Laguna Seca Blue M4 and E46 M3

CryptChappy · 01-12-2015, 05:34 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Finally was able to get both my cars in a photo shoot together. My new 2015 M4 in Laguna Seca Blue and my 2002 M3 in the same color. The E46 was my inspiration to get the same color, and after a 4 month wait it finally came.

The M4 is the first in the US. My 2002 E46 only has 17k miles and is in mint condition, a perfect stable mate to the new M4. I will answer some questions if anyone has any. Hope you all enjoy. I want to also give Thanks to Glenn A Miller Photography. Glenn hooked me up right with these great photos.

To answer some questions:
*The M4 is a $80,285 build, Manual, Exec, Lighting, Adaptive Suspension, 19" black wheels, HK, Side Cameras, black grills, Black Interior, The paint was a $5000 option.
*The Laguna Seca paint is non-metallic on both cars.
*The person driving the car in the photos is my wife. This is primarily her car. (Yes she drives stick, and this is her 4th M car, 2 M roadsters and another M3)
*The M4 is bigger, and feels it too, but just as good of a driving experience.
*The photo gallery was done by Jason of Bimmerpost, he reached out to me to do a feature.
*The M3 is a Manual, slick roof, over gray interior. I am the second owner, I purchased it in August last year from the original owner, as an investment. Its not currently for sale, but will be eventually.
*These are 2 of 5 cars we have currently. 2 other BMWs, and a Ferrari. And this is the 15th BMW we have owned in the past 6 years. We don't keep cars long...
*You probably will never see any of the cars at any local shows, mostly because I work all the time. I do however attend Cars and Coffees on Sundays in Annapolis, but I usually take my Ferrari.

Very nice!!!

Blindside_137 · 01-12-2015, 07:09 PM

Awesome! Great to see them both, both look excellent, and I think LSB is working better on the F82 than it did on the E92

damnitBobby · 01-12-2015, 07:16 PM

Looks fantastic! Thanks for the photos!

Merli · 01-12-2015, 07:19 PM

Love LSB

How did you do that gallery presentation?

Insureit1 · 01-12-2015, 07:22 PM

Love it! Why have I not seen you driving around Annapolis

I know those roads and will be on the lookout

GOLFFRR · 01-12-2015, 07:25 PM

I can see the pics now

very cool! 17k miles that is basically brand new still!

bmbob · 01-12-2015, 07:27 PM

That's awesome!
The E46 really makes the M4 look big or vice versa, didn't realize the size has changed that much..

Powerbeast · 01-12-2015, 07:40 PM

Beautiful pair, only 17K on the E46? Basically a new car! Original owner?

Pinkoboe · 01-12-2015, 08:24 PM

That is perhaps the best color yet on an M4. I had originally thought it might look dated, as I associate that blue with the E46, but it is just perfect.

Congrats!

Definitely lsb over ymb.

On my screen, the cars look more santorini blue than LSB but looks awesome nonetheless.
