Father & Son: Fire Orange and Mexico Blue M3’s

Colinv6 · 05-13-2018, 01:39 PM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

So my Dad picked up his brand new Mexico blue M3 the other day. Between us we are huge fans of this gen M3, my dad having had 3 now, alpine white/sakhir, Yas Blue/amaro and now Mexico/Silverstone, and myself having a Silverstone/Silverstone before my Fire Orange/Black.

Today was lovely and sunny so we met up and got some pics of the cars together, It’s so hard to get Mexico to show properly on pics, it tends to come out like a stronger Yas Marina but it’s nothing close in person.

Hope you enjoy the pics, thanks for looking

Awesome contrast and so dope that you and your dad can bond over this.

MPoweRo · 05-13-2018, 02:04 PM

Cool Father-Son combo. Enjoy the cars and talking about them together.

My Dad drives a 12 year old A Class...

DWEI · 05-13-2018, 02:13 PM

Wow. It's great you and your pops can do stuff like this together. Congrats to the both of you on great looking cars. So the question is... Who drives it better. Lol

Aaaaaaaaa · 05-13-2018, 03:54 PM

My two favorite individual colors!

I can’t see how that’s Mexico blue? I can think of Mexico white, green, or red...?

Either way, nice set of M’s

don't know if you get a lot of visitors from Florida out there in Scotland, but if you do you'll get Florida Gators comments

IM2C · 05-13-2018, 06:28 PM

Just goes to show that everyone in Scotland owns a castle.

Cars look awesome btw.

Your cars really bring some color into those pictures, they look great. It's nice to see father and son share the same passion for cars!

rr006rbc · 05-14-2018, 12:43 AM

More impressed by your estate; not even just a house.

Haha it’s not our house... just a local estate we asked if we could take some pics on!

Darth One · 05-14-2018, 08:48 AM

Aubie4Pres · 05-15-2018, 10:47 AM

Bigger question, who wins when you race each other?

tropicalypso · 05-15-2018, 12:41 PM

Awesome combo!

I wish my dad drove a M3... he just bought a cargo van as his daily driver
