Can someone do a quick edit with a z4 roadster in the Yas Marina Blue of the new M4 with black wheels?

Really love it on the M4 but wanna see it on the Z. Thanks guys!
 
Think its a disgusting colour. The M3 and M4 colours are really poor IMO, should have had the standard BMW M colours and a couple of specials. The Sakhir orange, Azurite Black and tanzinite blue look nice but the rest are a bit boring and crap choices for an M car.

Mineral grey and moonstone look dire, what the hell they were thinking with yellow austin, Yas marina and Pyrite brown!!!! WTF!!! bloody awful. The rest are standard colours.

Apart from the sound of the motor the biggest criticism has been the colour choices.

What happened to Estoril, Imola, Interlargos, silver grey all the classic M colours!

It's called moving with the times Tom. I like the new colours especially the Yas Marina and Mineral Grey.
These 'old' colours have been done and had their day, move onto pastures new!
The Estoril is becoming as common as white now, I used to like it but gone off it now.
 
Its quite similar to Laguna Seca (from the pictures).

There is a coupe in this thread.

Yas Marina Blue...

I was always told that if I can't say anything nice then I shouldn't say anything at all... :shutup:
 
I saw the Yas marina blue at silverstone on an M3 and it just doesn't look right, the way it catches the light, almost looks white on the highlights, very flat colour. The piston heads car was also there in Azurite Black and that looks great but not special. The reason I think it looks cool is because of all the carbon fibre it has on it but low and behold you can't buy the carbon bits from BMW. My local dealer had Sakhir orange and yellow austin M3/4 launch cars the Sakhir is probably the most stand out colour and Yellow Austin is like a more saturated Pheonix yellow which is awful IMO.

The thing is yes they must move on but there was only one or two questionable colours in the pallet whereas now the range is filled with bland standard colours and a couple of ridiculous bright colours that are completely marmite. No middle of the range colours if you want anything with any stand out quality its flat baby blue, baby sick yellow or burnt orange… all the rest are very sedate. 4 off white/grey colours, two blacks, 3 blue, one hideous brown even worse than sepang because it does look like poo.

They have made all the better colours you had to pay for as individual colours like Estoril blue standard colours now. So the non M versions have a better colour palette IMO.

Silverstone used to be one of my fav colour but the Silverstone II looks like its lost its sparkle too.

Since when could you not buy a red sports car for example. They haven't done well on the colour front at all, have a search on the web not very many happy people. Just not very M car like.

I post this on another forum, but since i found the same topic here also, i'm posting my question here as well.

I'm doing a repaint on my black Z4 E85 and i'm thinking of painting it to Yas Marina Blue. Has anybody done it in all this time from creation of this thread? I would like to see some actual pictures. I love the color on the M4 but i'm not to sure how it would look on a Z4. I took mister_rogers photo (i hope he doesn't mind) and photoshoped it to match the color.

It looks good on the picture, but maybe a little bit too girly? Or more like a toy.. :D But I know pictures are one thing and reality is another. So what do you guys think. Should I do it or not? :-?
 
Are you thinking paint or wrap. You can always take a wrap off if it doesn't work.

I think that looks great. :thumbsup:
 
I'm doing a repaint because of the new front and rear bumper (FL conversion) and there are some scratches and dents on the sides so I'll just do a repaint of the whole car. I also never been a fan of black color on the E85 so now it's a perfect chance to choose a new one. Yas Marina Blue is gorgeous in the flesh, pictures can't really capture it truly. I was thinking of Alpine White at first but now I have second thoughts... :) M4 has more aggressive lines than E85, that's why i have doubts.. :)
