I think I just had a minor stroke. How in the world did you get a San Marino blue?
This was the color I wanted, but only M6 was available with that color.

I seriously want to return my car and it's not even out of customs yet.

I asked nicely, and put down a 5,000 dollar deposit. Honestly, that was a lot of money for me to consider for paint, but it's a car I plan on keeping for a long time, and so I made it mine. Another 5,000 will get you stitching in the colour you want. I didn't. I did pay for the piano black interior though. It's very grown up compared to the cars I've had before.

Absolutely stunning. This would have been my #1 choice had I not intended to use it for business purposes - i.e. too flashy for business IMO. Other than that, it's such a gorgeous color. Enjoy!

I am having a huge buyer's remorse now. I want San Marino blue!!!! This is the closest color to the last 3 cars in Le Mans blue.

Bellevue's the closest of the three. I'm hoping not to be at Sea-Tac too much now that I've moved here. I'm not even flying to Vegas this summer for my usual week of fun - I'm driving!

Personally, Azurite is my favorite of all of these blues. Subtle and amazing in sunlight. You'll love it

While I may be a genius, a great photographer, and a really good guy all around (and modest, too), tonight, I screwed up. I had my door handles from IND and an hour to kill before dinner with friends. I went to fit then and realized my little screwdriver wasn't long enough, so I put an extension on, carefully unscrewed the t15, pulled out gently, and clunk. The extension and bit drop into the hole the screwdriver went in through. After much panicking a friend with a fiber optic camera takes a look. He sees the captive screw. Yep. Captive. Not going anywhere. I put on the IND handles with my friend's solid t15 and will have to have BMW pull my door cards off to get my bit and extension. Aside from that, the handle change is really easy.

Looks real good, hope it's all you dreamed of.
Mine coming September and it will be a keeper for 2 years anyway.

Hi - great to have met you! I'd love a copy of the hi-res photos. I don't seem to be able to send you a pm at the moment, though.

There are a couple more san marino blue M5's out there, but that doesn't make yours any less stunning!
I think BMW should've switched the blue colors on the M5 and M6 as I think the SMB suits the M5 more and MCB would look better on the M6. |

The town of Concrete in Washington was formed when the town of Baker, on the Baker River and the settlement across the river unofficially named Cement City were merged. Cement City was the settlement where the Washington Portland Cement Company had their silos, as a staging post for bringing materials to other places.
During Orson Welles' broadcast of The War of the Worlds, at the point where the Martian invaders were invading, a power failure blanketed the town in darkness and killed the phone lines, prompting many of the townspeople to run for the hills. Concrete was also the the home of author Tobias Wolff, for some time. He was born in Alamaba. He attended high school in Concrete. He's best known for his short stories, and his memoirs "This Boy's Life", later made into a movie which starred Leonardo DiCaprio. The portion of the film representing Concrete was actually filmed in Concrete. Movies being movies, they had to make sure you knew which town it was supposed to represent, and so one of the landmarks of the town was painted up: At this point, you'll notice the IND door handles and the front reflectors that have been added since my first photos. Rear reflectors are on their way. In order to get to Concrete, you can go up I-5 and hang a right. Or, you can get on 530 at the bottom of the Mountain Loop Highway at Arlington, WA, and go past Whitehorse Mountain ... ... through the town of Darrington, up to Rockport, turn left and head along 20 to Concrete. It's a nice drive, with nice roads, and just when you think you're done with nice little towns, you find the Birdsview Brewing Company. The food didn't look awesome, but their beers are excellent. My passenger and I got the sampler of all 8 on tap, and I had a sip of each. Next time, I'm going back with a couple of growlers, and then spending time narrowing down which ones I want to take back with me. I'll apologize to the owners of this winery for not getting their winery's name, but they had a quiet road and I wanted this photo: They were along SR 20, before Sedro-Woolley. I've now broken 1,000 miles. I've so far used Interstates while commuting - 1.2 miles in the morning, and 1.6 in the afternoon. I've commuted in the car only a half-dozen times. All the rest have been fun miles. |

This color looks so good on the car that it even replaced my Salma Hayek wall paper on the screen.
