Help identifying this color

JFIV · 12-19-2021, 03:28 PM

Hey. So I saw on IG a post from BMW Space at the grove in LA of what I believe to be a Yas Marina Blue G80. Could anyone confirm this color way as I don’t see it as an individual option. I have a allocation at Steve Camarillo BMW for a summer build and have them investigating as well to see if this is an option.

Thanks

Looks like Yas Marina Blue

JFIV · 12-19-2021, 03:51 PM

I wonder if this will be an individual option for 23

chicagofan00 · 12-19-2021, 04:49 PM

Definitely looks like YMB from those photos.

Not sure about that one. Riviera Blue looks to be a different shade. But maybe it’s the lighting

I think they are only allowing some colors for a special anniversary edition and I think yas marina was one of them.. It will be commemorative model with colors from all eras of the M3s. there was an announcement in the front page a month or so ago.

canigetaxm · 12-19-2021, 10:14 PM

maybe thats why yas isn't available right now , they wanted to make it exclusive to the 50th aniv edition.

The special colours will be available for a number of models, not just special editions. I'm considering waiting for Macau Blue G80 xDrive.

JFIV · 01-07-2022, 12:22 PM

Just got confirmation that Yas won’t be available for the 22 model but they believe it will be for 23 builds. Luckily and unfortunately my allocation won’t be available till sometime May or June so I’ll just have to wait and see.

You can already get Macao Blue

If that color is not YMB, then my guess would be Maritime Blue (P7P) if I had to pick one from the Individualizer site.

I think Maritime is a bit darker than that.

ROBERT1183 · 01-07-2022, 03:44 PM

It def does look similar to Ymb if its not. But the G80 wears it well

would be a nice spec.

Professor///M · 01-07-2022, 03:45 PM

That looks like YMB. YMB looks so different in different lighting. When it's inside I feel it picks up more purplish hues, when outside it looks more blue. I also think it really doesn't photograph well to truly capture the color.

jkap27 · 01-07-2022, 03:49 PM

looks like it has the yas interior also so i would be shocked if they put a shade similar to but not actually yas on the exterior.

shapiros · 01-07-2022, 05:14 PM

This one is at Pacific BMW in Glendale and appears to be YMB, 6MT too: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/new/se...318937462/NONE

Listed as Santorini Blue in the vehicle locator for BMW

JFIV · 01-07-2022, 06:15 PM

That’s a nice spec. However Glendale wants 10-15k over all their M cars.

JFIV · 01-07-2022, 06:18 PM

Also I thought it might be Santorini Blue as well. But even in the same light as pictured below it’s no where near the same

They told me 20K for an allocation, walked right out the door. A shame as they're close to me.

These idiots will be begging people on their knees to buy from them under sticker soon enough. Give it time.

The entire world will be sitting on too much supply after 1-2 years. Mark my words. We are experiencing "inflation" that's been artificially created - in the form of one stimulus after another - and is currently on life-support.

What is ACTUALLY going on behind the curtain is the world is building up massive deflationary pressure that will erupt very soon.

The car bubble will be the first to burst. I can promise you that. Oh it's coming. Give it time.
