I have managed to get a March build slot for an AWD M3 Competition in AR over Silverstone. Amazing colour and hoping for delivery early May.

Had originally ordered a manual G87 but disappointed in the available colours. Ended up having a choice of one colour, BSM, after seeing my original choice TR in real life.

Disappointed at first but really excited to own the M3 and will buy a "fun" manual when storage and funds allow. Had a lot of fun test driving a RWD G82 M4 Competition.

This will be my 5th M to follow a Z4M Coupe, E92 M3 & 2 F82 M4s.

Did any of the Aventurine builds get pushed out/delayed because of the exterior color?

My guess is no. I asked calbears, who is in the know, after BMW nixed further individual orders back in January.

His response was that AR is not considered a true Individual color and was still available. My Week 7 AR M4CX build was not effected and was built as scheduled.

When are you scheduled for production?

Thanks for the reply.
I was originally week 11 but got pushed to week 14. G80 Aventurin 6MT. As of now, still 112, hoping to see it move to 150 (later) this week

I am very pleased not have have an M4 in Ubiquitous Grey, Boring White, or High-Maintenance Black.

Seriously though, thanks to all you guys including you, Vic55, and TORM3NT for posting pics of your AR cars! It really played a big part in my decision.

Hey Jackie-

Congratulations! Beautiful car!

However, I didn't post any pics of my AR. Unfortunately...or fortunately, I have a "Ubiquitous Grey" or Dravit Grey...SEDAN!



With that said, I was in the hunt for an AR initially after seeing Vic55 M3. But, changed my mind afterwards after seeing the Dravit in person.

Personally, I think they are both incredible!

Once again, congrats! Enjoy her! She's gorgeous!

Hahaha. I was sure you didn’t have a boring color.

Honestly, Dravit Gray was my second choice. It’s a great color!
