Ok I got something new. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Took delivery on a new car today. I have only bought a couple of brand new cars in my life, but I really couldn't pass this one up. This is the only Mint Green M3 that came this color from the factory for the E92. Its not a color for everyone, but I sure like it.

I have an E46 M3 and now this E92. I love both, but for different reasons.

Pictures!

Very interesting color. I like it, but I imagine I'd get sick of it after owning it for a while. Can't say anything bad about the M3 though. It's a great car.

JustBoostin · 11-18-2013, 11:22 PM

That's definitely a unique color! Love it! It needs less orange sidemarkers though.

Kimsey47 · 11-18-2013, 11:30 PM

Our 1979 Ford F-350 custom farm truck has a similar color but they called it "sea foam green"

Seriously though, I like it... Wouldn't buy it myself as I'm too conservative but it really is a sharp looking car!

It really stands out in the pics too with all the monochrome'd cars in the showroom!

For some reason i really like it.

Grats!

While not my personal cup of tea, I can definitely give you ++ for an interesting color

One things for certain though, it's going to cause attention wherever you go ...whether its the man with the radar gun or the restaurant you vale at

Thanks for the comments. I think that the uniqueness of the color really hooked me. Knowing that this is the only one on earth kinda gets me going. I do really like the color though. I wasnt sure at first, but the more I saw the car, the more I wanted it.

My first thought? US Forest Service.

OMG love this.

Kelbyat07 · 11-19-2013, 12:31 AM

Congrats on being able to afford multiple cars. If you like the car then it shouldn't matter what people think. It's an eye catcher either way!

Very interesting - I'm not sure it would be my first choice, but I'd have to see it in person to make the final judgment. How do you feel about the handling compared to the E46? A former neighbor of mine has an E46, and likes to talk about how it is so much better than the "bloated" E92, but I suspect he's a bit biased in the matter (and you have to love the high-revving NA V8).

JDMenrique · 11-19-2013, 01:09 AM

wooooow... NICE!

JOSI · 11-19-2013, 01:16 AM

Reminds me of the Chasebay car.

Kelbyat07 · 11-19-2013, 01:54 AM

Never sat in one before, how fast is it?
