Suddenly the car is a track monster, but not at all daily-driver friendly. Nor did the winner get to choose any of this stuff. So I've stayed away while this was going on.
Apparently people complained, because this year, they're back to a bone-stock M3 - but - it also has Individual paint, in a color called "Ruby Star Neo". Is it just me, but is this color downright offensive to the masses?

They COULD have included an Individual color - but let the winner pick it, then order the car and wait a few months. That would be a great solution. Or if it's important to them to be able to hand over the keys immediately, just go with some tamer color that would appeal to the masses. I can't see this Pepto Bismol-looking disaster appealing to many at all.

My preference would be that they gave you up to XYZ dollars to choose the BMW of your choice. I personally think the M3/4s have gotten to big. I would much rather have an M2 CS.
