Hi everyone. I'm looking into buying an E46 M3 coupe (manual of course) and I was wondering what all the different types of blue it came in and what's the easiest to find... for some reason I have my heart set on a blue car. I know there is one called Interlagos Blue (which I really like..) but what are some other options? I have also heard something about "Laguna Seca Blue"....

Laguna Seca Blue - aka smurf blue. one of my favorites but very polarizing. the launch model cars in 2001 were in this color with grey interior.
Interlagos Blue - later half of the E46 run and offered on the E9X M's as well.
Carbon Black - black with a purple/bluish tint to it.
Topaz Blue - nice medium metallic blue, very common

then there were the individual colors.

Silverstone - silver with a very subtle blue tint to it.
Blue Water - little more blue than silverstone. very light color in person.
Estoril Blue - From the E36 and looks stunning on an E46. beautiful medium-light blue. lighter than Topaz.
Lemans Blue - From the E39 M5 and available on E9X M3's. very nice deep-medium metallic blue with a little pearl in it.

just do a google search on any of these names with the car and you can find it.

LSB......

Hmm... LSB looks like it's very light dependent... I'm torn between that and Interlagos Blue :\

Here's another one I found of LSB, it looks much darker
