I will be taking delivery of a new JGC Summit on Friday to use as a DD. This will serve to support home projects, dog mobile and to haul my skies and mountain bike. I will (hopefully) transfer the lease on the 4GC and order a M2 for spring/summer delivery.

Funny enough, when at the Jeep dealership last week they had a 09 M3 coupe in Melbourne Red in their showroom. I did pause for a moment and reflected on the car that I once had in my garage.

One of my favorite colors for the car actually. They're stunning machines

Outside of an Individual color, I agree, it was my favorite color. Sadly though, by my own decision, it is no longer in my garage.

Back to the M2 discussion. I wonder how Long Beach Blue will look in my garage ...

It'll look just fine. That's easily my color of choice if I go M2. Already planning the mods

After seeing both the Atlantis Blue F80 and a custom LBB painted E92 m3 at Bimmerfest east, I think I'm with you on LBB for an M2.. sick color, IMO

Got the #1 allocation at my local dealer... So ecstatic

I am so on the fence about LBB. Really hoping to see an x5/x6M to help me before that time comes. Currently in a love hate relationship (color, not the car) with a BSM 235 so that will be 2nd on the list.

I never thought I would drive a white car and am driving an AW 320x loaner right now, it's not ugly 😁

I saw a X6M in LBB at NY auto show and at UDE. The color is nice but somehow, up-close, the metallic paint looks a bit "grainy" not that smooth looking. still a nice color tho

thanks for the pic! that isn't bad, with black wheels and lots of cf I'm sure it will look good.

I'm scared of teal....

yeah, i like the color, i prefer LBB over EBII and YMB. its definitely not teal, i would say this photo is a fair representation of LBB, i saw a bunch of internet pics of LBB and its very "teal" which isn't so accurate

jasonheaddinG · 09-02-2015, 07:18 PM

that's great news! I used to be a huge blue fan so hopefully this will restore my appreciation.

fwiw, I really like YMB for some reason

Funny seeing the x6m badge take up the corner of the grille

While that photo is a fair representation under THAT light, it definitely can look teal in some light, in person.
