BMW M3 Homeware

Of the six cars here, the M3 is the only one whose colour is already a furnishing colour. Pale blue is something people put in rooms on purpose — in cushions, in paint, on walls. Red, yellow and racing green are not.

That gives this car a reach in homeware the others do not have. An E30 cushion can sit on an ordinary sofa in an ordinary room and read as a blue cushion first and a car second, which is either the point or a betrayal depending on your view.

The straight edges help too. Square products, square car.

BMW M3 Wall Clocks

Frame colour is chosen at the point of ordering, and the pale blue takes a dark frame better than a light one — without it the whole face drifts towards white and the car stops holding its edges. Quartz movement, AA battery, hook fitted at the back.

BMW M3 Pillows And Cushions

Available with a polyester insert or as a cover on its own. The pale blue is the reason this is the one car in the range whose cushion might survive contact with a room somebody else decorated.

BMW M3 Coasters

Sets of four, glossy faced with cork behind so nothing gets scratched. Small enough that the E30's flat front and four round headlights fill the square almost exactly, which is the neatest fit between car and product anywhere in this range.

BMW M3 Comforters

Twin through to king, double seamed and machine washable. This is the most liveable bedding in the range by a distance — the print is one side only, the reverse plain white, and pale blue at bed scale is simply not the imposition that red or yellow would be.

BMW M3 Throw Blankets

Fleece, one printed face, white reverse, machine washable. Lighter than the comforter and the more useful of the two in a room that is already warm.
