I placed an order for M3 TR/Silverstone full leather. I currently have the 836m Bi specced. But I really want to see TR M3 on 825 Silver. When its my allocation time, I may switch to that. But I can only find a few M4s with that combo and no M3. I almost want to spec that just because I don't see any also. And I like shiny wheels.

Unfortunately only this one, but still

Thanks for this find! Too bad we didn't get some more angles. I think that looks more impressive than black. Espescially with blue brakes i've picked.

You mean the 826M bi color right? I'm in the same boat as you. A part of me finds the 826M slightly more aggressive in terms of the design, but I really like how the 825M bicolor has more silver to the finish and really pops a lot more with TR. I really do like the 826M in the gloss black but I just don't feel it's the right fit for my car. I will say that the 826M in either finish hides the staggered wheel size set up better than the 825Ms because of their darker finish blending in with the tires. The 825Ms will make the staggered setup more noticeable and that might not be something you personally want.
BTW I see you're also active on the Audizine subforum too

I agree, I would definitely prefer this over black wheels. Another option I would consider is getting the 826M but then have them powder coated in a lighter color. It looked very good in the pictures I've seen.

If you scroll back to page 1 or 2 of this tread you will see some nice pics. This was my exact original order and I hate black wheels to dead however when I saw the red one ( see my post) with the black wheels and Carbon package ...it was just wow. I had on my order even deleted the shadow lines to get the silver exhaust tips. I really like the combinaison of red body color and all the black accents. Original I would have Red, black ( side skirts , low en bumper etc... ) and Silver... it looks too heavy of a color combination ....

TR looks incredible with the 825 Bicolors!

TR is by far the best color for the M3. AR belongs on your grandmas Buick LeSabre!

YouTube. I'll also post some pics of mine if it ever gets on the boat.

For me, the silver wheels are a must on TR. The black wheels simply disappear. Not dissing the black, just personal preference.

When I spec my G80 in the not so distant future, I will draw inspiration from my favorite sedan of all time: imola e39 M5.

It's a car I always wanted and could never afford. Now that I can afford it, I'm not willing to fork out $100k+ on a low mileage one because I haven't lost my mind.

Realistically speaking, the closest equivalent on the market today is a TR G80 with a 6-spd, silver wheels and silver exhaust tips. This means I wouldn't be opting for a shadow trim or headlights. Granted, the e39 M5 factory wheels weren't technically silver. More like chrome-shadow, but close enough to where they looked silver.

If there was an option for chrome grilles on the G80, I would opt for those too. I love the classic BMW styling where mostly everything was chrome. I will never get tired of it.

Don't be ridiculous. The colors are not the same and the cars certainly aren't. You must not've seen the pics of AR in the sun. Is a Hellcat in Octane Red an grandma's car? How about a Maserati in Italian Red?

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, as am I...

I don't like the color, full stop.

Did you see Imola is one of the [slightly discounted] 50th anniversary colors? Might be tough to justify the extra $ of Imola vs TR, but Imola really is such a special color. Go for it!!

Took delivery a few days ago. Glad I went with fiona red. It really adds some spice to the interior.

Would love to see more photos of the inside! That’s how I spec’d mine!

Easy to justify if u don't like orange tint..I'd do Imola or Snapper Rocks…Our 430ixc is Imola and man it's gorgeous after a full wash.

Oooo interested in this as it's a combo I am mulling over. Please and more pics

[Cosworthstag]

Have a TR being built as I have had ceramic brakes only wheel option is Black!

Would have liked the silver but told not applicable!

More pics please, I have a triple red on order and it's taking forever!

[raywai2]

Here are a few more parking lot photos. Photos hard to do it justice. With fiona red being a shade darker than Toronto red in person, I think it compliments the exterior color rather than being overwhelming. I am very happy with my choice.

Now….35% tint, light tint, or no tint?
