Wow awesome car and the color combination is insanely gorgeous. I like the dual mode exhaust and it appears you do too. Congrats on buying a fine automobile.
M-B calls the color Selenite Gray.Love the color. I had a saab that was about the same color as that, always liked it...
Is it good old color # 172u? Anthracite Grey Metallic? It’s a nice color... been used for a long time.

I don’t hang out with either group. Too many posers.BMW M and AMG both have websites that offer private forums for their owners. However, I was never able to join the M owners group because I owned an M Performance model and not a "real" M car- never mind that the M Performance cars are prominently featured on the M site. In contrast, I was admitted to the AMG forum even though I own an AMG "lite"(no hand-built motor, for starters). Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but appreciated nonetheless.
We will see...I don’t hang out with either group. Too many posers.
We test drove a new 2022 M240i xDrive a couple of weeks before I bought the C43; my wife and I both agreed that it felt little different than my 2014 M235i- and it definitely did not look better.Nice car.
If it makes you happy, nothing else to consider.
I'll give the BMW E9x and that ilk credit for still feeling good enough for enthusiasts, even if the looks, inside and out, were a departure.
After that…it's like the company decided to turn its back on everything that made their cars distinct, and good. Overstyled, outside and in (awful instrutment graphics), and devoid of feel.
Thanks, I love the red interior, the last car in our family with a red interior was a black 1965 Mustang notchback my father bought in 1964. And yes, I still have the 318ti; I bought it new in November 1995 and I am NEVER selling it.I came here from the other thread to call you a gloater. LOL. That red interior is really sharp!
Does this mean that you need to change your name or do you still have the M compact car?
Thanks!Very nice! Love the color combo, looks sharp.
Good lort. This is why Im buying a Kia. Shame them all at the stoplight and no zipcode envy, rofl!BMW M and AMG both have websites that offer private forums for their owners.
