    Market Find: BMW Atlantis Blue Metallic M3 Coupe

    What: 2013 BMW M3 Coupe
    Color: BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic ((atlantisblau; metallic uni; 399; BMW)
    VIN:  WBSKG9C56DJ594778
    Mileage: 37,600 miles
    Price: $92,500

    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Scottsdale, AZ

    Initially built by the obsessive minds at IND Distribution, this BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic M3 has just about everything you can do to an E9X M3. The subject of more than a few blog posts (like this one), both the history and modifications to this Tailored Driver are well documented. Perhaps it should not be a shock then, that even with a minor on the CarFax the asking price can be described as having a significant bump due in part to notoriety. So while this is in no uncertain terms the most expensive dual-hump DCT E9X for sale, whoever writes this check will also find themselves in one of the most sorted examples ever built.

    BMW’s Atlantis Blue Metallic is not exactly what we’d consider understated, but what it lacks in modesty it more than makes up for in dynamism. Appearing blue in low light, and bursting to nearly teal in direct sunlight, Atlantis looks right at home on the M3 Competition- especially when paired with the equally shouty Kyalami Orange seats. Normally a fan of gold wheels, we’re not sure they really work in this application, although that’s an incredibly easy fix. If you’re not afraid of a little unsolicited conversation, we think this Tailored Driver could be a great fit.

    While it’s easier to attain a Tailored Driver if your wallet is thick enough to require chiropractic intervention, we think it’s more fun when Tailored status is within reach of the everyman or woman. At €3,500 (about $3700 USD, plus shipping) this E39-generation 520i Touring painted in BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic and paired with the frankly wild Boa Boa cloth interior and a timeless 5 speed manual transmission is exactly that- fun. Consider it more of a starting point though, as the 520i isn’t exactly going to win any awards in the speed department, and the rear hatch will challenge even the most recent of tetanus shots, but the point remains. Some elbow grease, maybe a different motor, and this could be a sub-$15,000 Cars and Coffee award winner.
