 8 months

Took delivery at BMW San Diego - no BS, great experience!

My build:

2023 M3 Manual
Ext: Grigio Telesto Pearl
Int: Kyalami Orange/Black Full Merino

Options:
Executive Package
Parking Assistance Package
826M (black)
Carbon fiber trim
Drive recorder
Front ventilated seats
Icon Adaptive LED's
M Shadowline lights
Personal eSIM 5G
Wireless charger
Extended Shadowline trim
Red calipers

Considering I had never seen the color in person, I am very happy. Also, pleasantly surprised that the individual colors show on the interior displays.

Sharing some pics, can't wait to get through the break-in period. Cheers!

That is a beautiful color combination!

Blindside_137 · 11-23-2022, 06:18 PM

Killer combo. Telesto is such a great color on the M3

G-Mann · 11-23-2022, 06:32 PM

Congratulations on the new ride. That is a gorgeous color combo.

cj0817 · 11-23-2022, 07:41 PM

Just wow! Congrats!

Limegrntaln · 11-23-2022, 08:19 PM

Grigio is fantastic. Great looking ride. Check the Photo Subforum. There should be a Grigio Telesto thread where you can post it in there.

ericxog · 11-23-2022, 08:39 PM

Incredible spec. Enjoy in good health.

John4C · 11-23-2022, 08:44 PM

Gorgeous. Color combo is very complementary. Enjoy it!

Forzanerazzurri · 11-23-2022, 08:51 PM

Terrible color. Congratulations.

Thanks! Looked but it was just a bunch of one off posts, no official GTP thread that I could find.

2swift · 11-24-2022, 12:07 AM

Wow, looks great! Great color combo!

Glad to see west coast week 38 builds getting their car this week! I'm scheduled to pick up this Friday!

Are the carbon fiber side grills standard? I thought it was partial matte/gloss black, never really noticed! Lol

Mine is manual too. Finally daunting on me that the e-brake is electronic. Might have a hard time adjusting to this, and will be paranoid it's not in the position I want it to be in.

Rollidude · 11-24-2022, 12:12 AM

Long 8 months were worth the wait! its a beautiful machine congrats how you liking the new screen display??

Thanks! The carbon side vent covers are from Kies motorsports, ordered them before the car came in 😬

Pretty happy with it so far. Resolution is crisp, and responses are quick. I do wish there were some more traditional gauge designs to choose from. Only negative is not the system itself, but I seem to get an occasional rattling/creaking from the screen on certain roads.
