Awesome color. Please tell that's your significant other's selfie stick, please.

That's pretty cool. My black 135i is always black, at least when it is clean.

everytime I've made up my mind that I will keep my e90!!! I see a thread like this and making me change my plans all over again!!! nice car!

Appeltje · 05-08-2015, 09:13 PM

Beautifull color! Congrats and enjoy :-)

pruettfan · 05-08-2015, 09:22 PM

Awesome car, I have been waiting much longer than you and have a couple more years to wait but your story does a great job of explaining the excitement. Enjoy

It's really funny how light and white balance can change a photo. Congrats!

Agree on the colors. I thought the exact same thing. I kept looking at the original photos going , that's not how I remember laguna seca blue!

wolves · 05-08-2015, 10:38 PM

Gorgeous car and awesome history. Congrats!

tHrEwaROd6 · 05-08-2015, 11:07 PM

Great looking blue!

LDSM · 05-08-2015, 11:23 PM

Great color! looks perfect on the M3!

Are there really people that say Yas Marina Blue is the same as Leguna Seca Blue?

MFNATIK · 05-09-2015, 12:13 AM

Congrats and LSB is my favorite blue. I guess I can shoot to have first LSB F80 2016 LCI

tkordy · 05-09-2015, 12:53 AM

Great Story! Congrats

Warranty P · 05-09-2015, 02:23 AM

Just my opinion: X-drive BMWs are pretty much like driving F-150s. To jump into F80 after that must be GAME CHANGING.

FrankiE90 · 05-09-2015, 02:52 AM

How long was that morr group buy...

Lol. Got some good use out of those set of wheels.
Brushed face / black inserts.
The f80 m3 looks great - the rear quarters are perfect on the sedan.
U know ur a fellow veteran e90poster when have Picts of ur blacklines-

Danyutz · 05-09-2015, 03:31 AM

Congratulations! Very nice story.

Just don't put them MORR wheels on this one as well!

cruisinglife · 05-09-2015, 03:33 AM

Congratulations.

Falafel Combo · 05-09-2015, 05:44 AM

Paul, awesome awesome story! What a history!

Your LSB on Silverstone M3 is very unique and out of this world! Congrats on your new car!!!

Luminor513 · 05-09-2015, 06:21 AM

Great write up. Nice history of BMW's. LSB is definitely different than YMB, congrats and enjoy your individual F80.
