Le Mans blue US Roll Call
Just wondering who here has Le Mans blue orders pending, coupe or vert, what interior color and trim you went with, and expected delivery date (if available).
Feel free to include options if it blows your hair back. Are they any already on the ground yet? |

I tried to get a LMB E46 M3 special ordered during the last production year (2006), but NA in its infinite wisdom told me to take a hike son. I love its true-blue sapphire type nature. I have an R32 in Deep blue pearl, but while very lovely, it's still just one shade lighter than I like. LMB hits all the right notes for me. Just need to figure out what color interior to go with. 3 months and still somewhat undecided. I'm sure I'll be perseverating right up until it goes Status 111 or 112 (sorry, can't remember what the last change status is). |

A month to go is nothing, I originally placed the order back in Sept! Once LeMans blue + M-sport became available is when the sleepless nights began. What are you planning to order? |

Well, if I had to go with what I know right now it would be as follows: 135i 6 speed Le Mans blue Lemon Leather (Priority 1) ZMP Heated Front Seats iPod or Sirius (I have Sirius in my VW and am hopelessly hooked on it, so it may come down to a best 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 5, or 4 out of 7, or 5 out of...........well, I'm sure you get the idea......coin flip). But what I know seems to change as often as the wind blows lately. |

Regarding heated seats, you hit the nail right on the head. My plan (sometimes changes with emotion) is to drive the 1 yet save her from the terrible elements of MI weather; enormous piles of salt and arizona desert size pot holes. Therefore, giant salt licks dont typically occur in the summer/spring.
My task will be to avoid driving her when I know my right foot will be begging me to do so. I originally ordered BSM w/ coral red; however, as soon as I heard about the LeMans + ZMP I couldnt resist! If you arent worried about resale, then toss out the heated seats. Honestly, a finely kept LMB (like your IR ZHP) will be sold quite easily in the future. |

LMB would have been my 3rd choice, after BSM and SGM, had it been available! I love the color, and would have been my first choice no matter what, had my previous car (honda element) not been fiji blue pearl, which I think is honestly a beautiful color blue in itself!

That's the money interior choice imo. A provocative and bold choice. And that might be the production week I would probably be looking at. Strict imposition of a ban for a violation of the informal 12 hour rule for posting pics from BMW Welt will unanimously be recommended if you do not comply. |

If so nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't mind having a 128 at all. I wish the fog lights from the 128 could be used on the 135. Plus it's a super value call. Great real world performance for the money. You rightfully should be jacked up about it. And ED is just icing on the cake. |

I don't mind if I'm singing the blues everyday if we add LMB to the family stable. I don't believe I'd ever be singing "The Thrill is Gone". |

If it was my car and not my wifes I think I would go for it. We all are lucky to be able to get something a little more unique than the standard 1 series colors. Yes, ED is great and this will be our second. |
