Very nice! Is that a wrap or real paint job?

thanks! le mans is a bit darker than this color. this is san marino blue from the current m5/m6

Dackelone · 01-05-2015, 03:04 AM

We need MORE pics!

LuuZ · 01-05-2015, 04:34 AM

It looks good with the blacklines & the gunmetal wheels !

Les Grossman · 01-05-2015, 04:35 AM

That looks fabulous, even though I personally think it's a bad thing to do.

it's not a specific color, i just wanted them like the color of the tailpipes from the akrapovic exhaust, but in metallic. i'm very happy with the result

TS135i · 01-05-2015, 05:21 AM

Looks great, how involved was the repaint.

IEDEI · 01-05-2015, 05:35 AM

looks amazing! reminds me of my deep sea blue 135is I used to have....need more pics!

I guess that is 'titanium' colored: really nice and as far as I can tell from these pics, it matches the titanium exhaust color well (besides the pipes having a dull surface). 'Non specific' makes it all the more exclusive, and as my wish for all of us: hopefully no need for touch-ups. Do you know if powder coating was involved, or just paint?

Not to sound repetitive, but this car does ask for more pics or even a proper photo shoot!

Rikx1M · 01-05-2015, 06:42 AM

Amazing color...definitely should have been an option for us. Nice job! More photos please!

thanks for your great feedback! the color has been painted even with the original brand colors from bmw, so its excact the same color like when you order an m5/m6 with this color.

@ all: as soon the weather allows, there will be uploaded a lot more pictures!

ThereCanBeOnly1 · 01-05-2015, 09:13 AM

1'M Blue · 01-05-2015, 11:21 PM

I seriously need to do gunmetal paint to my wheels.

Looks awesome !

nachob · 01-05-2015, 11:26 PM

I hope that's not Interlagos Blue! I'll cry. I actually got a quote on painting mine Interlagos Blue before I sold it!!

Love it.
