m3s are made in both lemans and interlagos...non-ms are made in lemans but not interlagos...

i'm sure you can find a lemans non-m sitting on a dealer lot...not exactly the same but pretty damn close...

I've seen a lot of non-Ms in lemans lately. I have to admit, I do wish it was an M only color like in the past.

Lemans, dare I say, does look a bit purple under some street lighting.

I'm pretty sure Melbourne is available on the Z4 and for some reason, BMW brought back Imola Red on the new 650

You sure it wasn't interlagos blue you saw? I have seen a couple of Lemans blue cars and there was ZERO purple in it. Interlagos and Lemans can look similar in some lighting but the only one I see purple in is Interlagos.

OP... great choice...

MCB is very nice. 5k is a bit large chunk for paint IMHO.
