Colour guide
Solid - Alpine white
Free
The default choice for many, Alpine white does a good job of highlighting the muscular bodywork of the M3 and it contrasts nicely with the black exterior trim. Dirt and mud will be easy to spot on such a light hue, so be prepared to get the hose out on a regular basis if you want to keep it looking at its best.
Metallic - Aventurine red

Metallic - Black sapphire
£875
Black has always suited the M3 and this is true of the latest version as well. It looks very stealthy in metallic Black sapphire thanks to the dark exterior detailing, perfectly suiting the ultra-sporty nature of this M car. It won’t need constant washing to look good either, and should be popular on the second-hand market.
Metallic - Brooklyn grey
£875
Grey is always a popular colour and not only does Brooklyn grey look good on the M3, it’s also a no-cost option. There are more exciting colours to pick from, but this one’s great for those who prefer a more subdued look for their performance car while ensuring strong demand come sale time.
Metallic - Isle of Man green
£875
The Isle of Man conjures up images of superbikes racing down winding roads at breakneck speeds. Isle of Man green on the M3 doesn’t quite do the same thing, but it does give the four-door saloon a rather sporty demeanour. It won’t show up dirt too easily, but you may find that not many second-hand car buyers will be as keen on a green car as you are.
Metallic - Portimao blue
£875
Blue is always a winner when it comes to residual values, and the vibrant Portimao blue looks great on the M3. It is less fussy to keep clean than lighter colours and best of all it’s a no-cost option.
Metallic - Skyscraper grey
£875
Skyscraper grey has a slightly darker hue than Brooklyn grey, it too will do well on the second-hand market. That said, there are plenty more adventurous colours on offer here, so take a look at them as well before committing.
Metallic - Toronto Red
£875
Toronto red is the sort of colour that is as loud as your exhaust note. It definitely looks sporty, but may not be all that popular on the used car market. Keeping it clean will require a lot of effort, but it rewards you with a sparkly metallic finish that will definitely have heads turning.
Solid - Sao Paulo yellow
£875
The only other solid paint finish available for the M3, Sao Paulo yellow is quite possibly the most eye-catching paint job you can spec. It suits the sporty M3 well, but will require constant cleaning and may not be a big hit with used car buyers.
BMW Individual metallic paint - Dravit grey
£1,725
Dravit grey is more like an off-black thanks to its very dark hue. The metallic sparkles give it a nice shine in bright light, and it shouldn’t show up dirt and road muck all that readily. A good but pricy choice.
BMW Individual metallic paint - Tanzanite blue
£1,725
A dark blue paint job is always a good idea on a BMW and the M3 looks great in Tanzanite blue. It is not an ostentatious colour, but it shows off the M3’s lines to great effect and will definitely get you noticed. Especially if you spec it in conjunction with the Ivory White interior.
BMW Individual paint special - Custom
£4,385
Individual paint - Frozen Portimao blue
£4,385
The matte sheen on this paint colour looks especially good on the curves and creases of the M3. Like all the Frozen finishes it is one of the priciest options, but it certainly gives the car a distinctive look.
Individual paint - Frozen brilliant white
£4,385
Individual paint - Frozen pure grey
£4,385
The ultimate shade of grey for the M3 has to be this Frozen pure grey option. The matte finish looks seriously cool, although it can show up scratches and scrapes easily so be sure to always park as far away from the crowds as possible.
