Color is drop dead gorgeous. Wow!

Daft · 08-16-2015, 09:09 PM

Truly an amazing colour. How does it compare to your old Le Mans Blue 335?

I thought my Le Mans Blue 335 was the greatest, but San Marino Blue really is just something else!

The comments about less post processing when there really is very little go to show just how amazing the color is!

carbon//m3 · 08-16-2015, 09:29 PM

love the color!

roastbeef · 08-16-2015, 10:10 PM

There are other BMW enthusiasts in Plainjew?

That is one of the best looking colors I have seen on the m3! Well done

did with my 335! (linked here). Before I get into it I'll start off with one of my favorite photos taken

Wow! Looks amazing!

First time I even liked the silver wheels on the new M's. San Marino is probably the best color in the world, wish it was available on the upcoming smaller sibling.

.BMW. · 08-16-2015, 11:50 PM

Stunning color!

Congrats.

Nightfall · 08-17-2015, 12:10 AM

San Marino Blue is probably my favourite BMW color of them all. Your car looks absolutely amazing. Drool worthy

Since those shots really are great: You wouldn't happen to have any of those wallpaper-sized?

MDIVISION · 08-17-2015, 12:16 AM

Thats so sick. Congrats man

I guess when they featured the post they cut some of the links. You can view the full album in hi-res on Gus's Flickr here!

Alienpsychologist · 08-17-2015, 01:12 AM

Epic color! I'll have to rethink my Montego Blue obsession now. Have fun with the mods.

PETERYanni · 08-17-2015, 02:21 AM

How much did you pay for it?

Bols · 08-17-2015, 02:51 AM
