Mineral Grey 330d M Sport vs. Steel Grey E46 M3
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Full spec is: F30 330d M Sport Saloon N57T 3.0d Mineral Grey Black Dakota leather Media package - BMW Professional Multimedia Visibility package 19" M light alloy wheels Star-spoke style 403 M Adaptive M Sport suspension Variable sport steering Model designation deletion Sun protection glass Ext. mirrors - folding, auto dimming Seat heating, front Brushed Aluminium Trim Internet Telephone USB audio interface Mobile application preparation DAB digital radio It's absolutely very nice. And doesn't hang about either. Oh and the E46 M3 belongs to a mate. Interesting to see how similar Steel Grey and Mineral Grey actually are. |

That looks beautiful!!
I really wish they continued the 330 line over here in Canada and the States. What an amazing car.

Somebody park a Sparkling Graphite in the middle. I parked next to an F30 in Mineral Grey a couple of months ago and they were extremely similar IMO. Beautiful car you got though! I'd consider an F31 in Mineral Grey for sure.

E46 M3 is so classy! Still waiting to acquire one into my collection.

I agree with most of the other comments that the E46 is a sweater looking car versus the F30. If fact, I think it's best looking M3 ever created. I only wished that BMW could have kept that E46 model and drop the current M3 engine (8 cyclinders) in it.

I own both a Sparkling Graphite E90 M3 and a Mineral Grey F30 335i MSport. They are very, very close as well.

One thing I will say about BMW's design philosophy is that with each generation, there is still a hint of the previous car it replaces. Love that.
