Talk about a car that BMW fans couldn’t be without. After making a hot line available to potential buyers, BMW sold all 30 Frozen Gray M3 Coupes in less than 15 minutes.

“We filled the thirty reservation slots within twelve minutes and took the names of at least fifty alternates in the first hour. The 2011 Frozen Gray M3 Coupe will be one of the most unique BMW vehicles ever imported to the US,” said Larry Koch, M Brand Manager for BMW of North America.
