Ordered a Pure Blue G80 to match my LSB E46 M3

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I ordered a Pure Blue G80 M3 AWD hoping it would match my LSB E46 M3 since BMW won’t do LSB as an individual anymore. I think it’s a little too bright, probably will order a Violet blue next year as a 25 or 26 model. This might be the only Pure Blue AWD G80 as I only know one other one but it’s a manual. My LSB E46 in the sun for reference. Enjoy 😄

Awesome color & I think that's pretty close to an exact match.

Laguna Seca blue was my favorite color when the e46 M3 came out, and 20 years later looks just as beautiful as I remember.

That pure blue looks just as stunning on your G80… great color on an awesome car

Almost picked this color for the G80 (since first try was LSB) but seeing it on F90 M5 and F30 340i Mperf, it was no way near my LSB. The closest is blue bay lagoon now but it has less green.

Still looking very good on G80 !! Congrats on new car

I think the color looks pretty sweet on the G80. What’s the specs?

Beautiful spec!! I was thinking about LSB until I heard you can’t get it. I must say Pure Blue looks even better IMO. Congrats. Still thinking about yes or no on the carbon buckets. How do you like them?

That window sticker will be worth millions in 50 years when someone collector wants the "Pure Bllue Typo Individual G80" window sticker on ebay. Save it!

Did you just say you’re going to order another G80 because this one didn’t match the color of your E46 enough?

If you want a color close to LSB I would do Bay blue lagoon. It is pretty damn close. Seen in person and I 100% thought it was LSB.

Bay Blue Lagoon is metallic, LSB wasn’t. Aside from that, they do seem close, in photos anyway.
