Here are 2 pics from crappy iPhone camera taken today. Up close pic shows very light color (probably camera related) and far away one darker.

First set is what it looks like in real life. Second set is way too saturated.

I played around with the color settings of the pics I posted earlier in an attempt to get a more accurate rendering of YMB (although the 3rd and 4th pictures are still a bit off). Here are the revised pics:

M3 n X5M · 02-21-2014, 05:37 PM

Someone mentioned the M4 would need a drop. However, it looks like both cars are sitting on the shipping blocks.

The AY looks better on the coupe and the sedan in YMB looks better IMO.

The silver wheels also look better than those black wheels.

adiba14 · 02-21-2014, 05:46 PM

Is it worth going to these things? I could potentially go Sunday since live close to Dallas. Will they let you sit in most cars?

ZEEM3R · 02-21-2014, 06:27 PM

That M3 doe.... Can't get over how much better it looks than the M4.

Tonymiabmw · 02-21-2014, 06:31 PM

I know is M3 is much sexier. Look at those flairs. The distant from gas cap to flair is huge!

Tonymiabmw · 02-21-2014, 06:35 PM

Looking at my e90 flair on f80 is easily 2 inches more.

m4xi?

georgere · 02-21-2014, 08:27 PM

1st time when pics of 4 look better than 3. Weird

damnitBobby · 02-21-2014, 09:27 PM

M4 ymb looks great! I just hope they are indeed on shipping blocks b/c it does look like it needs a drop lol

IEDEI · 02-21-2014, 09:38 PM

Not shipping blocks, that is the power source that they connect to the cars while on display so the battery is bypassed and they have power for accessories etc.

Mr T · 02-22-2014, 04:50 AM

The blue is simply too bright for me. Would love the individual colour blue options but then I would need to wait until September for the car.....don't want to do that!

Bescacho · 02-22-2014, 07:53 AM

The front of both cars seem to be sitting a bit too high with the large front wheel gaps...

In real life they are a lot lighter than the ones akbm3 posted (gorgeous shots though). The pics I posted are very close to the way they actually looked except for the one of the front of the M4 in YMB, that one came out too dark It's a very pale blue in person.

I agree I thought it was a very pale blue in person. My wife who is usually into color said she still prefers her black sapphire metallic over the blue.

ausdude · 02-22-2014, 08:38 AM

I sure wish they would have painted the black plastic around the mirrors like previous shadow line trim does. That black unpainted plastic fades to grey and looks crappy overtime

The two cars just like they are taller than in other photos we have seen. The cables were not what I was considering.

Bring back Dakar yellow, this new yellow color is not pretty
