First Look at F30 in Yas Marina Blue Individual and Closeup Paint Samples

COMMENTS

The recent F80 M3 spy video (reposted below) and order guide revealed and confirmed the Yas Marina Blue Metallic color for the upcoming 2014 M3 and M4. While the video gave us a general sense of how the color looks, its grainy quality doesn't showcase the color adequately. So, we'll show you more...

Here is a Yas Marina Blue F30 320d. The color will be available for the standard 3 Series as a BMW Individual color. No word yet on what market will receive it or when it will become available.

That last image perfectly illustrates why it's futile to gauge the true color of any paint sample in pictures given how drastically various lighting conditions can affect the tone of that color.

It's still a few months until Easter...

seamasters · 11-02-2013, 03:13 AM

thats a horrible blue. BMW has to stop experimenting with the blues.

remmib · 11-02-2013, 11:31 AM

Not me kind of blue, and it look weird on a regular f30, might work on some cracy modded M car.

EHDEN · 11-03-2013, 10:27 AM

cute. just not for me. gotta see it in person

Seagull · 11-03-2013, 10:44 AM

Not for me. Hope this fad will pass. Then again, I thought that about VO and then when I saw it in person, it changed my mind.

carzaddict · 11-03-2013, 11:26 AM

i thought it looked decent in the video, and then i saw the pics....nah

infinitigor · 11-03-2013, 12:58 PM

x2 unique color, but looks off on a stock car. maybe nice for a girl as stock, can't wait to see this modded in the coming months
