Kief's 2nd M3CS: This Time--San Marino Blue!!!

Kief · 02-15-2019, 01:36 PM

As some of you know, I had a bit of buyer's remorse on my Alpine White M3CS, but the deal was too good to pass up. However, San Marino Blue just kept calling my name...so I offered to lease transfer the AW CS, and it quickly found a new home!

Fast forward to today (about 1 month after taking delivery of my AW CS), and I brought this beauty home

My dealer was unable to get the last SMB at the port (cough...cough, thanks a lot BMWDavid, but they were able to do a dealer trade in MD. I had the car trucked up, but as you can tell from the pics, it was still freakin fifthly!! It was transport during a winter storm however.

As always, I never have the dealer prep the car, so I took delivery looking like that! I quickly cleaned it up this afternoon, and was overall happy with the results. The hood is going to need a professional paint correction, and that's if my OCD gets the better of me.

Anyway, I am very happy to finally have the color I always wanted, and the deal was even better than last time

UPDATE: More pics #32

Clark_Kent · 02-15-2019, 02:28 PM

Lookin' good! Who can resist a fresh and clean SMB? As I scrolled through the pictures, I was so happy to see you removed the Passport BMW logo from the trunk lid.
