M3 for sale - which individual color?

69k is steep no doubt considering original MSRP had to be close to 84k ish? But mileage seems to have a much bigger impact on the value of these cars vs age. Ideally 55-60k for a 2018, well optioned, manual trans comp model. Even that is still pricey but a little more palatable.

Has anyone suggested Interlagos Blue?

If this is the one that someone on here recently sold it is in fact Avus. To me it looks like LeMans Blue or Avus

Do you have a link to that thread? I searched in classifieds but didn't see it.

That might be it. BMW blues are so cool.

Dealer never got back to me.

It's another one actually, thread:

Tough to tell on lighting, but I think the one you linked is actually LeMans since it's not the one I thought it might be.

Not aware of a Interlagos Blue F8X, I think BMW denied that color. While I think it's a great blue (having had a IB Z4M), I think most of the individual blues on an F8X are actually more brilliant/special.

That's correct according to the F80 Individual production stats at https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1551939. It must be another blue.

My vote is avus. I own an avus f80 tho I'm colorblind so who knows.

That's def not LSB.

I put my money on LMB.

There was only one (1) Lemans Blue LCI F80 in the US. If this that unicorn it's worth $75k plus just on color and 6MT alone. Also 4K miles is nothing. I don't think this is Lemans.

My bet is Avus Blue as there were a lot of Avus blues produced at the end of 2018 model run, (93) according to our friend sickfinga. Price seems right if u can buy it for $65 to $67 k out the door.

I'm staring at my Avus Blue F80 right now. I don't think that's Avus or Lemans really, as I've had both. I think it's SMB -- looks like a little purple in there

The carmax listing was actually mine - Avus Blue / SO interior. I loved the subtle shifts in color depending on lighting conditions......

LMB or Avus.

[RowanBuds]

I'm fairly certain I'm right, but lets be safe and I'll say that 99.99% this is Avus.

I initially thought LMB but as I look at the photos more it's Avus.

A beauty nonetheless, and someone will be very happy if trying to buy a keeper and not overly concerned with depreciation risk (which I think is overblown if buying this particular car).

Interesting to me: My usual vin decoder shows my car as LMB but this one isn't identified.

Avus irl vs. pic

Amen on that. The pic is way too purple to be Avus Blue, hence my guess would be SMB. I have an Avus Blue/Black one as well so if it is Avus then the camera filter is doing something weird to alter the true color of the vehicle.

[IB M]

I'm leaning that its SMB now - the suspense thick.

Too purple for Avus.

Edit: the dealer told me it's Avus.

Damn I was really thinking LeMans lately - it was my first thought when I saw the photos but was stuck between SMB, Avus, & LeMans

[Multimodal]

If it was the only LeMans F80 produced that would have been incredible (even if LMB < Avus < SMB).

[Ck1720]

Very cool. What a beautiful color. Dealer never got back to me but thank you for following up and posting!

Called it. Cameras can really throw curveballs tho.

They told me they would take $1,000 off the price (but they also have a bs $995 dealer processing fee so it's kind of a push). They weren't willing to negotiate down to the Edmunds TMV. Too rich for my blood but if you're still interested I can give you the salesperson's info. Just DM me.
