Yas Marina Blue vs Silverstone - which color looks better on the F80 M3?

[M3GymNut]

YMB is the worst color for the M3 in my opinion.

[Jockey]

SSII of course

I get compliments and questions about it all the time. It's a great color that changes hues depending on the environment.

One is unique and vibrant and the other is, well, silver. Nothing wrong with silver just as there is nothing wrong with vanilla ice cream. It simply exists for those who want to keep it simple.

Dude, get ur eyes checked bc it's far from "just silver" as you claim!
Cheers!

Can't go wrong with either. I have to admit yas wasn't my first choice, but it's really multihued in person.

I would have to say SS, probably the most underrated color in my opinion.

Silver stone is such a complex color- I love the blue flake. Mines a daily driver, so I love how it doesn’t require a weekly bath either after 10 years straight of black cars.

That being said, if this was a weekend or Roy car, i’d Go Yas in a heartbeat

What I actually got is completely different ... and it compliments my E36M3

at the graphics. Good looking m otherwise.

1) YMB is more than twice as common as SS if that matters to you
2) SS is more dynamic. shifts from blue/silver/goldish. it keeps the color from feeling 'old' i guess.
3) SS is easier to keep clean and shows off lines better.

i tried estoril with my last car, f30 335. honestly it got old after a while. too loud. so i avoided YMB.

I like it. And if you can't say something nice, better not saying anything at all, just be silent.

BMW always used some graphics on cars, starting with 2002 with similar Motorsport stripes, then e36 lightweight, this F80 was special built by BMW NA.

Good choice IMO. Alpine White is classic. I'm most likely going to paint my Tanzanite Blue F80 to Alpine White eventually.

Also, I love how you've modded the E36 Lightweight. It is stunning.

New York!

Finished 3-car garage "man cave".

I have a shed in the back too that fits 1 car because of the door, but with dolly would fit another car, plus a big carport in the back :-)
