FINALLY - just a few pics of my Azurite Black e92...
At long last, the weather has picked up a little bit (spring has been a long time coming up here in my neck of the woods).
Man, Azurite is a tough colour to photograph, to depict its true colour accurately. I tried, but somewhat unsuccessfully. BIG shout out must go to Nate at IND, for the mods. Unbelievable communications, FAST service, and man - he is one funny dude Please be kind with the critiqueing - I am (clearly, lol) not a photographer.... I do have the black kidney griles, and the black side gills, but undecided about installing them... opinions, please?? I just thought I'm not really doing the murdered out thing (especially with thte brushed finish P43s), so maybe the little bit of chrome (usually, a BIG YUCK in my book), isn't too bad. Still playing around with ride height (LOOOOVE these KWs, Nate.... cheers) - don't like the ghetto-slammed look - opinions also appreciated with this, too! Have the Eisenmann Sport coming (there was a REASON there are no shots showing the ass end, lol) from Nate, too. Cheers, all. The amount I have learned from the forum is immense. Oh - apologies if the satuation is way out of whack. My monitor is on its last legs, and I have problems discerning.....

One can still order Jerez in Canada. Azurite is just one of the BMW Individual colours available to those markets that can avail of the program. It is extra cost. It looks like Jerez in photos, but when you view them side-by-side, the Azurite's blue is richer, and deeper, with slightly more pronouced flakes. Is it worth the extra dough? Who knows. I wanted to be unique, and don't really pay much heed to those that think otherwise

Absolutely beautiful, love the wheels.
Black grills/gills are a must, they'll look great. Those pics are better then I can do - great job!

Allan has been one of the best customers that I have ever worked with! This is one classy M. After seeing Azurite in person it has become one of my favorite colors
Allan let me know what you think of the new Challenge diffuser http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=263723

I think you are right with the black grilles. I think the chrome grilles may look better with your wheels. If you're not sure why not try them on, post the pics and I'm sure you'll get some feed back?
In any case great looking car. |

Thank you, everyone.
I must admit, it was kind of a leap of faith ordering the colour. I REALLY like Jerez, and all I had to go on, was this 6" x 8" colour "sample" that the dealer had. It was scratched up beyond recognition, but, after some help from an M5 forum, I got some pretty fair pics of the colour, and ordered it. No regrets. I love the colour. Having access to piano black (with inlay, LOL ! ) was pretty cool, too. I'm just surprised that you can't Individualize the M3 to nearly the same extent as the regular 3 series. I am also quite amazed that they won't give you guys south of the border access to BMW Individual. I have heard that to process an Individual car, they more or less have to stop the production line momentarily. I guess if you are trying to accommodate your company's largest single market, that could get pretty time-consuming. At any rate, thank you for the comments, and opinions. Much appreciated. Now, once the other stuff comes from Nate, I'll get someone that knows what they're doing with a camera.... Nate - for me, I think the Vorsteiner Type II diffuser is a little more subtle, and more for me. We'll talk soon - thanks, man.
