2022 M3 Black Blue

ando · 10-01-2022, 11:57 AM

Hey everyone I'm sharing my 2022 M3 Black Blue I ordered last year and delivered this summer because it was just detailed with great pics from Luminescent Detailing.

I ordered this car with the specs below to replace a 2020 X3 M:

•xDrive
•Black Blue (W32)
•Silverstone Extended
•Parking Assistance
•19/20 M double spoke bi-color wheels style 826M
•Extended Shadowline trim deletion
•Black calipers
•CFRP interior trim
•Icon Adaptive LED Headlights with Laserlight

After driving the G8Xs at BMW Performance Center I was really impressed and in daily use it's just as good. I'm adding some winters this fall for road trips but will keep it stock. If there's one change I'd like to make but won't is reducing the front tire fender gap due to needing the clearance. I selected the paint to draw a connection to my first BMWs being Jet Black so this color is basically a dark blue version.

Great shots! Nicely spec’d! Black\Blue is so underrated!

That is a beautiful color!

JEM3 · 10-01-2022, 02:32 PM

Great color!

I think I saw it at luminescent detail when I was picking up mine from there

IDKBRO · 10-01-2022, 02:32 PM

Insane color , never heard of it though !
But I'm drooling over the thought of Xpel stealth wrapping it , would be unreal.

Chubbiejones · 10-01-2022, 02:41 PM

Very nice 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Classy. I really like the silverstone interior with this color.

How much did the individual paint end up costing?

Great color, they could have just called it solid navy.

FranckF1 · 10-02-2022, 06:10 AM

Wow! Looks a lot like Tanzanite Blue! Great choice!
