So I'm currently in the process of switching from my e92 to an F30. The dealership just got in a Suzuka Grey on Coral Red M Performance Edition that i will be going to look at tomorrow.

I wanted to ask if anyone with Suzuka Grey has put painted reflectors on their car because that's likely one of the first mods i will be doing. If you have, were you able to find Suzuka Grey ones from somewhere or did you just use Alpine/Mineral white.

Thanks for the help!

You can probably custom order any colour from IND for reflectors. Instead of clicking add to cart on their painted front reflector page, click "Order Inquiry" and send them a message.

Or check with jbspeed. I needed sparkling graphite and I believe he had to get them custom done for me as this colour was not avail in the US on an f30 (phase 1 M performance edition individual colour)

On another note, I wish the Suzuka grey was available when I got my car. I would have gone with that for sure!

Thanks guys I will check both those places.

Yea Suzuka Grey is a pretty cool color. Doesn't photograph well at all but I've seen it in both sunlight and on a cloudy day and u do actually see the grey! excited to see how it looks with the CR interior as all the other ones at the dealership were black interior.

That must be a Canada-only color, because BMWUSA's website doesn't have it for the 3-series that I can find - and they don't list any "Individual" colors.

It actually isn't on the BMW Canada website either. on the invoice it just says "special paintwork" and then in options list it says Z70 - Suzuka Grey w/ Z7H Phase 2 only (Z7H is the code for the M Performance Edition)

Interesting...we don't have an "M Performance Edition" here in the US, either. For us, it used to be a "line" (like "sport line", etc.), and now, for 2016 and the 340i, it's a "package". Nice that you can get the Individual paint, though. Looking at 5/6 series, there are some nice Individual colors, but no Suzuka Gray, and they're pricey, as are the Individual leather options.

On top of that, the M-Sport Package here limits your color choices to Estoril Blue, Black Sapphire, Mineral Gray, Melbourne Red, and Glacier Silver for metallics.

I was told that now in Canada the 335 comes only with M-Sport. and then before the 340's started they did 2 phases of the M Performance Edition, the 2015's being the last phase. I'm not sure what they're doing for 340's in Canada if they have lines or everything is just M-Sport.

Here's a thread from THEWRKS of his Suzuka Grey. [http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...hlight=suzuka] My car will look exactly like this but with CR interior. As he said its very difficult to photograph the car but it looks great in person. his pics helped me a lot before i was able to actually go to the dealership and check out the color in person.

My other choices are Black Grey Metallic (also a "special paintwork" color) or Mineral Grey. That's what my dealership had left in stock. Should be interesting to see Suzuka and CR irl tomorrow.

Thanks for that link! Interesting color for sure...similar to a color that Audi offered on its TT Coupe back in the late 90s. Pearlescent light gray, as I recall. My 335i is Mineral Gray with the Coral Red, and we really like that red leather. I guess BMW Marketing figures nobody in the USA would go for it, especially in light of the fact that most dealerships stock only white, black, and silver cars, with the occasional exception of something in red or blue.

Nice car choice and colour mad villain, I got the same car but with black leather interior. They only made a limited amount of M Performance Edition with the coral red leather so you are lucky to have it. I personally like the Suzuka Grey with Black Interior.

I'm still waiting on delivery and the wait is killing me. I've been waiting since Sep 25 and still no exact date when the car is coming in. They said Mid October so I got a week or so left.

Let me know if you find the exact Suzuka Grey painted reflector and where you bought them from. I wouldn't mind changing mine out too.

Nice cars guys. I almost went for the Suzuka Grey when I saw the car in low light. The grey black in the sunlight solidified my choice though.

Hey bud, browsing through some older posts. Did you by any chance get the reflectors? Let me know if you did, I am eager to get mine replaced too! Thanks!

Hey, I haven't ordered them yet. I'm gunna wait until summer to get them but they have to be ordered from the US and i wanted a couple other parts too.

With the exchange rate it was working out to be very expensive when i inquired about ordering (i want front and rear reflectors in suzuka, double slat kidney grilles in black and the keyhole cover in suzuka).
