Not saying it looks bad, but I'm not sure if I like SMB here as much as on the F8x.
However, it may simply be that the black wheels worsen the appearance, they sure don't help IMHO. |

Can’t wait for mine! Glad I got the bi-color wheels. Can you post a link to the thread on that other forum?

One thing I've realized during my obsessive search for what color I want is that cameras simply cannot capture very dynamic colors, particularly those with high metallic effect, very well. These pics seems to crush any highlight detail in the paint.
I'm sure it looks great live as the body design has plenty of curves/edges to take advantage of the extremely flake effect of San Marino. |

After months of deliberating color choices, my San Marino M3 is about to go into production. I also chose the bi-color wheels, which I think should help. |

In person the color is just insane, it’s such a hard color to capture accurately with a camera. I love it

My CA was not happy when I asked him about the last minute change, since I just moved to scheduled for production (Week 41!). He insists that changing the color will push it much father back (although BMW genius disagrees). |

That being said, SMB is an awesome color, and I would stick with it if I were in your shoes. |

I think that the pictures here just didn't capture it very well. I was hoping to see amazing pictures of a G8x in SMB but these let me down.
I'm not gonna stress though, I'm sure that we will see better pictures pop up while we wait for ours.. which is so tough. I'm week 45.. been waiting since June.

I can confirm the color is superb to witness in person.
I own a F36 440xi in SMB and it's stunning, and the only pictures i can get close to reality are those shot during night under street lights (not the yellowish ones though). Congrats on your purchases guys. |
