Do you guys have any picture of the Laguna Seca blue M3 and Smurf blue?
I've decided to sell my NSX for the new M3 and I'm gonna go to the BMW dealer tomorrow to put down deposit. I'm thinking getting yellow or maybe blue, from what I know, they've 2 blue for the new M3?
Please post some pictures guys! thanks

I was told by my local dealer that if you're not already on the M3 waiting list (which I am) then you're looking at about an 18 month wait. You probably have plenty of time to gather pics.

Laguna Seca Blue is the so called "smurf" blue. That's people's nickname for it. Not at all bad IMHO, personally I'm getting the Phoenix Yellow.

Here are some photos of each that I took:

I saw a brand new Black M3, still had the paper plates, on the way home from work last night with a for sale sign on it. If anyone is interested I wrote down the number. I don't know how much he is asking but a friend said that they talked to him and after driving it the owner wanted a Boxster S instead.

I just came back from the dealership and the salesman has no idea how long I'll have to wait for the new M3.
I'll have to put down the deposit, then BMW will build the M3 specifically for me. From what I've seen, the phoenix yellow has too much gold color in it whereas the laguna seca blue has too much green color..both aren't the perfect color for me.
Anyone has picture of Topaz blue?
thanks!

Kelly blue Book shows the MSRP as a little over $45K. Fat chance, I'm sure. They also list the yellow as a $475 option.
