A bit odd - a late car, seemingly not a special edition, but in Macau blue a special edition colour. Has it been resprayed?

I thought it looked nice, but then mysterious!

No feedback left or given on the Europameister either.....ODD?

I have bought some wheels off this guy via ebay so will be heading down
to collect them soon. If you are thinking of purchasing it and would like
to ask some specific questions then let me know. Keep it simple though I
am not very knowledgable.

I have encountered this bloke before.

 

He buys and sells M3's, pretty sure his name is Steve Webb.

Is it a Europmeister with changed wheels/steering wheel/engine?

Is the seller sure its not a 195bhp engine?

I love macau blue and was very tempted, but just seems strange that it has that colour combo considering Macau only came on special edition or evo cars.

He's actually selling the correct wheels seperately on ebay aswell.

...hmmm!

Danny...if you get a look when you go down please give me a quick message about how it looks.

If this is the same guy who had the europmeister then i think he def likes to deal in them. I was enquiring about the car and told him I had a cecotto. All of a sudden he had a mate who specifically wanted a macau cecotto and wanted to buy it off me.

If that's the case seems a shame to split the wheels from the car but I suppose that's the seller's perogative. Anyway is it (or was it originally) a Europmeister or not I wonder..................?

Could it just have been a special order M3? Surely if you were willing to spend the money, BMW would paint the car any colour you wanted?

Sure way to find out, get the last 7 digits of the chassis number and enquire with BMW.

Anything's possible of course but in those days I don't think BMW were that keen to allow too many special orders particularly for paint. Also it rather runs against the (then prevailing) notion of the special  colours on the special edition cars; if anyone could choose any colour for any car this would make the latter less 'special'.

I appreciate now of course the buyer decides (to an extent) and has more choice, at a price.
