BMW M3 Coup� sold out (UK)

The UK�s allocation of BMW M3s has sold out. Some 700 cars were reserved for UK buyers for 2007, and they�ve all gone. Each car was ordered with an average of �4700-worth of options � taking the averge price of the car up from �50,625 to �55,325.

The most-wanted option is apparently the 19-inch alloy wheels � the very same wheels that BMW�s chassis people reckon do nothing for the car�s dynamics.

One of the next most popular options was the DAB digital radio.

In 2008, sales are expected to top out at around 2000 cars � demand for the last M3 peaked at 1800 cars a year. The new saloon and coupe-convertible versions of the M3 will add to that tally.
