She's a beauty for sure. Looks like it has just about every option. I'd struggle with 93k though, you're starting to reach a different class of cars. But I'm sure they'll find a buyer, some wealthy people up north.

BigMo · 12-16-2014, 09:21 PM

I agree. I wonder if they are asking over sticker like the one that is at Pacific BMW. The SS interior is better suited than the black for this color IMO.

JeffM-Houston · 12-16-2014, 09:27 PM

Nice color, don't see any way I would go $93k for one though.

czarmar · 12-16-2014, 09:31 PM

I think that's just YMB that's been 'corrected' in post process. How I wish that YMB was that dark in real life. Check out the ad pic of the driver's door jamb. Looks like the powder blue that we all know YMB to be.

BhamDavid · 12-16-2014, 09:41 PM

The VIN lookup identifys the paint color as "violettblau II"

I note that it has a manual transmission, so not every option.

Yea, that door jamb photo is telling. I agree and think there is no special paint job on this thing but more of a special photoshop job..

Seems they are charging 4k over msrp assuming it has every option except Concierge Service (does anyone buy that??). I guess 4k over MSRP is better than the $10k over Weatherford tries to push!

Interesting, If the VIN shows a diff color wouldn't that mean it came from factory? Would BMW really ship a car with mismatched color? seems odd to me?

I think that the camera over exposed the door jam due to the shadows in the interior making the paint look lighter than it is. No one is going to repaint a new car and BMW wouldn't let a mismatch pass QC.

Pics show DCT.

The last seven digits of this car are P803595. Go to:

http://www.bmwarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html

and you can get the full details on this car's build.

The paint color info is at the bottom of the form. Paint Code 490 just means special paint.

Misread the form, you are correct.

Can you spec a non-IND M3 to 93K??

It does have special paint which is $5000.

I went on the BMW NA website, and with every single option you can get close. Without special paint, I don't think you can hit that mark.

I thought it was just a dark pic of YMB

A SF BMW car in Miami for an autoshow?

Same colors, same bunch of other stuff but have different VIN's; so no, they aren't the same car.

Sorry - didn't look at the VIN

BigMo · 12-16-2014, 11:19 PM

Looking on the computer screen vs iPhone I realize this is not LSB, thanks to those that were able to do the VIN lookup. I corrected the title to the thread. I will say I love all the BMW blues, but this one has to be my favorite. I don't know about $93K nice, but none the less beautiful.
