Wasn't LSB the first color offered on the E46 M3? Since that day, it's really been a love it or hate it color. Personally, I've always thought of it as Light Smurf Blue, BUT, there are a lot of people who absolutely love it. On the E46, at least, throwing on some dark tints and dark wheels make it look a bit better, at least for me. Congrats to the owner, though. Not my taste in color, but having a paint-to-sample car is pretty cool.

LSB looks average at best on the e92. I love it on the e46, though.

I have a feeling this might not look good on the E92, and the cell phone pic is not helping, but it did look good on the E46 with some contrast from tint & wheels as you are saying. I'm still waiting for better pics though for the E92, and I bet tint and wheels would help in this case as well. But, yes, congrats to the owner. I don't mean to spoil the party or anything.

Definitely.

For the record - I think this car looks unbelievable. Can't wait to see some real camera photos.

Phoenix Yellow

Looks Good!!!!

tizzyd · 11-09-2008, 05:24 PM

oh wow, we once had a Phoenix Yellow/Kiwi E46 M3 come through our dealership, it actually looked pretty interesting, but i think dakar yellow is too pale, ive never liked it. Phoenix yellow looks really really good on the E92! Now if only they would paint it Techno Violet.....

BMWI6 · 11-09-2008, 05:31 PM

damn this thing is so fucking beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we NEED some PICS asap...

GR8TNESS · 11-11-2008, 05:08 PM

Hmm different it is! but I think some colors are better off left alone.

I live in Laurel. Just let me know when you get back.

Phoenix Yellow would be a great one off color for the E92.

Hopefully we'll see the LSB E92 at BMFeast next year. H2, you're going to have to make the drive.

I'll be there. I actually drove up there this year in my Mountaineer (haha) to take a look at the cars.

Krueger///M3 · 11-12-2008, 12:42 PM

I love it! Great choice man. I want to see a phoenix yellow sedan now!

marty_mcfly · 11-12-2008, 01:44 PM

So it looks like the car is completed -- right?

Where is the car now, and what is the projected delivery date?

Yes the car is done. It's been in South Carolina since Oct 30. I pick it up at the PDC on Nov 21. I'll post pics a few days later in this thread.
