Official: 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe - Limited Edition of 30 cars (N.A. exclusive)

With the number of copy cat CSL's out here, and personally knowing a guy who spent nearly 15K turning his car into a copy of the CSL, yeah it would sell here. The reason they didn't sell it here, as far as I know, is due to emission issues with the engine.

Damn,it looks almost perfect minus those idiotic orange direction indicators .Well,rules are rules..at least for NA market

I would've sold, but since it was a limited run, I don't think it was cost effective for them to test it for NA emissions, and still turn a profit.

They will be sold in less than couple of hours. Lot of people in US buy for resale sake...add some premium and resell to some rich guy's kid who does not get the toy through routine channels. Those resellers are sitting by the phone as I type and will be first to call tomorrow.

Gone in less than 15 minutes. Exactly what I mentioned above regarding buyers aka resellers. That is why this is an insult for US BMW fans. Watch out on ebay for your next chance as these buyers will be selling there for premium.


Thirty 2011 M3 Coupes claimed less than fifteen minutes after lines open.

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 21, 2010… Less than fifteen minutes after the hotline opened to reserve one of only thirty 2011 BMW Frozen Gray M3 Coupes, each has been reserved for sale. Customers will be able to take delivery of the 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe through an Authorized BMW Center starting later this month.

“We leapt at the chance to bring this truly special vehicle to the United States,” said Larry Koch, M Brand Manager for BMW of North America. “The Frozen Gray M3 is a striking work of sculpture, speed, and style, and perfectly marks the 25th birthday of the M3 model. I’m personally thrilled to see that our customers are as excited about it as we are. We filled the thirty reservation slots within twelve minutes and took the names of at least fifty alternates in the first hour. The 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe will be one of the most unique BMW vehicles ever imported to the US.”


The 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe continues the tradition of innovation and passion for driving by incorporating key changes to the M3’s dynamic qualities. The Competition Package reduces vehicle ride height by 10mm and includes unique 19” wheels with wider offset for enhanced stability, standard Electronic Damping Control with enhanced programming, and higher-threshold programming for the M Dynamic Mode. The 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe is also equipped with the M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) which lowers the 0-60mph acceleration time of the M3 to 4.5 seconds from 4.7 (6-speed manual). As a result, the 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe will be the most dynamic and exclusive M3 ever to come to the United States.

The fourth and current generation M3 was introduced for the 2008 model year as a Coupe, Sedan, and Convertible, featuring an all-new 4.0-liter, 414-horsepower V8 engine with eight individual throttle bodies and an 8,400-rpm redline. Showcasing its remarkable performance envelope, the newest M3 Coupe serves as the basis for the M3 GT2 race car, which successfully competes in endurance races against the most exotic cars from around the world in the American Le Mans Series.

That's the sad part. But the saddest part is, it's not just the "resellers" who do this. Some shady dealers do it themselves as well.
