Was at the dealer today saying goodbye to my 3 series (lease was up) and they were pulling this into the showroom. Sales guy told me it was the first one they've gotten.

Not sure of the exact color -- perhaps Long Beach blue

There are only 4 colors. It is Long Beach Blue. What dealership?

It is not a launch car. It was just there during Saturday.

Well, I just assumed it was the same car that was talked about in the thread below. It might be a launch car, I'm too far away to confirm.

Yes,I think this is a different car,so it probably is a launch car.

Nice shot! Too bad you did not record a video for the exhaust sound!

When is a Southern California dealer going to get one for a day or so????

Man I'm liking LBB more everyday.

This is not a car that was being delivered. It is being driven to dealers for a day or two to be shown. This car was dropped off Friday afternoon for the Saturday event and will be in Chandler from 11 to 6 tomorrow. Looking at it my guess is it had 5,000 or more miles, pitting on the side in front of the rear wheel and pitting around the exhaust. Looking at it makes me think I want to have more clear bra put in front of that rear wheel.

It was love at first sight for me, and I still love that color. Way back in the 70's, I got one of the first Bill Davidson handmade bicycle frames in a similar metallic blue color. Still have that bike. It's nowhere near as striking on a bicycle... Those expanses of sculptured metal on the M2 in LBB are luminous, even in photos.

Never a question. That's the color.

Thanks for confirming it is not a launch car.

The interesting thing about that car as a pre-production car is that it had the narrow non navigation iDrive screen.
