    Market Find: BMW Individual Frozen Black M3 Coupe

    What: 2011 BMW M3 Coupe
    Color: BMW Individual Frozen Black Metallic (frozenschwarz; metallic matte; U91; BMW)
    VIN: N/A
    Mileage: 87,000 miles
    Price: $34,000
    CarFax: N/A
    Window Sticker: N/A

    Special editions are always a bit of a grey area in the Tailored Driver world because to be honest, they’re usually just a ploy to move a few units with very specific options. This Frozen Black Edition M3 is the exception to the rule- just 20 were made for the US and if you wanted one, you had to call a hotline at a specific time to get it. Seriously. But while the method of initial procurement is now antiquated to the point of silliness, the M3 still looks incredibly modern. A high revving V8 is paired with the quick shifting DCT, and iDrive is present, meaning a CarPlay retrofit is an easy and worthwhile endeavor. Perhaps the best bit is the price. At $34k, it’s well within the ballpark of what a run-of-the-mill M3 would fetch in today’s market.

    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
    CarFax: Link
    Window Sticker: N/A
    Location: Scottsdale, AZ
    Listing: Hubbard Auto Center

    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.

  • Market Find: BMW Individual Santorini Blue M3

    Market Find: BMW Individual Santorini Blue M3

    No one does “where do they find this stuff?” quite like Enthusiast Auto Group, and this Tailored Driver is proof positive of that. One of an alleged 8 BMW Individual Santorini Blue E9X generation M3’s, this car has covered just 18,600 miles since new.

    We’ll get the EAG tax comments out of the way right now- yes this BMW Individual Santorini Blue (santorinblauii; non-metallic uni; 327; BMW) M3 (VIN: WBSKG9C52DJ594292) is priced at $99,900. And yes, that is the result of color, mileage, and the nearly blank-check refurbishment that EAG is known for. But the Enthusiast Auto Group provenance is music to the ears of those prospective buyers who demand the best and have the means to acquire it.

    For most of us, we’ll simply enjoy the view of this Tailored Driver and wonder what if. Because if we walked into a BMW store in 2013, we’d walk out having ordered something just like this.
