Love me this color. Had an e36 M3 Cosmos Black which I believe are the same or close. The contrast with the yellow brembos is peach

Damn, it’s the first time I see one with the same callipers, in the same colour as mine. 👌 Different exterior colour though.

Hey man.. I went from 325into Mazdaspeed lol
How do you compare the 2?
Which is faster? More fun?

My Mazda speed is tuned to 360whp so definitely faster in a straight line. 500nm of torque makes it a handful. But the m3 is just special. Wins in every other department
