There are two versions to boot. Dakar Yellow (Code 267) for the 3.0 liter cars and Dakar Yellow II (Code 337) for the 3.2 liter cars. As for the Frozen Gray paint it would not be a choice for me but to each his own. What I don't understand is people attacking it. It was obviously never intended for the general M3 buyer nor was it designed as a color for a daily driven car. These kind of exclusive cars help perpetuate the product in design and in the eye of the public.
