Monte Carlo Blue M3 Edition

T89 · 02-10-2010, 09:55 AM

Once again found these on autogespot. These were taken in London. The color looks darker in real life. Doesn't pop as much if you know what I mean. IMO prefer these pics to those official press ones.

My new favorite M3 color

bavarian19 · 02-10-2010, 10:00 AM

I actually don't like it based on those pictures. Id rather have Lemans or Interlagos.

bobbyd1961 · 02-10-2010, 10:17 AM

i dont like it lemans or interlago much nicer

Ryan@IND · 02-10-2010, 10:42 AM

The pictures don't seem to do it justice, but I'm sure in person it is a nice color. From the pictures it looks like a deeper estoril

yamazaho · 02-10-2010, 10:45 AM

Not bad at all.

anthony @ eas · 02-10-2010, 11:33 AM

Looks pretty good.

I love this color I've only seen it on an X5M in person and still looks great
Really depends on the lighting with Monte Carlo, I feel it changes a lot

AMPowerJ · 02-10-2010, 01:10 PM

Those pics look like they were taken on a cloudy day. Would need to see pics in the sun to be able to tell for sure.

BCA · 02-10-2010, 01:15 PM

I love this color!

These pictures show the cool "slate" blue that it looks like on a cloudy day. And we already know what it looks like on a sunny day. Nice color with different personalities --> awesome.

zuggerat89 · 02-10-2010, 01:22 PM

A bit of sunlight and a good camera will make the reactions unanimous.

GuyOh · 02-10-2010, 02:15 PM

i saw it in the dealership and i must say this is the nicest colour for the m3

M3Alpine · 02-10-2010, 03:30 PM

not bad, not the greatest pictures though either

leeor · 02-10-2010, 04:06 PM

cleannnnn

MFLTPRZ · 02-10-2010, 04:34 PM

That is NICE!!! Here are a couple of pics I took back in September 2009 at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Special Edition M3, to bad they don't make it American Spec or I would have ordered one Dakar Yellow!

///FCB · 02-10-2010, 04:43 PM

I love this color more and more!! just like BW

CPI · 02-10-2010, 05:16 PM

I think it looks really nice!

graider · 02-10-2010, 05:16 PM

it looks a bit like estoril, no?

i think the pic might be dirty, which is why it doesn't look very good. get a clean shot in bright sun it is gonna be much better.

I like the way he has stopped in the precious cyclists's zone. The one where the selfish planet-savers make sure they get in front of you, and block you at red lights.

Nice work. I definitely approve. Just watch out for the traffic nazis, sorry, wardens...

Mark's M · 02-10-2010, 10:28 PM

Thanks for the photos, have only seen bright indoor camera shots, a whole bunch of perfect press photos and one MCB in the flesh under the showroom lights. From an overcast perspective, maybe even a bit dirty, it still looks fantastic. Can't wait!!!!

catch · 02-10-2010, 10:30 PM

i liek this color a lot! very versitile! u can go brushed rims or black, both would look perfect.
im a fan
