Not only are most purples dark enough to hide some of the M3\u2019s less sightly design elements but they\u2019re also characterful enough to make it interesting. Too often dark colors can hide too much, thus losing the character of the car. But purples tend to strike a nice balance of both for the M3. This BMW M3, painted in a lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/09\/27\/photo-gallery-bmw-740li-arrives-in-abu-dhabi-wearing-wildberry-paint\/\">Wildberry<\/a> Metallic, is a bit more vibrant than the typical purple M3s but it looks great.<\/p>\n<p>This is exactly the sort of color BMW enthusiasts should be speccing for their M3s. It\u2019s exciting and interesting and separates it from the sea of grey, white, and black M cars on the road. It seems that most BMW enthusiasts are colorblind and have no interest in getting anything other than monochromatic paints. So getting one in a color like Wildberry not only sets yours apart, it says something about you. It says that you care about your car and having something special.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_442463\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-442463\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-442463\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-830x554.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 G80 Wild Berry Individual 03 830x554\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-1534x1024.jpg 1534w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 G80 Wild Berry Individual 03 830x554\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-442463\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20554%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-830x554.jpg\" alt=\"BMW M3 G80 Wild Berry Individual 03 830x554\" width=\"830\" height=\"554\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-1534x1024.jpg 1534w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BMW-M3-G80-Wild-Berry-Individual-03.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW M3 G80 Wild Berry Individual 03 830x554\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-442463\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by instagram.com\/priceywithspice | instagram.com\/andrew.barker.bmw<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The specific BMW M3 in question is of the Competition flavor, which is the best kind. Its 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, which makes it an absolute monster. It\u2019s one of the most violently powerful engines I\u2019ve ever used and it packs the sort of mid-range punch you\u2019d expect from a much bigger powerplant. Some purists might bemoan its eight-speed automatic, as it\u2019s the only transmission option for the Competition, but it\u2019s the better powertrain. It\u2019s not only punchier, it has more power lower in the rev range, less lag, and better overall feel. You can tell BMW made that one first and the manual version second. It\u2019s also better with xDrive but we don\u2019t know if this car has it, because there are no visual indicators of all-wheel drive for the M3.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re going to buy a car as great as the M3 Competition, get it in a BMW Individual color and thank me afterward. It will make the ownership experience better while also making your car\u2019s value hold better.<\/p>\n<p>[Photos by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/priceywithspice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instagram.com\/priceywithspice<\/a>\u00a0| |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.priceywithspice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">priceywithspice.com<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/andrew.barker.bmw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instagram.com\/andrew.barker.bmw<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve long felt that the G80 BMW M3 looked best in purple.
