(E90) Official Interlagos Blue M3 Sedan Thread

PicassoM wrote

i've really been on the fence between MR and IB... how is the IB holding up and has anyone had issues with the paint or regrets on the color choice.

Right now I have a IB with Speed Cloth on order (E90). I'm nearing the deadline on my decision so just looking for feedback!

Thanks!

No regrets here. When i ordered it i was afraid it would look "childish" after awhile. A year later im still very happy with my choice.

If that's the case, go with the white. You'd see the pollen within hours after you wash the car if you left it outside. It's not easy to hide any thing on IB.

So true. Pollen really shows up. White is better than IB in this regard, but I think silver/gray is even better than white. And IMO the CF roof goes best with space gray.

But, having said all of that, I like my IB. When it's clean it really looks good.


Cheers.

Mine sits outside right now, while I wait to upgrade to a larger garage. It is a pain to keep pristine, but worth every second for a great color, IMHO. I hit it with the California Duster just about every morning, and that keeps her looking good. Also, a Griot's Spray-On Wax each time I wash helps keep it fresh between detailing. Go for the IB....you'll love it!!

awesome!! I love this combo! any more pics of the car showing the interior?

With the stock gunmetal wheels, would it look better to leave the chrome grill or swap out to a CF set? I am trying to balance the colors of the car.

previous owner of my car had the flat black grill installed, I like it better then the chrome. If I had to buy something I would probably get the BMW performance one since it matches the side trim better.

that helped. I went ahead and ordered the grills from Turner.

Here is mine.

I have ordered the OEM Black Chrome Exhaust Tips, Satin Grills, Satin Gills, and OEM Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps and Carbon Fiber Performance Spoiler so when they are installed I'll add some more pictures.







Here are the latest updates.

My favorite color on an M, but I'm afraid if I buy it I'll regret it. I've had black cars all my life and currently sold my E46 sedan which was blk/blk and am thinking of IB/Blk M3 ,but and worried after a while I'll get bored of him.

I know this was a LONG time ago, but do you recall if this car had speed cloth and NO EDC? Was it a BMW Press Car? I think I may have just bought this car.

Let me know if you can recall...

From the pictures posted above, that car appears to have the gray leather interior.

Seeking a 2011 Interlagos Blue e90 M3 Sedan with very low miles (<80k) with DCT Transmission. ZCP would be a nice bonus. I am in SoCal, but looking nationwide.

My 2009 M3 e90 Interlagos Blue Sedan with DCT has over 175k miles on it and is worn out. M3 has a wonderful Terra Leather Interior. Lemans Blue or Space Gray are also highly desirable colors. Ok Silvertone too.

Cheers
