Navy Blue M3 sighted Toronto?

Hi guys - former Dinan 335i owner here and lurking around the M3/M5 board for a while now - looking to get into an M3 in the near future.

At about 5pm in the yonge/lawrence area I spotted a navy blue M3 passing the other direction in heavy traffic. Now I had it in sights for about 5-6 seconds but no mistaking the front end and fender flares and 4 doors - this was an F80 M3. No time for a phone pic!

This was not Yas Marina Blue, or silverstone or mineral gray or black. I've seen the YMB and I know the difference. This was not a 335i with sport package or a 435 either.

Dark navy blue - i'd say a similar tone to the 2013+ audi s4 navy blue.

So is this possible or am I just seeing things?
