Which individual blue is this M3?

new2the3 · 07-09-2015, 09:30 AM

Spotted this car in San Diego, I have seen it once before. Which blue is this? It's very nice but would be much better with the silver wheels IMO. Sorry for the bad quality pictures, I was sitting in my car driving through the parking lot and didn't want to get out to start taking pictures.

I can't see sh!t or my job's nazi filter prevents me from seeing.

Deja_Vu · 07-09-2015, 09:39 AM

Le Mans maybe?

BaLLzZz · 07-09-2015, 09:41 AM

Tanzanite

It was way brighter than tanz

GOLFFRR · 07-09-2015, 10:04 AM

looks like san marino? hard to tell pic is a little dark or interlargos (sorry if I spelled that wrong

)

Brennan ///M4 · 07-09-2015, 10:04 AM

Definitely not Tanzanite. Le Mans was my first thought, but impossible to tell for sure from those pictures.

Mahzari · 07-09-2015, 10:04 AM

Tanzanite. It was sold by BMW of Encinitas (look at the window). I have pictures of that car as well. Encinitas also had an Azurite F80 M3 but it's much, much darker. Can't be San Marino as SMB has significantly more purple.

somer · 07-09-2015, 10:17 AM

Avus or Lemans

Agreed. Not Tanzanite.

Maybe Interlagos?

BhamDavid · 07-09-2015, 10:30 AM

Either Le Mans or Topaz

mshab356 · 07-09-2015, 10:30 AM

Does not look Le Mans nor Tanzanite. Definitely looks San Marino

San Marino is on the left, Le Mans on the right. OP's post doesn't show a hint of purple IMO for it to be San Marino. I'm still saying Le Mans.

yekmurat · 07-09-2015, 10:43 AM

Lemans

snovi · 07-09-2015, 10:51 AM

Definitely NOT san marino... even in overcast/cloudy lighting, SMB is very vibrant and has a lot of violet in the color. This is lacking any hint of violet hues.

Looks like tanzanite or le mans.

Here's my SMB in similar lighting conditions for comparison:

Hmm now that I look you may be correct. Does look darker than SMB...

Brosef · 07-09-2015, 11:27 AM

I'm guessing LeMans

Assari · 07-09-2015, 11:56 AM

Would say Interlagos (photo found on google and pasted as a reference to show the color)

MFNATIK · 07-09-2015, 12:33 PM

LeMans but pics are too underexposed to truly tell

Sal@AUTOcouture · 07-09-2015, 01:30 PM

San Merino or LeMans

teazr1 · 07-09-2015, 01:42 PM

I'm pretty sure it's LeMans. BMW Encinitas recently had a LeMans blue car on their lot. I saw it at the same time as the Tanzanite one that they still have in their inventory. This car is also too light to be Tanzanite.
