First Look at F30 in Yas Marina Blue Individual and Closeup Paint Samples
BIMMERPOST NEWS First Look at F30 in Yas Marina Blue Individual and Closeup Paint Samples The recent F80 M3 spy video (reposted below) and order guide revealed and confirmed the Yas Marina Blue Metallic color for the upcoming 2014 M3 and M4. While the video gave us a general sense of how the color looks, its grainy quality doesn't showcase the color adequately. So, we'll show you more... Here is a Yas Marina Blue F30 320d. The color will be available for the standard 3 Series as a BMW Individual color. No word yet on what market will receive it or when it will become available. F80 M3 spy video: For a look at the metallic properties of the color, iND Distribution has shared with these great photos of Yas Marina Blue Metallic paint swatches.

That last image perfectly illustrates why it's futile to gauge the true color of any paint sample in pictures given how drastically various lighting conditions can affect the tone of that color.

Definitely similar but it remains to be seen just how similar IRL. I said in another post the car would look good with a dark blue and red stripe. I also think dark blue wheels would look good as an alternative to black (maybe leave off the red ring I'd mentioned though ).

Absolutely +1. Needs all the flares and contrasting CF to pull it off. Still by far my #1 color if I were to buy an M3/4 though.

This color is 2nd on my list behind Sahkir Orange. I crave Sahkir Orange with the black OEM 19" wheel options, a drop, beautiful brakes and black or black/Sahkir Orange leather. |

That 320d is for sale here in Norway..
Might look better on the more aggressive looking M3...

I just want that F80 in the video, exactly as is (cloth or black interior please)! The CCB calipers goes perfect with the blue too

Flat (not matte) would be very motorsport.
The metallic addition makes it a little cheesy and more 'luxury'. But of course I withhold final judgement until seeing it in person. |
