Petition to re-introduce Laguna Seca Blue to the BMW colors

GewoW · 03-27-2008, 09:56 AM

Hello all,

I have formally requested the re-introduction of Laguna Seca Blue as a color on the '09 year line-up for a select number of vehicles (of BMW's choice), as well as the E92 M3. It is without a doubt one of the nicest colors previously available for the E46 M3, and even if one did not particularly have the taste for it, there was no denying its presence. It has ever since become a rarity, after its discontinuation in 2004-2005. Here are some pictures to illustrate the color:

Taken from 'http://www.heitz.us/My_Car.htm'.

For this cause, I have created a petition addressed to Frank-Peter Arndt, the head of production @ BMW Group. There is no way this will ever make any impact if people do not sign. With enough participation, the petition can make a difference. For this, I ask you, the BMW enthusiast, to sign this petition so that you, or others like you, can enjoy this color on their future car. I also ask you to please forward this link to anyone that you may know of that would support this request.

I would really appreciate this from all of you. I do believe that you and I, as loyal BMW owners and/or enthusiasts, can make a difference.

Here is the link: http://www.petitiononline.com/lsbreint/petition.html

I would also request for you to join my Facebook or MySpace groups that I have created for this petition located below:

Please invite your FRIENDS!

The petition asks you for a name and an email. The name is publicly displayed, as is evident, but the email is displayed at your discretion and I assure you that I will never know of it. It is just there so that a confirmation can be sent to you after you sign, confirming that you have signed, and not requiring you to click anything.

My all time favorite color!!!!!!
I'd seriously consider repainting my next one if it wasn't available.

LSB FTW

Good riddance. Too "ricerboy" color in my opinion. Colors like this belong on Honda Civic's and the like. BMW is classier than that.

That's a load of crap if I ever heard it. I guess classier cars should be black, white, silver, red......snoooooooooze.

You must be one of those guys who only wears black and blue and eats chocolate bars with a knife and fork.

I don't know if I've seen LSB before, but it reminds me a lot of Maldives Blue which is my absolute favourite colour. I don't know why they got rid of it. Montego blue just doesn't cut it for me.

Sorry! Nice color but not one of my alltime BMW favorites. I think you can order it as a custom color if you really want it!

BMW Individual options aren't available in the USA. Doesn't make any sense either...let's limit the options for people in the richest country in the world...

Well, that might a decent petition to start!

Not any, no. Many, just not any.

epbrown · 03-27-2008, 02:12 PM

Far more people will sign the petition than would ever buy a car that color, which is why it was dropped in the first place. Let it be.

ianbiz · 03-27-2008, 03:02 PM

Estroil > LSB

pmeloche · 03-27-2008, 06:47 PM

Sorry, I prefer Maldives Blue to LSB.

The head of production is almost certainly the wrong guy to petition.. you need to get to the marketing guys, product planners, or customer relations.

Yal · 03-27-2008, 10:42 PM

While I like the LSB, it's Maldives Blue FTW.
