SMB is a great color. It gets a lot of attention
I had an F80 M3CS in SMB and every time I drove that car, literally for three years , people complimented me on that color.
I owned a bunch of other cars like GT3RS, R8 etc and they never got the attention like the M3CS , and I think it was the color that got all the attention

SMB is a stunner, and is more appreciated when seen in person. I'm on year 2 of my F82 in SMB and it turns heads anywhere I go. Gonna be hard returning it next year for a G80 and going a diff individual color.

It's like Interlagos on steroids. I loved IB and when I saw SMB, I was flabbergasted, it's. Great color!

When spec'ing the options, I first thought the red calipers would clash with the orange interior, but now I have the car for a month, I'm really liking the red calipers.

You could always get another SMB! 😀
Go with Velvet Blue on your G80!

Trying to keep this as stock as possible.
I really like darker wheels, especially with all the black trim on the car.

Well, I respect your opinion. I wasn't trying to get the fastest sedan on the road. With the money I spent, could've gone with an M3C Xdrive.

I'm an old school. Here's a little backstory, if you're interested, why I picked this car.

The Last Hurrah: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1902487

Every bimmer I've owned has been manual (well, with the exception of the X3) and I intent to keep it that way as long as I have the opportunity.

It's the best looking BMW blue color I've seen all time and I'm a black or silver car guy.

SMB is, IMO, one of the most stunning blue paints ever created for an automobile. It's just fantastic. Great looking car!
