Change the color of my E92 M3 to Monte Carlo Blue

StrifeM3 · 07-18-2014, 12:12 AM

Im not a fan..

GTB/ZR-1 · 07-18-2014, 06:17 AM

It's going to look great...

I'd change my LMB to Estoril in a heartbeat, but would cost a mint to do.

Speaking of cost... May we ask how much to do this?

LeMans is also nice. I thought about getting the Estoril II, but since Monte Carlo is an official M3 colour, I thought that would be a better choice.

I am paying THB110,000 or about USD3,400, including a new clear coat to the roof and repaiting calipers red.

GTB/ZR-1 · 07-18-2014, 09:36 AM

That's a DEAL!

Amirsm3 · 07-18-2014, 09:59 AM

Daaaaaamnnnn looks good.

Brian0473 · 07-18-2014, 10:33 AM

That color is the balls.

Tra08R · 07-18-2014, 08:48 PM

Awesome keep us posted! I would like a change of color too but hard choice

BobS · 07-20-2014, 06:32 PM

Great choice, that color looks great. Please post final pics!

INNOVATE_1 · 07-20-2014, 06:36 PM

Ok guys. Here is the final result. Just a few pics using mobile cam, and a couple shots from the shop owner. Needless to say I am happy with the results ...

Just need some new wheels now

Amirsm3 · 08-17-2014, 01:38 PM

Really beautiful blue! I like.

Yvette · 08-17-2014, 01:50 PM

I have to agree, it looks better than the black you had.
not a fan of murdered look.
I would have gone LSB or Estoril blue instead tho.

Love the Monte Carlo blue , thinking that it's not so easy to paint (spray) with Monte Carlo , it seems that a perfect job was done here !
Looks very good !

Denk · 08-17-2014, 02:40 PM

Congrats! Brave move and looks like it turned out great! I've thought about getting my e92's done in my fave E46 Silver/Gray many times.

Datsik · 08-17-2014, 03:08 PM

Turned out GREAT!!

As far as my eye can see, its a perfect job. I felt a tear in my eye the first time I saw it. No picture can defend how it looks in real

I chose this over Estoril, as the Estoril has never been delivered with a E92 M3, Monte Carlo has..
