Take the L and move on. BMW said the car in that photo is Mexico.

Edit:

Which is sort of crazy that we’re even arguing about, if you have ever seen Miami blue in person you would know it looks - nothing - like that.

Absolutely agree that it did not look like Miami in the first photo -- but it approached Miami in the second photo! The photo above looks like Mexico. My M3 Mexico Blue build will be completed June 15 -- will post pics!

As I understand it, (i) Lemetier has first-hand knowledge that this is Miami and/or (ii) saw the unprocessed, raw photo, while the instagram account might have some color-picker-to-individual app that printed out "Mexico" when they ran it on the final version of the photo.

It's also not the first time that Lemetier was right about the individual color of a BMW photo shoot car, and BMW social had to correct their statements afterwards.

Not saying you're wrong, just that what BMW Social says shouldn't been taken as gospel and the press photos routinely are color-corrected to a large degree.

Checked the 24 hrs of Sebring entry list this a.m. and found an interesting addition. Believe late entry, wasn't there a couple of weeks ago. Look forward to watching at race pace, I'll try to grab some photos
