That's my opinion, too.
Even though I think it might just be a suggestion by marketing - we only/most of the times see the color combos M3 YMB and M4 AY...

I saw it on the coupe and it looks weird. It fits better on the F80.

and AY looks great on the coupe but terrible on the sedan, IMHO

We're all brainwashed with the launch cars. True though, AY seems to fit the M4, YMB the M3.

Well they pick these colors for a reason.

Really? Do you think?

Could also be "they picked the colors and we make a reason out of it"

horrible photo shoot. All artificial lighting, and heavily processed. Looking at it, I have no idea what the color really looks like....

Really? Are you blind?

Sorry, but the color on a M5 is a no go. It looks awful, especially with those ugly rims.

Pretty harsh unnecessary comments. I think the photoshoot was a success, even though I wish there was a bit less glare. I just think that YMB is a color that's not easily duplicated in photos, but I can get a pretty good understanding of how it'll be in real life.

I'm also not a big fan of black wheels, but it does go well with the ymb/black trim theme...and BBS LM's are nowhere near ugly. The YMB looks great on the M5, again I think because it's a sedan. I think it'd look weird on a M6 coupe, but would be interesting to see on a M6 GC...

Yup, deserves a kick in the jimmy

That said, it's not my choice since I drive a convertible and if it was YMB I'd have to get out of the car everytime like this:

Chris Harris tweeted me back saying YMB was a good color!!!

Go for it! Join the club!

The more I see of this color the more I love it. To me it looks way better outside of the showroom floor and all the fluorescent lighting. My pendulum swings between YMB and Azurite Black daily, but I'm leaning more and more towards YMB.

As much as I love Azurite Black, YMB is a gorgeous color that I feel only works on a very small number of cars. The M3 happens to be one of them in my opinion and I don't think I can pass up the opportunity.

That's exactly the way I see it
I would probably not order this color on any other car...
