Bay Area Interlagos Blue owners

tbone28 · 05-18-2012, 09:54 PM

Hi all, new member here getting ready to order a '13 E92. I can't decide between interlagos and le mans blue. I've seen le mans in person.

I'm hoping I can meet with an interlagos owner so I can check out your car. Thanks in advance

Hopefully you find one cause I've yet to see a pic that captures it accurately.

Thanks. I saw one at the dealer today, but it was roped up in the middle of their showroom and so they couldn't bring it out into the sun.

I am in San Mateo, where are you located?

Hey, thanks for offering! But I've decided on le mans.

Agree with M3PO. Interlagos Blue looks different in different lighting situations. I don't have an M3 anymore, but it's my favorite color on the M6

Yeah, both the interlagos and le mans are very nice true blues under sunlight, with the IB a little darker. It's in the shade where the IB differs. It has a purplish hue to it, which is nice, but I am looking for a true blue car, and the LM stays blue in shade.
