BMW M3 Coupe in Java Green

Looking for a special BMW M3 Coupe? Look no further than Munich. A local dealership is sporting a BMW M3 Coupe with one of the most interesting BMW Individual Colors we have seen: Java Green.

The Individual color showed up on our radar last year when a Moscow-based customer rocked the Java Green for the first time on an M3. Now, a new M3 Java Green shows up in Munich and the color is just as
eye-catching as the first time around.

On top of the unique color, the M3 Coupe comes equipped with the aggressive-looking Competition Package and inside, BMW offers the Individual upholstery Novillo Black with green contrast stitching. The surcharge for the exclusive and extremely rare color is 4,700 euros.


The M3 also sports the M Driver’s Package and the engine is matted to a dual clutch transmission.

Total price to be special? A mind blowing 102, 450 euros.

BMW M5 2011 news

BMW will launch the new M5 in 2011, the super saloon variant of the F10-series new 5-series family. Our artist's impression reveals how the hot Five will look at launch next March, after a show debut in late 2010 or early 2011.

We have the full four-page lowdown from Georg Kacher in the latest January 2010 issue of CAR Magazine, but here are some nuggets to whet your appetite:

• 4.4-litre V8 bi-turbo
• 578bhp, 530lb ft
• 155mph limited top speed
• 0-62mph 4.4sec
• Unlimited top speed 188mph

That direct-injection 4.4 lump is the same engine you'll find under the hood of the X5 M and X6 M, but further tweaked by M Division to liberate more power. Forced induction makes it the first M saloon to be turbocharged.

Will there be a new BMW M5 Touring?

Not this time. Dog owners in a rush will have to shop at the neighbouring Audi or Mercedes showrooms for RS and AMG variants.

We interview Klaus Draeger in the new issue of CAR Magazine, and he discusses the need to downsize and explains how even the new M5 will benefit from Efficient Dynamics.

New M5 cleans up its act

Yes, even BMW's fastest saloon now concentrates on lowering its CO2. Internal targets are gunning for a 30% drop in emissions and consumption.
