Color Selection

Red looks the best of all. It is exactly the correct shade/tone of red.

When we picked up my car at the tesla parking area, we looked at all the cars (a hundred at least). My wife was leaning toward getting a blue car but now wants a red one. I told her, no way we are having 2 red m3 cars.

Take an up close look of a dozen m3 cars (or more). The paint job varies greatly.

I'm hoping I don't run into any issues with a white on white. :|

The pic of the White on White M3P is why I have my current configuration. BUT...... I keep coming back to red.

After looking at the pics, I definitely like the white better now. You were right about the tints too.

I agree that the white exterior with tinted windows looks real sharp. However, if you get super dark tinted windows and you get the white interior, you are likely to run into issues with the white strip across the dashboard causing glare issues. Specifically, the white strip is reflected in the tinted window to the point where you are likely to have trouble seeing clearly out the window and your view of your side mirriors may be obstructed as a result.

Yeah I see what you mean. I like how the tints look but I wouldn't tiny my windows.

Black or white inside?

Black inside, didn't think the £1k was worth it.

Nice, congrats!

I went with blue/black.

The blue is definitely my favorite (red is a close second), but if you think the swirls will bother you, do NOT get the blue.

I can see them if I’m looking for them. They don’t bother me but they’re definitely there.

Blue is also my favorite color, but yeah I figured the swirl marks would drive me crazy.
