Laguna Seca Blue

Wild Squid · 04-29-2011, 04:56 PM

Why doesn't BMW have this color available anymore? Was it only a one time deal with the E46 M3? I ordered my 335i, and I would have loved to have this color. Also why is Sparkling Graphite not available for the E92's anymore? It used to be. I would have given this serious consideration as well. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Alpine White, especially how it looks on coupes, but just have to wonder what could have been with the other colors.

they still got it. it's one of those expensive "individual" colors now. gotta special order from bmw and pay an additional 5k for the paintjob. they also must approve the color selection. they only allow a certain # of m3s to be painted this way ea yr.

This is how I feel about monaco blue...It's just how BMW does things I guess, their color offerings change a lot throughout the years. Vermillion Red, Mojave Metallic, Deep Sea blue, no deep green, no arctic metallic etc. In a perfect world I'd have a Monaco Blue E92 Msport with terra interior, but unfortunately this never exsisted...

On a side note, the color threads on this forum really need to be updated...

They probably want to keep it as an exclusive color so they can rape people for it in the future.

I wish they'd bring Estoril back, although that was because of environmental concerns.

It's a ridiculously good color. I think it's best to keep it rare.

On the side it was called "Smurf Blue"maybe that's why.I did like it too but you can be spotted about a mile away with that color.
