M4 CS in Limerock Grey or San Marino Blue?
Has anyone seen both Limerock Grey and San Marino Blue on a BMW M4CS? I was just confirmed production and I am confused which color to pick. I have seen all the photographs but I would like input from someone who has seen them and compared them both in person. Thanks

Limerock Grey, its unique and will stand out more than Blue.

At any rate, I'd probably go with San Marino because its a great color, and at $100k, the CS is already going to be expensive enough without adding another $5k for the Individual color. Sure, that's a small percentage of the overall price, but if I am paying the Individual price, I'd want to pick from the whole palette. Unfortunately, it seems that will not be possible with the CS. |

Reminds me a lot of the grey that you see on super cheap Dodge and Audi vehicles and those are all over the place where I live
The "Nardo" or "Limerock" style grey has been played out for a good year or two now Do I love the color? Yes very much so but I wouldn't say it's unique per se IMO both colors have been played out for a good 3-4 years now. Blue color reminds me a lot of Deep Impact Blue that Ford used since 2013 I believe |

If price truly isn't an issue, I'd be on the phone with BMW corporate to find out what it would take to do a custom Individual order for this car. Why limit yourself to one gray color? The whole point of BMW Individual is to give you what you want. For the right price they may be able to paint the car any color you can imagine, like they can for just about any other BMW.

That being said I'd likely go with San Marino simply because it's one of the richest, deepest, most beautiful blues BMW has ever made. But either way you can't go wrong!

I have seen them side by side a few times and they both look great. Lime rock is much more metallic in real life than pictures however they are both NCO in Australia.
Personally I went for SMB but can't really go wrong with either, just too many brands going grey now plus I like the contrast of the carbon on blue. |

I saw a Lime Rock grey M3 CS in person at the Detroit auto show and really liked it. The dark blues are usually my favorite color on cars but the lime rock grey really looks good on the CS. It shows off the lines well and on one had makes the car a bit of a sleeper as it is (in my opinion) less flashy than San Marino, but at the same time very unique. Not sure how to explain it, but definitely looks better in person than Nardo grey.

I would go for Lime Rock Grey, but I'm partial to grey. So the blue would have to look significantly better for me to opt for it.

I've seen San Marino on so many m5 I'd take limerock grey.
Also, I thought I saw "speed yellow" in some promo vids for m4 cs. That would be an interesting color and more "rare" |

For now, the CS are only available in 5 colours: AW, BSM, SMB and the semi-individual LRG and FDB.

To the OP, my dealer has both the LRG and SMB M4CS sitting in the showroom. The SMB pops, while the LRG looks dull. In fact, I would take the BSM one I’ve seen at another dealership. If you are ever in Melbourne, go see Mo at BMW Melbourne. He has them all. |

I've personally seen both. I like LRG a lot since it's something new. If you dont mind paying extra for the "special order" paint then I would definitely recommend LRG.
Here is a link that may help... http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...ht=slalomfever |
