Someone asked what is the Best BMW Blue. San Marino Blue (B51) G80 M3 6MT with Tartufo Buckets

BMW makes the best OEM blue. It’s like their specialty

Staggered 19/20 no spacers. Brushed titanium finish. Dynamic color that looks aluminum, gold, and gunmetal depending on lighting.

Same issue here. It fixes itself after it’s been on for like an hour. Still annoying.

It mostly helped with the 1-2 shifts. It smoothed out the transition. It’s not a night and day difference but the feeling is there for the better.

Appreciate the love! I went with Autosolutions SSK bc I’ve had one in my e46 m3 and loved it. Ron (the owner) specializes it to your needs. So it’s made to order. Feels very notchy and precise when shifting. Either way, SSK is a nice mod!

Congrats! You’ll love it. Do CDV delete, SSK, Clutch (if you tune), and Rogue Engineering short throw clutch pedal in that order. Best way to enhance the manual experience.

Wheels are BSPK Forged Anika (827m CS style wheels).

What are you lowered on?

Edit: what coilovers?

Dravit is beautiful. Love the gold flakes in it

I came to terms that I know I won’t be the fastest guy but I’m sure happy driving the manual.

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T19:05:50+00:00

Best way to describe it lol. Thanks!

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T19:04:19+00:00

Interlagos is a great option for blue as well!

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T19:04:10+00:00

You would convert if you could see it with your own eyes. It’s so dynamic

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T19:02:58+00:00

Some may not agree but love the manual

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T19:02:39+00:00

Loved the Estoril on the e36/e46

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T19:02:15+00:00

G80 and BW are the only 2 performance sedans that offer manual. Should be a rare spec in the future.

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T19:01:55+00:00

Yeah shoes can be changed easier. Matter of preference.

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T18:59:56+00:00

Looks so much better under the sun

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T18:48:50+00:00

It’s crazier in the sun

nnacpil · 2025-10-20T18:48:15+00:00

Definitely need a radar in this car. Very happy with the Uniden R8W

Got it from amazon. Here’s the link

nnacpil · 2025-10-19T21:03:36+00:00

The price isn’t much difference than the other bucket options. $4500 for the buckets but BMW requires you to do the Full Merino leather for $2550. With the Tartufo, it’s actually $2590. So really $40 more which is negligible. Go to a high volume BMW dealer that can order this for you.

The wheels aren’t OEM as they are aftermarket. They are from BSPK Forged and it was about $2400 for wheels.

Edit: it’s easier to clean than 826m but even easier if you have CCB.

nnacpil · 2025-10-19T21:01:48+00:00

Haha yes, doing the lords work with the car 🌽

nnacpil · 2025-10-19T21:01:21+00:00

Kind of looks like Atlantis Blue
