Yes sir

Nice comparo!

Wow, that trunk spoiler really makes the car look so much better.

And those exhaust tips! Makes the OEM ones look almost unfinished.

JTO24 · 04-04-2015, 10:31 AM

I prefer Yas

GOLFFRR · 04-04-2015, 10:52 AM

tough choice! both look great IMO. nice capture these photos are great

Colinv6 · 04-04-2015, 12:02 PM

Yas for me!

SMC23 · 04-04-2015, 12:14 PM

At first I when I saw that other Violet Blue thread I was like this is he color id go with if I were to do an I individual. Now that I see it against the YMB the violet blue is not as striking. Actually prefer the Yas!

Colinv6 · 04-04-2015, 12:20 PM

On a side note, I love seeing M3's with the silver wheels. They look brilliant. Bit fed up with seeing the black ones now

phoenx · 04-04-2015, 12:54 PM

Yas looks good but I'd take Violet blue.

couldn't agree more.

Both blues look great thanks for sharing...silver wheels make the violet look a bit sportier imho.

personally, I'll run silver wheels on dark color cars and dark wheels on lighter cars ... unless I feel ghetto, than I'll murder out my car

I've never been a fan of black wheels, makes the car look dull to me.
Ordered my AY with the silver 19s....almost every one I've seen pics of has black wheels so mine will be different

JustChris · 04-04-2015, 03:13 PM

Nice thanks, your exhaust looks bigger in comparison Tony

///BMW (+) · 04-04-2015, 04:24 PM

what exhaust on the YMB?

Black wheels always look like someone stole the hub caps, IMHO

chris s · 04-04-2015, 05:23 PM

Wow, love seeing this side by side comparisons. I've gotta say, this makes me like yas that much more. I love violet blue but finding it hard to justify the 5k premium in this case...

Alen E90 · 04-04-2015, 05:33 PM

They both look soooooo good IMO!

Seriously though, thanks for the comparison. This violet only makes me want to see an F80 in Techno Violet...

KayMo · 04-04-2015, 06:05 PM

love the violet blue but the exhaust tips on the YMB doe

I agree, I need a contrast of color with wheels

Violet Blue is sick. ....but again these pics help further validate my choice of YAS

Nice catch!
