Yup! Both amazing colors.

Le Mans all day!

I'm a huge fan for LSB. Hopefully should make an appearance on the next shoot.

It's a shame that the medium blues are so inaccessible (have to pay $5k and wait several extra months on the F8x, or forgo the M-sport Pack on the F3x).

Agreed; BMW and their tactics.

It also comes to luck and location. I didn't wait too long for my Santorini.

Me too!

But Tanzanite doesn't qualify as a "medium" blue to me; it's practically black in the shade. Tanzanite looks incredible in the sun though. Estoril has the opposite problem; dandy in the shade, but totally washes out into a 'candy' blue in the sun.

Tanzanite might make an appearance on the next shoot.

It was definitely a fun time. The sick photos was just a bonus.

So wait you guys all just met up because you all have blue cars?

To each their own and yes.

LSB maybe, LBB might be a stretch. Check out BarronM 's instragram. I believe at some point he did a comparison between his and a LBB M2.

It is really nice to see the compare and contrast between them. The First photo of YMB has the washed out look yet the others don't, I have YMB and i get this on my own photos as well. It doesn't appear that the other colors do this, must be the color and the "pinkish" metallic flakes that do this.

To the YMB hater poster........don't hate......YMB owners lives matter!

All the colors aren't the easiest to take pictures of, especially with a phone. They all create challenges, but seeing them in person helps .

If you guys want a lowly e92 m3 Interlagos blue, I'd love to join.

[jstnstr]

The world needs more interlagos.

[Porsha]

As someone who will be ordering a custom blue, thank you for this. Fantastic pics.

[INDVDL///M]

Great work on the photos! These blues are killer!!!

Thanks for the feedback!

I have Jerez right now and I definitely would be interested in something that is a bit easier to maintain. I love Le Mans blue, but I feel like it might be the same challenge.

What is the name/brand of the wheels on picture number four?

[jose_sonictuning]

Great shots!!!! Man, makes me want to get a blue...any blue...just so I can get an invite!!!! LOL!!!

[BMWM5NYC]

I have a Monte Carlo Blue M5 if you want a "Big Brother" to join the shoot

Those are Jeff's BC Forged RZ-05's, and as a matter of fact the owner of that beautiful Santorini Blue car has them posted for sale right here:

That is Le Mans Blue, I had the same in my 2011 BMW 335i M-Sport and loved it. Now I have 2015 BMW M3 Yas Marina and like it too! But that Le Mans Blue looks great on F80!

[Zoli007]

Awesome pics I would have loved to join had I not been several states away.
