Re: Guess the car..
Dammit.. that’s page 2! 
Anyhoo, some have correctly surmised it’s a BMW.. however it’s not a black one! Actually, very little is black on it! It’s an IoM green M3 Touring with silverstone interior and silver wheels (admittedly it has black calipers).. picking it up next Friday

Nice! I imagine it will be pretty rare optioned with silver wheels.IanF wrote: Fri Aug 08, 2025 10:54 am Dammit.. that’s page 2!

I can also now recount the story about the iX. My son and I have a silly game where we each scream "aaaaaaah" every time we pass on iX on account of it being possibly the ugliest car ever produced. It is also known in our household as "the Beaver".

Nice colour! Love the IoM green, but I couldn't find one when I was looking for mine.IanF wrote: Fri Aug 08, 2025 10:54 am Dammit.. that’s page 2!

So good to see another not-black, silver or something in between colour being bought.

Nice. Silver wheels is the correct choice, well played.

Re: Guess the car..
They look incredibly fiddly to clean though - you may regret the silver! I'm thankful my multispoke GTS wheels are black...

Re: Guess the car..
a guy at my work has one that colour - i’m not keen on the green, but everyone else likes it!! We drove up to manchester in it the other day and it definitely went well!
Re: Guess the car..
God, M3 Tourings are so common around these parts.
Not like the exclusive, cultured choice of the Z4 Coupe
(good choice, good colour)

Where did you source your wheels from? I’m considering a winter tour and it’s on 4S’s currently, so may get a winter set.Ascender wrote: Fri Aug 08, 2025 11:12 amNice colour!

Re: Guess the car..
That green will always be the best colour for the M3. Noice 

Re: Guess the car..
I’ve not seen one in a bad colour yet. An excellent choice.

Re: Guess the car..
Cotswold BMW usually do the best prices I could see - they have a forum presence on m3cutters where they can do quotes if you post. Just got luck with someone on the forum selling a set of the CS wheels I was looking for.IanF wrote: Fri Aug 08, 2025 1:17 pmWhere did you source your wheels from?

@IanF - I think I have a spare set of rubber floormats going free if you need them.

Re: Guess the car..
There’s been other coupe’s on the forum so if you want rare you want the focus <jacked up but still definitely wrong wheel drive> 1l active. It’s exclusive, but definitely not cultured, fast or excitingBeany wrote: Fri Aug 08, 2025 12:34 pm God, M3 Tourings are so common around these parts.
