Got my LMB yesterday, some pics

Jai2008 · 05-16-2008, 09:52 AM

Not the best photographer around but just want to share it with you guys. First I was skeptical about the color but once I saw it in person, I know I made the right choice. Most of the pictures don't do justice to this color, hard to really see all the different shades of blue under different lightings.

It was a really hard choice for me between AW with Coral and the LMB. However, since my last car was white with customer white/red interior. My girl friend who lives with me also drives a white 3 series so I figured I'll try the LMB.

Great looking car!

I went with AW and coral, but if I had to choose another color, it would be MB......since we don't get LMB.

Le Mans Blue is just a great color.

BMWDave · 05-16-2008, 11:58 AM

Thanks for the pics...they are great. Le Mans Blue FTW

Maine1 · 05-16-2008, 12:25 PM

I love that color. I wish we had it in the US. I went with the clear water blue instead.

Maine1, If you loved LMB, why did not you go with Montego Blue? Very close to LMB.

hooner35 · 05-16-2008, 02:12 PM

Those wheel arch/fender flairs look so gorgeous in pic#2.

aesthetect · 05-16-2008, 02:37 PM

the fact that they give canada lemans blue, 261 wheels, anthracite, and all the other euro good stuff really shows that the world does hate us.

bmt_toronto · 05-16-2008, 02:59 PM

Looks fantastic! LMB is my current colour of choice, I hope to see your car around the city sometime so I can see it in real life.

OrientBlauZHP · 05-16-2008, 03:11 PM

What a great color, I'm really liking LMB and Montego Blue.

That's a good question. I do like the Montego also - they are very close, but it did not strike me in quite the same way as the LMB (at least in the early pictures I was seeing at the time). Obviously I've been on the fence about the whole color choice. At one time or another, I think I liked just about every color available. Tough choice.

Did you buy this car from Autohaus? If so, I believe your car originally may of came from Parkview, before I ordered my car there was a Le Mans Blue 135i available and it was one of my considerations, however there wasn't a sunroof installed so I decided not to buy it. The person who orginally ordered the car decided to cancel last minute and it ended up in Parkview's inventory. A week later, Parkview was preparing the car for Autohaus and the person who sold the car was the person same peroson who sold my mother her 323CI.

Very nice looking car.
