LSB M3 Production Info

Crazy. So my car is one of 20. Guess I shouldn't crash it.

This thought crosses my mind more as the years go on, I desperately need a daily 😂

I don't daily mine anymore but I'm still going to keep tracking it. It would be a shame to not put to use.

Just buy another E46 M3 as a daily driver, problem
solved!

Good news—there was more data out there to be found. I will add this to the above tomorrow, but here is the answer to your question (and a bit more):

LSB / Black Nappa / Slicktop: 20 manual; 12 SMG
LSB / Impuls Cloth / Slicktop: 28
LSB / Cinnamon / Slicktop: 2

*Note: Unclear if the Impuls and Cinnamon cars are manual only, or total production, numbers. I would hazard a guess that they are manual only numbers, but I’ve hazarded incorrectly in the past.

LSB4Me, do you know where I could find similar info for other colors? I have a Carbon Black/Cinnamon slicktop SMG, and am about to purchase an Imola/Black 6MT vert. I am guessing the first one is relatively unusual, and the second is more common.

Looking at the stats, it means there was no LSB with M-Texture interior ever made??

Just bought a 2003.5 LSB/LSB 6mt. Miss my 2001 LSB/Black 6mt. Santa was early this year

Is there a breakdown of Laguna on cinnamon by model year?

Just stumbled across this thread while doing some research on my car which is according to M registry is an initial production dealer demo car and likely in this photo.

Anyone know how many initial production dealer cars there were?

my preferred combo, seeing how my car has a black swapped interior and could do with a new headliner, I’m seriously considering having mine converted to cinnamon.

100% of the initial intro demo cars that went to dealers were LSB.

Wow 400 is more then I would have thought and represents a sizable portion of the LSB cars sold.

I also found out that my car was originally delivered to my (now) local Dealer which is pretty cool.

Is that 50 cars? 100? Just curious. I also found out that my car was originally delivered to my (now) local Dealer which is pretty cool.

How many BMW dealers are there in the U.S.? 300+?

The dealers I visited had more than one demo LSBs.

I think Sickfinga on Maxbimmer forum told my previous LSB was 1/400 HEA package
