MUNCLE MIKES COLLECTOR GUIDE

2010 BMW M3 — 2011 T9696 Y5

Pearl-white paint leaves the M3’s hood vents and printed headlights easy to spot. The Y5 wheels are the key detail on this version. Their split pattern differs from the straight spokes of the separately documented white 10SP car.

Choosing one for your collection

Check the front bumper corners, the BMW badge and the bright wheel finish. Ask for a side-on wheel photo if the design is hard to distinguish in an angled listing image.

The pictured loose car has Y5 wheels. It is not a reference photo of the white 10SP variation.

Collector questions

Are all white T9696 cars the same wheel version?

No. The catalog records Y5 and 10SP versions. Compare the spokes rather than relying only on T9696 or the pearl-white paint.
