Santorini Blue/Kyalami Orange G80 M3 Competition

jvit27 · 05-26-2021, 12:24 AM

Saw this today while picking up my F31 from service at Stevens Creek BMW (San Jose). The color combo had me more excited than the car itself, what a GREAT spec. Had no idea they were producing Individuals so soon? Orange calipers would really set it off.

Apologies for not getting better pics showing the contrast but it just wasn't working with the shadow/glare. Maybe i'll have to go back...

BluM4 · 05-26-2021, 09:51 AM

Damn. I will go get it if it is a G82 without the carbon seat.

Mperor · 05-26-2021, 02:47 PM

You guys really think this color combo is good? I would think a lighter blue would go better?

_E90S65_ · 05-26-2021, 03:36 PM

That's a great blue. I dig the hints of grey in it, esp. in direct sunlight.

You can keep a well-optioned Competition with CF buckets and a true Individual color under $90k. G80 is a stunning deal.

evilalien · 05-26-2021, 03:59 PM

This is very close to what I want for my G80. I was wavering on going Individual for the paint. I'm not now.

IMO a lighter blue would be a bit too 'Gulf'. This combo really stands out as special without screaming for attention.

Santorini is such a dynamic color; it can range from Enzian to Voodoo depending on the light. Its hue probably changes 5x/day. Plus it's a very traditional Individual color which is cool too.

Ervin87 · 05-27-2021, 01:35 PM

Saw this in person as well. Color looks amazing in the shade. Didn't get to see in sunlight.

It also has a $10K markup.

What is Marina Bay Blue? I don't see that in the Individual config, is that like the YMB? I saw the YMB in person and I loved it!!! I think it is closer to the Mexico Blue since I cannot order YMB

It’s closer to SMB, but without the purple. I love em both but prefer the purple in SMB… thus why I have it on order

GOLFFRR · 06-02-2021, 08:37 AM

love the santorini blue color, wonder what the mark up is on that bad boy? Nice looking ride though no doubt.

I may end up ordering smb on opal or fiona buckets ... just need to see the other blues more in person

Opal would be nice with SMB. I'm doing silverstone

Not sure, I actually saw it pulling out the other day on a test drive. I won't be in that area again until next week. Will update if I see it... I hope it is because **** ADM.

Blue on Orange works. Trust me, I'm unfortunately a NY Mets fan.

This blue is also lighter than these photos reveal in real life.

The NY Knicks has this combo first. I prefer to call this a Knicksmobile.

Not really... That was why I posted the last pic to show a relative scale against other colors.

Patton250 · 06-02-2021, 05:07 PM

What a beautiful car. Absolutely sensational.

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 06-02-2021, 09:08 PM

vit27 - when I was there for parts a few days ago I noticed this car too. The $10k markup on the passenger rear quarter window made me laugh.

Good ol Steven's Creek making sure to charge top notch for everything on their lot.
