Market Find: BMW Individual Mint Green M3 Competition
Will·
There's not a lot wrong with being loud and proud in the world of Tailored Driver, and this M3 Competition found via M3List at BMW of Columbia Missouri is proof of that. The topic of looks has been beaten to death, resurrected and beaten a few more times so rather than focus on the subjective, we'll turn our eye to the combination of BMW Individual Mint Green and two-tone Silverstone and Black leather.
Market Find: BMW Individual Atlantis Blue Metallic 325i Convertible
Will·
Our own biases lead us to suggest that the e46 generation of BMW 3-series is one of the most complete enthusiast platforms that can be had with relatively little money. Big statement officially over, this incredibly cool 325i has quite a lot to like. Atlantis Blue Metallic may be the headline, but we'd be remiss if we overlooked the seemingly great condition, low mileage, and incredibly cool ZHP cube interior trim that's been tastefully retrofitted.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Lava Grey 911 Turbo Cabriolet
Will·
We've said it before and we'll say it again- pre-facelift 997 Turbo models are a downright bargain when compared to many their 997.2 siblings, as well as most else in their price point. This one, finished in Paint to Sample Lava Grey which later became a 997.2 color) has a LOT going for it.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Deep Green Pearl Effect Cayenne Turbo
Will·
Borrowed from group mate Audi and added to the formal Paint to Sample offerings in 2023, Deep Green Pearl Effect is a stunning and highly dynamic shade of green. Dark and traditional in the shade and highly bright and metallic in the light, Deep is a personal favorite- bolstered further in this instance by Truffle and Cohiba Brown two-tone leather.
Market Find: Audi exclusive S5 Sportback in Kyalami Green
There's something very Goldie Locks about the Audi S5 Sportback. It's hotter than the budget A5 and a little more attainable than the RS 5. In a lot of ways, it's "just right". Add in a rare Audi exclusive color and goldie gets a little hotter... err... also greener in this case.
Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Signal Yellow Cayman GT4
Will·
Could this Paint to Sample Signal Yellow Cayman GT4 be the sign you need to get in the Tailored Driver game? We certainly think so. Bring a Trailer power-seller 911R is representing the car, meaning the photos are incredible, the driving video is angry, and the listing is quite thorough.
Market Find: BMW Individual Verde Mantis Alpina B7 xDrive
Will·
Subtlety be damned, this Alpina B7 xDrive finished in Verde Mantis has the makings of a Tailored Driver classic. Alpina being a Tailor in its own right, this highly massaged 7-series ticks a lot of boxes for us; very luxurious cabin, 600hp under hood, and very loud exterior color- custom ordered, naturally.
Market Find: 2021 Audi exclusive S5 Sportback in Dark Red Mica
Nowadays, black optics seem almost ubiquitous wherein chrome optics take on a quality of rarity. Under such conditions, finding cars that simply haven't been murdered out by the factory almost seem to have a fresh quality to them.
Market Find: BMW Individual Daytona Violet Metallic M3 Competition
Will·
In certain circles, paying up to get your new Tailored hot rod painted purple would be looked at as a downright strange choice. Fortunately this is not one of those circles, and Daytona Violet is not a color to be underestimated. Occurring for one wonderful year during the E36 M3's run before being replaced by the slightly different but just as cool Techno Violet, Daytona has become a favorite of enthusiasts and BMW themselves in recent times.
Market Find: Totally Not Merlin Purple Audi exclusive RS Q8
When we find mislabeled cars, we tend to approach them with mixed feelings. On one hand, we wish there were an easier way to verify colors for dealerships not completely in the know to the ins and the outs of special order paint cars. On the other, it’s a challenge to spot them and can be a total find when you realize you know something others do not.
