Photoshoot: Phoenix Yellow BMW E46 M3

Phoenix Yellow is a color we see so rarely that often we completely forget about it. The fact that it is unusual doesn’t mean it’s ugly, but it’s among the least popular BMW colors. Perhaps it would do better if it was called Gold.

The exterior color is actually quite pretty, especially on this BMW E46 M3. You could even say it matches the car’s perky character. This M3 runs on a 3.2-liter I6 engine. It offers two gear options – six-speed manual or SMG auto – and makes up for one of the most fun and exciting BMW cars.

The E46 M3 is perfectly fine with us, but there’s just something special in this Phoenix Yellow one that prevents us from looking away.
