> **Price** : $77,600 (including destination and gas guzzler tax)  
> **Exterior** : exclusive matte finish combining a Space Gray base and BMW’s ColorSystem silk matte clear coat  
> **Interior** : red Novillo leather and Competition Package  
> **Other Bits** : 10mm lower ride height, unique 19-inch wheels, a revised M Dynamic Mode and Electronic Damping Control  
> **Drivetrain** : 4.0-liter V8 remains unchanged at 414 horsepower, with grunt being sent to BMW’s M Double Clutch Transmission to net a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds

I am sure they won’t have a problem selling the 30 they are building

Yeah and a Base Z06 is 18k more then a base M3… This is a paint job for people that can pay to be unique.

I’m comparing a Z06 to this M3, not a base one. Unique, not really, more like every other faggot who sucks the matte/flat/satin cock

> BMW is apparently requiring all owners to sign a “maintenance agreement” that insists the M3 is never polished or waxed, ran through an automatic car wash or even strongly rubbed. Additionally, BMW politely asks that you immediately remove bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and fuel spills with a soft sponge, and naturally, dealers are more than willing to sell you appropriate products for maintaining the matte finish.
> 
> According to enthusiast site Bimmerfest, BMW explicitly states the M3’s warranty won’t cover any damage due to owner neglect and it notes that all exterior repairs must be performed by a BMW-authorized shop.

Best part is, if you don’t sign the agreement, they won’t sell you the car.
