Congrats buddy! Always love Laguna Seca Blue, and it looks awesome on the F80.

Beautiful colour! I have a friend that used to have a M3 E46 convertible in Laguna Seca blue. One of the most beautiful BMW blues..

Xerxes480 · 10-07-2015, 11:33 AM

Thank you for sharing. LOVE that color. I especially liked the pics with your car and the SO M3 (exactly what I have

) together!

LSB is strong, bold, and embraces the essence of a sports car.

I've always enjoyed reading others' ED journals and have always wanted to do an ED myself. So I used the opportunity to take the family on a European vacation with stops in Salzburg, Neuschwanstein, Lake Como, Lucerne, Strasbourg, the Nurburgring, and finally Paris.

Enjoy!

Stunning! What a great color choice! This should be a standard option.

My ED is in 12 days! Can't wait.

I notice you have Michelin tires? Did you special request that as part of the Individual package, or BMW is back to using Michelin after a little round on the Continentals?

And how's Lucerne? I have never been there and it's on my way. I'm assuming the road to Lucerne and around the lakes is worth the detour. I'll be heading south to northern Italy and the French Riviera after that, and then Loire and Paris to drop it off there as well.

I think BMW just used Contis during the shortage they had. Hopefully yours will have the PSS as well. I've had the Contitact 2s in the past and they were horrid. Upgraded to PS2, PSS, and then PS AS3 and all three tires were better than those Contitact 2s.

I only stopped by the Swiss Lion for a pic as I was so annoyed at the VERY low speed limits that I just wanted to GTFO of Switzerland and back into Germany ASAP lol. The Swiss passes are truly a sight to see but when I came thru the weather was rough (rain and foggy) so I had to skip it. I had already driven another pass in the same conditions and it wasn't fun.

Hahah, I was walking down the street one day and witnessed a Smart Car crush its bumper against the car in front while trying to squeeze out of the parking spot to leave. It made a terrible crunching sound

Yeah, I am not into green colors either. I think green is probably the hardest color for any BMW to pull off. Though Signal Green has worked well for the past 2 M3/M4 bodies.

No regrets on LSB but if I had to order another M3, I think I would give Evergreen a shot

Mmmm, nah, you made the right decision. It's not even close

If I absolutely had to go with green, I think I'd go with Mint Green. I think it looks great on the E92, but don't know how it would look on the F80

Like I said, of all the possibilities when you are dropping $5k on Individual paint, I don't think green would get my pick.

Yeah, I agree. Green isn't as cool as blue ha-ha. Good discussion
