Center BMW has a Santorini Blue M3

M3Pilot09 · 08-27-2012, 03:01 PM

Wow I went into Center BMW in Sherman Oaks and not only do you have a loaded comp package Dakar Yellow M3 but they have a loaded San Torini Blue M3 Comp Package. This is the coolest color I have ever seen on an M3. I spoke with the GM Raul and was told it is the only one in the country. Its absolutely amazing and anyone looking for a really unique M3 should look at this car.

EDIT 9/5/12: I guess you went back and took a pic, eh?

There is one here in Utah. Ordered via BMW Individual. So there are at least two.

Ehh, kinda looks like a flat Smurf Blue, but then again I'm not seeing it in person.

Also, what happened to its tow hook??

Bokke · 08-27-2012, 03:27 PM

Very nice color, but the GM is wrong...

loflier · 08-27-2012, 03:36 PM

I think that color looks sick.

JYohay · 08-27-2012, 03:37 PM

They will say anything to make a sale.

mpower4life · 08-27-2012, 03:40 PM

did you expect the dealership to be honest with that statement or something? (no offense to those guys who I know uphold their integrity)

Funny that the description on that car says the only one in the country.

03BeastCharmer · 08-27-2012, 04:14 PM

That color is very bright. Not sure I like it. I think Le Mans Blue looks better (at least from the pictures I've seen).

lorinzo · 08-27-2012, 04:15 PM

Nice.
I may swing by to take a look in person.

LMB IS better!!..... but, I am biased.

Ermagerd · 08-27-2012, 04:51 PM

Looks awesome, but judging from the pic, I'd rather have le mans blue.

///Montreal3 · 08-27-2012, 05:03 PM

Too many nice blues from BMW; Santorini, LSB, MCB, LMB, Estoril, Interlagos, etc

Must be hard to pick if you're bent on a blue M.

Don't forget the sometimes blue jerez!

I want to see Imola Red on an E9x. I had that on an E46 ZHP and it was great. Bmw makes too many blues and not enough reds!

TTG · 08-27-2012, 05:36 PM

I would not even look at that color when Dakar was sitting next to it..... My biggest regret was not ordering my M in Dakar!

And their website totally sucks! Can't find either car there.

oldmarco · 08-27-2012, 06:24 PM

Not bad. I still think Laguna Seca Blue or Estoril are my favorite blue colors that BMW offers.
