  • Market Find: BMW Individual Wildberry Metallic M3 Competition

    Market Find: BMW Individual Wildberry Metallic M3 Competition

    What: 2024 BMW M3 Competition
    Color: BMW Individual Wildberry Metallic (metallic UNI; T09; BMW)
    VIN: WBS43AY06RFR72756
    Mileage: 22,138 miles
    Price at Time of this Writing: $96,000
    CarFax: Link
    Location: Federal Way, WA
    Auction listing: West State Motorsport

    In our minds, BMW Individual’s Wildberry Metallic is just about as good as it gets. Not too serious, yet absolutely sinister, it’s a juxtaposition that works incredibly well on M cars across the Tailored spectrum. And while this is an incredibly attractive hue, we do wonder if pairing it with Fiona Red interior was the move. Generally speaking, we like to pick a lane- either the outside is loud, or the inside is loud. The M3 Competition doesn’t exactly follow that ethos, which to be fair is not everyone’s cup of tea. So it begs the question, is this $96,000 M3 a 10 out of 10 or will you wait for the next Wildberry?

  • Market Find: Q by Aston Martin Zaffre Blue Vantage

    Market Find: Q by Aston Martin Zaffre Blue Vantage

    What: 2019 Aston Martin Vantage
    Color: Q by Aston Martin Zaffre Blue Metallic (metallic UNI; AM6030; Aston Martin)
    VIN: SCFSMGAW5KGN01180
    Mileage: 22,622 miles
    Price at Time of this Writing: $96,500
    CarFax: Link
    Location: Federal Way, WA
    Auction listing: West State Motorsport

    We’ll be the first to admit it- of all the Tailors featured in our regular rotation, Q by Aston Martin generally isn’t one of them- and that’s a shame. Aston is, after all, a legendary brand that makes a stunning car which also happens to depreciate like a rock. This particular example, finished in the absolutely stunning Zaffre Blue Metallic is just $96,500. Sure it’s 6 years old, sure it’s done 22,622 wonderful miles, but we’re talking M3 money here for something that’s sure to turn more heads than a BMW sedan ever could. With a clean CarFax and the much, much more reliable AMG V8 under hood, and an asking price that wouldn’t begin to touch a Paint to Sample 911 of similar vintage, this Aston is well worth a good hard look.

    Why we love it:

    We’ve always loved the ‘LEGO’ nature of Volkswagen Group vehicles, which has allowed for some wildly inventive and impactful OEM+ upgrades on platform share vehicles over the years. With a catalog of hits as deep as theirs, it can also extend to colors as well, which is exactly what we’re presenting in this Tailored Driver. Lamborghini’s Balloon White is used as a subtle differentiator on this RS 7, further bolstered by a vibrant Audi exclusive red (exact shade undetermined) extended leather found within. Tasteful modifications are featured throughout, making this Tailored Driver the ultimate expression of the very concept this site was founded on.
