Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

It was a long 6 month wait since ordering back in June, but today was finally delivery day. The past few days my CA has been sending me photos of the car, today was the first time seeing it with my own eyes! I am so glad I went with SMB, it's incredible. The photos look pretty good, but man... in person this color is nuts.

Say yo on instagram: awd_m3

Specs:
2022 M3 Comp AWD
San Marino Blue Individual
Silverstone/Black Extended + Carbon Fiber Trim
Carbon Bucket Seats
Executive Package
Parking Assist Package
Laser Lights + M Shadowline Option
Black Calipers
Bi-Color 826m Wheels

I have a set of painted reflectors that I'll be installing ASAP... I'll be doing some real photoshoots, but for now here are some iPhone photos.

CodyAXM · 11-29-2021, 10:19 PM

Effing perfect.

Seedster2 · 11-29-2021, 10:23 PM

Perfect exterior and interior color combination

MMM.PWR · 11-30-2021, 12:59 AM

Lovely color. Best blue out there. Congratulations!

jlevy73 · 11-30-2021, 01:32 AM

Wow, sexy!!

locoe90 · 11-30-2021, 02:45 AM

Man that color is sickk!!

Johnathanz32 · 11-30-2021, 03:34 AM

yeah that blue makes me want to return my car.

playswcars · 11-30-2021, 07:36 AM

Unreal, I am now strongly considering SMB as an option for my Touring build. Enjoy it in good health!

amzbimmer · 11-30-2021, 07:37 AM

Love it, I almost did silverstone, but I was concerned my little guy might wreck the back seats.

I'm going to try the car pro leather ceramic to see if it helps shield the seats against future catastrophe.

I have a 3 year old who loves to kick the back of a seat. I’m getting PPF done in a couple weeks including the backs of the seats for that very reason. I’m also going to ceramic coat the leather… Should be enough protection.

gofast182 · 11-30-2021, 02:41 PM

Fantastic combo. SMB is the most beautiful blue ever to grace an automobile IMHO.

luckylingy · 11-30-2021, 08:36 PM

Beautiful color and fantastic color combination!! I also opted for Silverstone and will be using CarPro leather coating (actually taking it with me to the Performance Center). I might well have chosen San Marino had I known when I ordered mine that I was purchasing to keep vs. 'renting' it for 3 years.

ChargerHellcat · 11-30-2021, 10:27 PM

Absolutely sick. This is my second favorite color on the M3s . It's how I fell in love with e90 gen M3. The color is so deep and rich. It's the main reason why I couldn't go with PB when I knew this blue existed. Great choice.

Marshall@ViscontiTuning · 11-30-2021, 11:24 PM

Thats a killer spec. Looks awesome!

jpsimon · 12-01-2021, 10:47 AM

Painted reflectors and car seat installed... Seats will be PPF'ed Dec 13 along with other high-impact areas (full front/sideskirts/rear bumper)

OF Hero · 12-01-2021, 11:59 AM

the GOAT blue.
