As far as I know this is the only Ruby Black Metallic M3 in the US.

Looks great.. any more pics?

Alan S · 04-26-2015, 09:34 PM

I custom made the Center Caps with an M3 Logo.

Alan S · 04-26-2015, 09:36 PM

Another side shot. I'll post another picture when the sun is brighter. Looks like black in anything but direct sunlight.

Brosef · 04-26-2015, 10:14 PM

Love seeing all these individual F80's. Ruby looks great - congrats.

Not feeling the center caps, but whatever fires your panties up.

pyceasyas123 · 04-26-2015, 10:27 PM

nice! ruby black is a cool color.

Arcoril · 04-26-2015, 10:30 PM

Looks good! I'll keep an eye out for your car down here at the bottom of the hill.

MFNATIK · 04-26-2015, 10:41 PM

Wow, never heard of this color before. Does it have red metallic mixed in with the black?

Alan S · 04-26-2015, 10:51 PM

If you're familiar with Carbon Black, it's very close to Carbon Black except it's dark red instead of blue. In anything other than bright sunlight it looks pretty close to black. In direct sunlight you get hints of dark ruby red, especially when viewing it from an angle.

Powerbeast · 04-26-2015, 10:55 PM

Looks terrific, more pics please! Don't know how I feel about your choice of center cap.

haynstyleM2 · 04-26-2015, 11:31 PM

solid. looks good. nice uniqueness with the center caps......

PCR0303 · 04-26-2015, 11:57 PM

RPV nice. I think I know exactly where you took that too. Beautiful car, hopefully I'll see it around since I'm also in that area

rubber_ducky · 04-27-2015, 06:10 AM

Looks incredible. Congrats!

-JLT- · 04-27-2015, 06:20 AM

Nice! I've had Carbon Black so I know exactly what you're talking about

mugenap2 · 04-27-2015, 07:32 AM

Nice!!!

GOLFFRR · 04-27-2015, 08:27 AM

I really love all these indiv builds that are coming out! We are getting spoiled! Every day I log on there is another indiv order being posted! This color looks great OP. very nice choice. I would imagine that in sunlight this color is ridiculous

I'd agree. To me, it looks like BSM, but without some of the metallic specs, or just a plain black. Would love to see it in the sun. I like Carbon Black.

Blindside_137 · 04-27-2015, 11:53 AM

Wicked! I bet the color would pop well under the bright white lights of a garage or gas station at night.

Try to snap some more so we can see the flake. I can definitely notice it in these but I bet it's more evident in person.

Lynchmob6 · 04-27-2015, 12:03 PM

Nice!

Sean@PSI · 04-27-2015, 01:03 PM

What a great color choice! That must be amazing in person.

Totally agree! One of the best parts of checking out the forums is to view these individual builds.
