Kiwi interior on the PY is the ugliest thing known to mankind.

Depends on the market. Definitely not the case in my area. Going by production numbers there are more PY than LSB. But maybe LSB change hands more often.

for sure. I was referring to the north American market. USA and CA. I believe there were a lot more PY cars in Europe too.

there were only 34 PY on kiwi coupes imported to usa/ca and of those, 4 were for the usa.

PY on kiwi is one of those combos that I can't help but love. Everything in me says it should make me squeamish but I just think it's cool.

Happy Friday. I love my diarrhea green or vomit yellow. Whichever one y’all prefer.

Ill see your vomit yellow

and raise you the diarrea green

seems like PY cars are way harder to find than LSB.

I would say LSB and PY were pretty iconic for the E46, especially since they were featured in all the marketing. But coming from the E36, those launch colors were sooooo outside the norm for BMW. Those colors certainly were not received well by the masses as clearly evidenced by the production numbers. I don’t know know which I like more to be honest. Both are “iconic.” I’d take either or and be thrilled. Finding a clean, late model year example remains the challenge.

This was on bat. Some guy in FL bought it and swapped the smg.

Things got a bit spicy in here, though I could tell some people were holding back a bit and we appreciate that. Edited several posts. Let's keep trying to keep disagreements respectful, especially over something like color!

special and iconic e46 m3 colors. Didn’t know they meant different

I’ll ask again, which e46 m3 color is most iconic to you?

I’d say the ones that were unique to the car— IR, LSB, and PY. Those are also the 3 colors that BMW made M3 specific matching interiors for.
As they owner of a Japan red (standard e46 red) e46 also (wagon), they’re pretty hugely different colors.

BMW absolutely used IR for promo photos from back in the day (someone said at one point that they didn't):

I believe that car was on M3F for 30k and as an SMG just under 2 years ago. That color is really special.
