I could never figure out how they named LSB, except maybe by looking at the portapotties in the paddock. The mustardy yellow that came out a little later was also pretty bad.

There's like only one BMW here in Seoul that's blue. It is a bright dot of nonconformity.

Phoenix Yellow? That was pretty bad too. Yeah, the only blue at LS were the rumble strips, and they weren't hideous blue.

Silverstone ugly? That was the best color on the e39 m5. Unfortunately guys who drive silver cars have the equivalent swagger of those who shop at brooks brothers.

Regardless, jet black is the greatest color of all time.

Just looks silver to me. Not sure why it's ugly?

It has a pale blue tinge to it IRL --- a pretty subtle color that's totally appropriate for a 5 series. I'm not a blue car person, but one of the best BMW colors ever is Le Mans Blue.

My beef with Silverstone is the ugly faint blue tinge to it. I think TiAg is a far better color, and responds to mods much better.

I personally love LSB, but it only works on the E46 M3. But again, it's a really hard color to mod. Most of the LSB M3's I see that are modded look bad. Dunno what it is about that color.

Jet Black is my least favorite color on the M3. Hides all the lines. Carbon Black is infinitely better.

Phoenix Yellow? I used to DESPISE this color, but then I saw this beauty and it became my favorite:

And here are some Individual M3's:

INSANE INTERIOR!!

ATLANTIS

I'm sure you're a great person but you're painfully wrong on all accounts friend.

When you actually wake up to one of these cars in your garage, get back to me.

That's the color Jeremy Clarkson would term baby puke green.

I prefer gunmetal grey, with even darker matte rims(not black) and amaretto Audi interior.

It's all about color coordination man..

With gold wheels? Perhaps some mesh?

I think I'd have to pick Silverstone over LSB... every time I see LSB, I think the person is driving around in a car they bought from a roadside Navajo turquoise jewelry shop.
