2023 G80 M3 6MT Individual Malachite

Hey fellas,

I never do car threads, I don't know why but this one I really like it. Only plan on doing some track mods like cooling ducts, 19inch square wheel set, stud kit and maybe BMW HAS kit.

Specs are Buckets, garage remote and Alu rombcicle trim that's it. Got lucky on the tires too. Oh and black accents delete so I have body color mirroirs, spoiler and chrome tips.

Yes we did a twin dilevery with a 2023 X5 45e in Manathan to replace our X3 30e

Gorgeous color. Really unique. Thanks for sharing!

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 04-22-2023, 01:49 AM

This color looks awesome on the G80 M3.

moonluv810 · 04-22-2023, 05:57 AM

Proper spec with 6MT!
Congrats!

Awesome color, cant go wrong with the M Performance HAS, I love mine.

Beautiful color. Like others said this is my favorite (until I see a new Individual

). Like the black interior over the white or other colors that seem more popular.

saw one on an m5. looks beautiful.

Amazing color, BUT…
Why not Carbon interior AND laser lights?

I am not a big fan of carbon fiber unless it is for real weight saving duty.

Laser lights don't do much here in north america since they miss the complete hardware that Euro model has to have full fonctionality and if only for looks well I ain't looking at my headlights while I drive so it doesn't bother me.

Understood.
You ain't looking at the paint while driving either, and from that perspective, same "functionality benefit" as the Laser Lights but you went for the good looks

Hehe you caught me a bit there but I do am looking at the paint on the hood and those beautiful hips when I use the car. I should of just said that I don't see the laser lights as a significant upgrade look wise.

I am pretty happy to have ordered a more basic spec, I love having heads up, power trunk and stuff in my X5 but in a car that I want to "drive" my focus isn't on guizmos anyways. If it be my only car and an auto Xdrive it would be different but I wouldn't probably buy an M3 as an only car anyways.

Just teasing!
A great looking car and the spec. I do agree on the headlights, though, I did get the Lasers...

Stunning color. Reminds me of BMW 8 series M8 Gran Coupe concept car.

HeelToeShift · 05-01-2023, 01:10 PM

Looks great! There's someone in town here with the same on an M5C. I have an M3 CS incoming but really hesitating whether it is worth it over my G80 M3 6MT (dravit/kyalami buckets) as I have grown to really love the car.

I'm not missing the CSL much, maybe the exhaust tone and the better steering feedback but for my use case the M3 is the perfect recipe.

HeelToeShift I will add that I also got offered an M3CS but I really wanted a Manual car this time around so this is my main reason why not to go with it. If this reason was out I am still not sure if I could swallow the 50k + luxury tax more for the same factory tuned car, I find the M5CS and CSL were much more special but I will keep final opinion when ppl can actually drive the M3CS.

How does the CS fit with your nickname?
