Great build though, interior looks awesome!

Why the switch? and Thank you!

Definitely wanted to go with the silver wheels for some contrast.

For those asking, here are some comparison shots to San Marino.

The best way to describe it is that its a more pure blue color, without the slightest hint of purple in it. Even compared to Tanzanite, its a lot more straight blue.

eMvy · 06-28-2018, 12:09 PM

6MT! Awesome car and that makes it that much more special.

San Marino is the GOAT blue for me.

GaoKS · 06-28-2018, 12:26 PM

Looks sick!! Was just about to say looks a lot like SM.. after seeing both colors side by side I feel like I need to get my eyes checked for thinking they looked similar. Would love to see more pictures of the Cohiba interior as well!

spuntyb · 06-28-2018, 12:36 PM

Very nice work! Been waiting patiently to see this.

raysspl · 06-28-2018, 12:45 PM

That's a very cool color

JcLusso · 06-28-2018, 12:47 PM

That SMB M3 needs color matched reflectors

It would be for me too, but it really isn't unique anymore. I'd bet a good percentage of all individual orders for this car were SMB.

H2B · 06-28-2018, 12:57 PM

the best blue coat out there by far!

Hasser · 06-28-2018, 12:58 PM

What's going on with the arch gap, it's huge!

Poiseuille · 06-28-2018, 01:08 PM

+1 on picking the right wheels, silver just right with darker blues imho. I just love that color. How about more pics of the leather?

Remonster · 06-28-2018, 01:13 PM

Your car is literally perfect to my eyes! Well done!

E90.V8 · 06-28-2018, 01:43 PM

I know, I know. I'll lower it eventually, maybe.

Thanks! I think the darker colors need the lighter wheels for contrast.

I'll try to get some more interior pics.

lab_rat · 06-28-2018, 02:24 PM

Beautiful color combo! It's absolutely perfect.

Sam @ BPM Sport · 06-28-2018, 03:39 PM

wow!

M3 Adjuster · 06-28-2018, 03:54 PM

both cars are wonderful colors and proper deep blues.. I prefer San Marino when placed side by side. ( It's always been a personal fave tho.)

+1 the lighter color wheels on the HMB car look better for sure.

DreamTime · 06-28-2018, 04:02 PM

Beautiful color choices, inside and out! That Hera Mica Blue... wow. Nicely appointed, just stunning

6 months is a long time! But, you know what they say... Good things come to those who wait

Congrats!

AIRHEIR · 06-28-2018, 04:26 PM
