Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
Nope. It's the second one in the world.

Now you must buy my J's Racing brakes or give me an //M umbrella.
SC_IS;776990 said:Ok, just so everyone knows, that Valencia Orange E92 M3, the only one in the world, atleast at the moment. Is going to be sold VERY soon as I know we have some offers or it. So if the thread starter is keen, now is probably a good time.

Well, I get the factory black Y rims as an enticement. They complete the look. The silver stands out too much imo. Now where do I get the black grill and side indicators...?

Actually I think our car might have been ordered before that car. But yes now there's 2 boss.
still thinking about the brakes. The rims won't clear based on offset.
Champwhite: are you the gentleman negotiating the deal with James n Justin? You can get "Black Chrome" BMW Original part Kidney Grilles and Side Indicators from us.

Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
Kinda agree with Clar..a VO M3 doesn't really stand out..looks better on a smaller 1M. IMO a Alpine White, Frozen Grey and Atacama Yellow will be my top choice colour for the M3. But its all a personal preference..

Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
There's nothing wrong with selling the e93 for a e92 if you really like the specs on the e92. I've owned a e93 and changed to e90. In between while waiting for the e90 to be delivered, I drove the e92 and really felt the difference between the e93 and e92. it's quite obvious at any speed you can feel the extra weight on the e93, especially on b-roads.
VO on the M3 and on the 1M are quite different when being compared. Definitely can't be mistaken. In terms of size, the M3 is a lot bigger than the 1M and also the body lines are very different. It really depends on your own preference.
good luck on your decision...

Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
Frozen colors is always different, attractive and stand out from the crowd... but it isn't as easy to maintain as every say it is... there will always be chemical stains left on the paint and nothing can remove it... although it might not be so visible but it's definitely there. also, not to forget about stone chips. once the paint is chipped, it becomes metallic and good luck in getting it re-sprayed to match the original paint when you sell it...
Champwhite;776932 said:Sure? I heard from MA that hairlines show up more clearly in frozen colors. And you need a different type of wax for it. Ya, that said, it's very "chio". The interior of the one I saw had extended leather with white stitching to match...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I felt the same way when I drove the e90 and you have validated it. Cheers!

Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
It's better in real metal. Photos just cant seem to bring out the VO color. Anyway, there was a yellow (not sure what yellow but it's quite a strong yellow) one there but I think VO looks better. Ya, frozen white was my first choice... pity.

Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
I am not sure why u say this, from experience? My personal experience indicates that frozen colours are effortless to maintain. It's the easiest colour to maintain by a long shot. I don't do anything, no waxing, etc...I send it for manual car wash at the Caltex station along Alexandra road that's all. The paint job hides dirt very well and there is no water mark. I like it so much i have 2 oredi. In fact, my next M car will still be FG. I have not had enough of it yet

Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
yes, by experience... some has different views then others. I am glad you have not had any issues with your paint...
as much as i love frozen colors, i am also considering a frozen white for my next car, but it does take a lot of effort to maintain the paint... and it's not easy to recover if anything goes wrong

Re: M3 In Valencia Orange?
I see what u mean. I think it boils down to definition of maintenance. I generally refer to it as day to day living with the car, which includes dealing with the rain and dirt. I used to own a jet black car and it was a beauty when washed (or waxed), but a piece of shit if u put it through a light drizzle. For physical damage, i tend to look upon it as being equal matt paint or not as in both cases, u are likely to have to re-spray the affected surfaces. For light damage like minor scratches, frozen colours hide them pretty well.
