First San Marino Blue M6 Coupe Spotted

ddk632 · 07-17-2012, 07:02 PM

I have to say, although I am likely in the minority considering most of the posts so far, save a few, that I did not like the San Marino Blue on an M6 vert at my local dealer. It looked too close to purple for my liking. I can't wait to see the Sakhir Orange M6 Coupe when they start making their way to local showrooms.

I would love to see a Tanznite Blue in person though, as it looks great on the configurator. Seeing it in person is the only true way to make an honest judgement. I have seen a Ruby Black 650i coupe in person and it looked amazing, in ways that the BYO site just doesn't convey. ( Although I don't believe Ruby Black suits the M6 )

Production coupes are due to be delivered to dealers by late August / early September. They just started production this month.

Doesn't mean there aren't pre-production M6 coupe prototypes in the country because there are, but they're likely in the Sakhir Orange color.

The colors are very close. As many have stated the San Marino Blue is brighter
