I know everyone here has seen a butt load of M3/4 pics but a friend of mine sent me a few pics of an M3 he saw in NJ.
Just thought i'd post them, someone might get a kick...

I appreciate any and all pics of the new m3

Sedan_Clan · 02-19-2014, 05:31 PM

The color looks phenomenal in those photos.

agreed. unfortunately it's not the most accurate representation.

Yeah, it seems that all of the press pics BMW put out show YMB darker than it actually is. If contrast and saturation are increased, YMB actually looks nice. Trouble is, under most lighting and to my eyes at the Chicago auto show, it's just a fancy baby blue. It's okay, but San Marino blue would have been much better. Even Estoril Blue is much more catching.

Why oh why BMW?!

It looks to me like the M3 didn't enjoy its visit to NJ very much. It seems pretty eager to get back in its stable.

Almost like Santorini here which would have been cool to offer.

I'm sorry sedan!!! If you put a single red light on the top you could use it as a squad car as a Michigan Trooper

Do you guys really have baby blue MST patrol cars?

It's metallic guys like all other metallic colors looks different in the light!!!!

ss134 · 02-19-2014, 07:51 PM

We all need to start being nice to the YMB guys! I for one acknowledge the balls it will take to drive around in a powder puff baby blue M3!
I take my hat off to you all

Yeahhhhhh! Be nice to us.

I think it'll be easier to drive this around than it was to drive my '03 PY/IR M3.......E46Fanatics' only 'Ronald McDonald' car. LOL!

ybbiz34 · 02-19-2014, 08:17 PM

I have a feeling YMB is going to be as popular as Estoril Blue II is with the F30.

BMW is really pushing YMB and AY. There really aren't that many colors to choose from with respect to the F80/F82.

positiveions · 02-19-2014, 08:29 PM

The more I see this color, the more I love it. Thanks for sharing.
