First Look at F30 in Yas Marina Blue Individual and Closeup Paint Samples

Jay-K · 11-01-2013, 05:10 AM

too soft, too cutie, too puny

ramuman · 11-01-2013, 05:28 AM

For how much people post on the forums about their love for these sort of colors, I rarely see them in person. For the E9x M3, AW, SG, Jerez Black and the two blues are the colors I've seen most often.

YMB looks hideous IMO, along with Austin Yellow. Their spiritual predecessors, LSB and Phoenix Yellow looked hideous as well in person. Just my take, but maybe I'm a bit boring. I'll likely get Silverstone, Mineral Grey or do an individual for Space Gray on my M4.

If your M3 wasn't a dick magnet already, it sure will be now!

So wrong.

....but you have to admit it's not a very masculine color.

Suave · 11-01-2013, 05:41 AM

Not a fan of this color at all. Make the car look too much like the way back old school colors of Volkswagen. I hope to see other blue options for the M4 but sticking with Singapore Grey for now.

mud hen medic · 11-01-2013, 05:52 AM

There's probably a lot of people in Chapel Hill North Carolina who are pretty excited about this color option.

It looked better in the video than in the stills

raduslaf · 11-01-2013, 06:19 AM

Hyundai colour, me no like.

M3roar · 11-01-2013, 06:55 AM

I haven't read much in the M3 but that thing has a CF roof and it's a Sedan!! Nice!! The color looks pretty epic actually. Stands out but isn't a crappy cheap shade.

Pure · 11-01-2013, 07:39 AM

Honestly Yas Marina Blue color is very particular and unique sport that only a few like it.
It looks great for running on the track.
That light Blue Metallic modern metal flake.
In my view I do not buy it that tone, however I respect those who want it.

A survey of acceptance of Yas Marina Blue.!

You're not the only one. I don't like it either. The ordering guide should include flowers and a matching eye-shadow powder pack...

I think it should be renamed to "Valley Girl Blue" matching the horrible eye-shadow worn by girls in the eighties...

A truly horrific color which makes the car look cheap and nasty

I think this might be the worst production color I've ever seen on a BMW.

Nice to look at, hate to own it

Randy M · 11-01-2013, 09:24 AM

Resale value won't be very good on this color either.

Not seeing that color was included in the dealer order guide.

pkimM3r · 11-01-2013, 09:35 AM

The colors available are refreshing. I would take this, the green, orange, or yellow.

Sick of seeing only AW m3s everywhere. Singapore grey is also nice (looks fresh and best of all easiest to maintain although a little boring). My current color jet black is just too much work.

CSanto · 11-01-2013, 09:36 AM

In the M it looked good.

Pure · 11-01-2013, 10:22 AM

Ladies and gentleman,

We are facing the biggest bet more radical colors throughout the automotive industry.
Very light blue, Orange Metallic, Yellow Metallic. Amazingly no red.

No doubt all of us in this forum must recognize that BMW is risking a lot to offer other than the ordinary colors, maybe some remember the era of the 70s and 80s listening to the song "I wanna dance with somebody " by Whitney Houston and clothing that light blue.

But the color theme is a very difficult issue we all agree.

Meanwhile BMW returns to innovate and surprise the world.

I think that shade of blue I saw a Mini Cooper and Countryman.

Pure · 11-01-2013, 10:23 AM

More Color Mini-BMW Yas Marina Blue since... LOL.
