My Topaz Blue Met. ///M3 - United Bimmer Community

Here she is. The photos are OK. They were taken with partial overcast. This color blue changes so much depending on the lighting situation. I hope you people like it, because I sure do.

Thanks for taking a look and be sure to rate it....

BTW, how many photos can you submit for the rating system? I can't decide which one to submit if it is only one....

Thanks for looking and happy BMW motoring...

nice ride.. get it tinted

And lose the yellow reflectors get match paint reflectors from bavauto

**komodo** · 06-06-2005, 04:38 PM

Very nice car. I agree though, tint is a must.

Great choice on color too.

You can only submit one picture to Rate My Car, but for yours I'd suggested the 2nd one there.

BTW, your going on the Levinworth drive, no questions asked, ya hear? jk, you have a choice, but we would really like to see you go. Go to the Northwest Forum for all info. Gonna be sweet!

Will do as soon as we get some sunshine and I get time to take some when she is clean. Seems the 3 things never happen together. Thanks for the nice comments.

I want to tint it however, I am only going to use the Huber Optic and those places are hard to come by. I have a buddy that did his M Roadster and I will the info from him and get it tented sometime in the future. I was thinking about the color matching reflectors, but never looked into it or made it a priority. I have had this car for some time and she is all stock for now. I want to do a suspension upgrade in the future. Time will tell….

BTW, thanks….

Nice car!

Thanks dude! Nope it is an SMG and I love it. All my other cars have been a 3-pedal manual, but this is the first non-3-pedal car I have owned (still a true manual). I had reservation when I bought it thinking I wouldn’t like it and why did I do it (an expensive option), but if I had to do it again I would choose it with the same options.

P.S. I am thinking about going on the Leavenworth drive, but it depends on time and family. It would be a killer drive though.

I did the North Cascade run last month and I was even behind 95bmwpower for a while (not sure if he knows) and it was fun as hell. I had over an inch of break dust built up on my rims after. Looked like black sand.

Thanks for all I haven’t mention in this post for the kind words and the love of BMW’s. I have owned many and I am sure this will not be the last. I do intend on keeping this one for many years though.

I am a Moderator at a different board BMWBoard where they have a lot of good technical advise (not trying to steal thunder here), but this site is coming along nicely. komodo, kudos’ to you the site is looking great. I know how hard it is to get a new forum especially a car forum up and running, getting good paid vendors, and a great client base. You’ve done a great job and should pat yourself on the back. Here’s to you and UnitedBimmer…

witeshark · 06-07-2005, 05:24 PM

That's simply a stunning car! I'd call it prize winner!

**devinwwu** · 06-07-2005, 07:33 PM

hmmm must have missed you on the drive... you should definitely come on out on the leavenworth one. btw that looks like Mercer Island in the pics, am i right or is it elsewhere??
only reason why i ask is cause i used to live there

**///M Speed** · 06-07-2005, 11:42 PM

Nope, it's not on Mercer Island.

I setup the rate my car profile but it doesn't update. It is saved and all and the photo is chosen, but it keeps saying my account is not setup. Not sure what is going on. I know I set all the parameters up correctly....

Thanks, but that is not the picture I chose. It was the M3_26 photo.

Ooops, my bad I see what happened...I will change it....
