Beautiful

Absolutely gorgeous & well-done, as well...

Would give up my Lemans blue in a heartbeat for that color, or Estoril.

Thank you! It is a great color and it changes with the light in quite an interesting way. One of the best looks is when it's overcast or near dusk.

Removing all traces of chrome yet keeping the car looking as close to OE but more aggressive was the motivation for this project. The simple color scheme of blue and black seems to work well, with the only departure being the brakes that match the tail lights

What are the sizes and offsets on the wheels.

Thank You very much for replying. If you do not mind me asking one more question what suspension are you running.

1 - Great seeing an Edition M3. The small details like the reverse painted mirrors are cool.

2 - Props on the mods! I will join the gang and say I am excited to see an operating Harrop SC!

I'm just running H&R springs, (sport) They drop the car to just a nice stance I think and there are zero clearance issues with the wheels, even with passengers on a back road, the tires do not hit the guards or guard liners

Thank you. Your car looks amazing... do you have a thread on yours?

The guys at Harrop do manufacture brilliant products including their BBK. You won't be disappointed when you see the kit.

Thanks once again!

I really like this Monte Carlo blue color... it has a bit of metallic in it?

Yes it has, it was the replacement color for Estoril Blue when BMW were no longer able to use the solvents previously used

It's a great color, I'd love to see a shot of a Santorini, Leguna Seca and Monte Carlo blue side by side.
