Are ZCP M3's less desirable than normal ones?

        BMW has a LOT of blues that I prefer to interlagos.

        Interlagos feels like a bit of a weird hand me down blue from the e60 M5, that they felt compelled to add because they were dropping LSB. I prefer LSB, Topaz, LeMans, Avus, Atlantis, Estoril, etc.

        But, hey, tastes are subjective. My car is IR, which 8% of men can't even see

          I'm pretty sure the chart we need is by INTERIOR color... (jokes)

          I knew I would have a SMG Vert, and the interior would not be Black or Grey.

          maw

            as a deuteranope, I can tell you we can certainly see red- its just not apparently as red as everyone else's red.

              Interesting. For some reason I thought you saw IR and OG as ~the same color.

                In low enough saturations, they are very hard to tell apart. But full green vs full red are completely distinguishable.

                  Noticed some people say the parts they would add would be better. That means you still have to take parts off, and you’d easily get the $4k back selling off the ZCP wheels and CSL brakes. You’d still keep the CSL rack which is a huge plus back in 2006. Along with coding for that and M track mode. Which wasn’t readily available for a long time. You would still have exclusive Alu Tec interior trim. And although this next bonus doesn’t apply to many because of color preference. Getting Interlagos Blue not having to order similar through INDIVIDUAL save another $2,000-$5,000 grand there.

                  Granted “cruise control” immediately back then would still be an issue.

                    OG is a glorious beast of its own, not even an eyesight variation can tame it

                      I think my favorite combo on an E46 M3 is OG, gold wheels, with a cinnamon interior. I also like the ambers on this one to boot.

                        That's a weird, non-oe gold on there.

                        Oxford is a great, classy british color though unfitting to the m3. It's probably the slowest of all colors as well.

                          I love all three of those things, just not together. 😜

                          But similar to as someone said in a prior post, there is an ass for every seat and I'm certainly sitting in mine.

                            Seems legit.
                            Another Mystic Slicktop! Awesome. Mine is an 06 Original 6 speed on black manual seats

                              OG on Mtex is my ultimate dream spec. But seeing as there were 10 in the world and 4 of them RHD, I think my chances are low.
