G80 M3 Competition in Gulf Blue

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Here is a G80 M3 Competition in Gulf Blue.

Whilst this is not the original paint colour for this car, the Gulf Blue colour has been painted on to the car which acts like a shield system (similar to PPF but using a special paint instead).

Just needs some Gulf logos if you like that sort of thing!

This color reminds me of the new M2 zandvoort blue . Something about it I don't like. I think this color only works on a 911 or something small and roundish.

Although this color didn't work for the G87, it seems to work for the G80. But this wheel gap though

I feel like the blues in general really suit this car well.

The KO interior helps seal the deal on that Gulf look.

Not bad but not a color I'd pick for the G80. Doesn't seem bold or aggressive enough for this car.
