WOW.

I'm sorry. that does not sound "identical" to a 135i with MPE.

This sounds like an M2.

Great video here. Being in the midwest Laguna Seca is just too far for me to venture out to for a track day. Looks awesome though. I love the levitation changes in the corners. Reminds me of Road Atlanta.

Interesting to see all of the different lines that the different drivers take through the same corner.

Thanks for posting the videos. The cars look and sound great. They look pretty fast also. Looking forward to seeing what the press has to say about the handling etc but I am in regardless.

Great footage, sir! And thank you! LBB is the perfect color for Laguna Seca (just after LSB, of course).

I'm just glad none of them tried to copy Alex Zanardi's "The Pass."
He short-cutted the downhill after the Corkscrew by driving over the dirt.
Passed Bryan Herta to win the race in 1996, but that move is now illegal.

I enjoyed both colors alot.

I'm trying to find a good picture of BSM - but that color looked real sharp.

But yeah I'm much more happy that I have made a good choice on the color.

Let's try and clarify a couple of things on the color:
The color you see in the video I think is a touch saturated compared to real life but it is pretty close. I have some photos with my SONY A7 Mirrorless Full frame and the color accuracy was about right. I think where the color starts to differ is when you apply full brightness to it.

The color varies from Full on Blue to Turquose/Teal. The blend of Teal is only about 20% into the Blue. I noticed this when the M2 is passing me and reaching the top of the hill, with no overcast when the sun at HIGH NOON.

During the race, and it could because of Laguna Seca, shadow areas keep the color in check giving it a blue color about 90% of the time.

What is interesting is the because of the body bulges and how it is wide, you can clearly see the sculpted lines and i think that plays a major role in the color. With bulges, there are spaces in the car that create shadow divets, so even if you are hitting the car with sun, the teal is only affect the angle that is direct with the sun, the shadow divet areas, stay dark which keeps a darker blended profile. Obviously, the closer you are the more Teal you can somewhat see. At about 200 feet, it goes back to blue. and blend with dark elements.

This image is accurate:

Update - i think its more of a Light Cyan 80% + 20% Teal mixture and full sunlight.

nice work man! I'm surprised no one had given a meme with Leonardo dicaprio raising his glass to you. Thanks for sharing!

This color is complicated. What if someone gets in a slight fender bender. I doubt anyone can truly color match this color!

I don't get it. LBB looks very turquoise on the x6m I have seen. How can it not be turquoise on this car?
LBB does look good hear, but I feel as though I'm being tricked... Haha

yeah - its messing with me too. I kinda wish i had a chance to see longer but it definitely didn't look like the X6M color.

More Light Cyan. I think its more to do the surface, since the X6M has more flatter areas to create more surface area where you can see more green.
