I think the one I saw had the CF roof too - I honestly don't remember. I know they had one of each there (you can see them both in pictures from different days, and someone snapped pictures of the alternates in the parking garage too).

I was in Detroit and they would not let me in the car initially.. I had a print out invoice/inquiry with me and knew more about the cars than the reps. They immediately let me in all cars and the cars are super nice inside. The HK stereo sounded great also. The Chicago cars look like the ones from Detroit and the YMB M3 did not have CCB.
My M3 to come this June |

I'll take your word for it. I seered the images of the YMB color into my brain but didn't spend time looking at the roof. And I once I sat in the car I stopped paying attention to the exterior.
I know there was one with a CF roof there too though, because I saw pics on the forum. Same thing with the standard brakes. |

I should add - assuming this is the same Black Sapphire M4 I sat in in Detroit that I think the Silverstone leather was holding up quite well. I sat in a 2015 Regal Red GT-R and the new beige leather had already picked up a lot of blue jeans dye.
Sitting in a Veyron for the first time was trip. The motor right behind you is enormous. Also I should reiterate something I mentioned after Detroit - I would advise people to not order YMB unless you've seen it in person. It looks different than in the pictures in my opinion.

Have there been any pictures that you have seen accurately represent the color?

I have a question for those that seen the cars in person. I noticed in some of the pictures that the dash gauges lights are blue and not your typical BMW amber color lights can someone verify this.

I think the YMB is different. I recall the one at NAIAS having the full (or extended or whatever is more expensive) leather, but this one has the regular leather. But I could be wrong.
No Austin Yellow at this one either, which is too bad. More people should see that color in person. |

No color looks the same in all conditions, so it is important to understand the full range if you are the type of person who gets put off by a color thinking it looks good in one setting but then realizing later it has different features that pop out in another. There is a thread about YMB here where people are expressing opinions: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=939259 And there are lots of photos throughout the forum to peruse. Check them all out and you'll get a sense for the varied personalities this color has. |

What many people have failed to do, surprisingly, is to use a high quality DSLR and take RAW pictures and post process them using different white balances. But don't worry, your semi-professional photographer friend Stig is going to take thousands of pictures and videos of these next week in Philly Auto Show and post them here. I just hope they have YMB there.
