Update With First pics.

I love that Yellow...reminds me of my Speed Yellow 997S

Excellent color..although I'll tell you, Yellow is a love or hate color.

I love the color. I don't know if I'd get it on a sedan though (except if I ever get a smaller sports car)

BMWRL · 06-02-2011, 11:45 AM

That's beautiful man!

It won't look quite as taxicab once it get's it's company and track graphics. This will be a DD for my real estate sales and a NASA time trial car for myself and Derek. I do agree the coupe with the cf roof would be better but I needed the 4-door for the DD role.

Picking it up by trailer in Little Rock on the 9th and breaking it in properly on track with NASA Rocky Mountain region at Hallett the 11th-12th.

Wow! Phenomenal! Love it. Love it. Love it.

Well, with so few choices among stock e90/92 for sharp colors: white (alpine or mineral) & crimson red. This Atacama Yellow is definitely unique. Making this individual color with black interior will be worth it.

While I do not like yellow cars, I do like it better than Dakar

switch311 · 06-02-2011, 01:07 PM

Not normally a fan of yellow but this is sexy

rooringhusky · 06-02-2011, 01:13 PM

I personally like the Dakar better! But no doubt this is still very very beautiful!

Heres my take..I think the Porsche fits this rich, yellow color better...as crazy as it sounds the 370z also fits it better too..I think this even the M3 in this color would look better if it was a Coupe!

But for some reason the M3 Sedan doesn't fit well with such a rich color...Sedan would be better in Dakar imo

At the end of the day its a personal thing so everyone has different preference..the car is still

and I would be caught staring at it if I ever saw it on the road

nachob · 06-02-2011, 01:24 PM

LOVE IT! IMHO much better on this car than Dakar or Phoenix!

Love to see guys not getting grey or black!

VenomBMW · 06-02-2011, 01:32 PM

Looks great. I've seen that color on a 2011 Z4 and it's pretty unique.

goto35 · 06-02-2011, 01:33 PM
