Production F80 M3 Revealed in Yas Marina Blue! (Updated w/ Video)

Jason · 11-24-2013, 10:03 PM

Best look yet at Yas Marina Metallic color - on a F30 painted via BMW Individual. This will of course be a standard color on the F80 M3 / F82 M4.

Looks better than previous views, but still not a fan.

Not bad. Black rims carbon roof this color could really pop.

That's my thinking as well.

I'd take java green over this in a heartbeat

This is worse than santorini, laguna and estoril to me... I'm not a fan of smurfy colors (not trying to offend) but laguna or estoril would have been better

Maybe some pics in the sun light... Overcast skies made tanzanite look dull

Give me dark blues damnit

I am no longer fan of this color. It looked great in low quality m3 video. However, it doesn't look that attractive in those pics.

I hope austin yellow does not disappoint. Otherwise, I may go again with alpine white...

I agree, but hey a bonus is that you can get a matching helmet from the UN.

As we assumed earlier, this color seems to be extremely reactive to ambient light. It looks really good in the sun, but really dull in overcast conditions. I wonder how it looks at night :\

I think this car really needs all the ///M stuff to pull it off IMO. That means CF roof, wide arches, hood bulge ect..

Imagine a sport line Aurum Yellow F30 sportline, I don't think that would look anywhere as good as on the M4 Concept. Loud and aggressive colors need to go on a car that can pull it off.

I agree with this.. I just hope a local dealer orders this color as I don't think I could pull the trigger on such a bold color without seeing it in person first.

Definitely. It's definitely a color that must be seen IRL first. At least I can go look at what Sakhir Orange looks like on M5/6. Really, those are the only 2 colors I'd consider at the moment.

Yup. I like sakhir a lot too but for me after sitting in a Singapore Gray/ full Silverstone merino m6 last week, I'm really leaning towards that interior..I just don't think SO would go well with it.. This will be a difficult decision for sure lol

I've seen that combo before on an M5 (SO/SS) and it's not terrible, but definitely not the best. I think on my next M car, I'd go with cloth seats, so that kind of solves the problem haha. Unfortunately, something tells me you can't get cloth seats with HUD though.

Don't worry. SOMEBODY on this forum will order it for sure (..and post lots of photos). We'll all get a glimpse.

mdinstead99 · 12-30-2013, 11:09 PM

The M4 is going to be awesome.
Hope I can get one

our M3 launch car was changed to YMB so we will have one. As soon as we get it we will post up some pics. But yes you can guarantee there will be a ton of YMB M's.
