This 2017 BMW M3 found its way into the Bavarian automaker’s Abu Dhabi showroom via a special order.

The customer went with a clean look, with no AC Schnitzer custom bits (as we frequently see over there) and a rather rare Speed Yellow BMW Individual colorway, which is a fresh departure from the likes of the more popular Austin Yellow.

Styling-wise, the car has the Competition Package which includes machine polished 20″ wheels, black chrome exhaust pipes and a black finish for the kidney grille and side gills. Inside, the pack adds lightweight M sports seats with extra support and seat belts with woven-in BMW M stripes.

The Competition Pack also raises the power to 450 PS (444 HP), while the tuned Adaptive M Suspension features new springs, dampers and anti-roll bars as well as reconfigured driving modes to handle the car’s slightly enhanced characteristics.

Speaking of which, thanks to the previously mentioned package and the DCT dual-clutch gearbox, this M3 is capable of blasting past the 60 mph (96 km/h) mark in just 3.8 seconds – and that’s about as quick as a Mercedes-AMG GT S.

All that aside, how do you feel about the Speed Yellow & black finish combo?
