Best color combination on E93 and production quantities?

kenton · 11-19-2016, 02:30 PM

I'm going to be buying a 2011 E93 M3 by the end of the year. Curious as to what people think is the best color combination. On the previous body style, I liked the space grey and fox red, but haven't seen it on the E92 but I know it was available. Also, does anyone know the production volumes of the different color combinations?

I like my Alpine White / Fox Red Extended combo.

Here is the best and rare combination, Dakar Yellow with black interior.

You're welcome! 6MT or DCT?

Mine is mineral white on all black with the carbon leather and extended leather. I thought it would be rarer than it actually is but I've seen a few examples online. I also contemplated getting white on red leather but I think looks good but I figured I would get tired of it.

If I could get any factory color I'd probably get frozen red or frozen white.

I never had a white car before so I'm partial to my opinion.

6MT

Mine's Interlagos Blue and black and a good looking car, but someday I'll have a yellow convertible. Like driving a piece of sunshine.

Heres general production numbers Kent. There is a detailed overview of NA cars and colours somewhere on the post, do some search and Im sure you'll find it.

I actually think for the e93 space grey with fox red goes very well. I always see white or black verts but for some reason SG seems pretty rare on the e93. But of course, color combos are purely subjective so get the color you like the most.

yahoo_mks · 11-20-2016, 09:30 PM

If you narrow down the colors you might like online, I bet you'll know what you like best when you see it in person.

I'm partial to Lemans Blue / Bamboo

Good luck!

Clearly the best is Jerez Black with Palladium Silver.

6ixSpd · 11-21-2016, 07:03 PM

Such a subjective question - what is the point?

USCTROJANSFIGHTON · 11-21-2016, 10:54 PM

Leman Blue

Haha, yes you certainly did

Hi Adam, great to hear from you! Your car looks fantastic and I hope you and your wife are having a blast with it.

BTW - I just got this one last week. Awesome condition and very low miles so I had to compromise on the non-speed yellow color.

flipwils11 · 11-22-2016, 08:02 PM

Beautiful, so two convertibles in the family now? Is the P-car in the 6MT club?

Yes, it is 6MT and honestly much better manual tranny than the 6MT in the M3, although I have not driven it much since my son (24) has hidden the keys from me. Right now he is having fun with it and most likely it will be his car as a graduation present. He has graduated with BS in Electrical Engineering and Physics and he is back in school doing his Masters. Also he has a part time Teaching Assistant job at the University. We still have a deposit for the M2 and hoping for an allocation for MY17 but we'll have to wait and see how things shape out with the LCI.
