Frozen Gray GTS and Mexico Blue M3

Stopped by the dealer and saw these on the floor. Frozen Gray M4 GTS with the CF wheels and a Mexico Blue M3. That Mexico Blue color is really bright like a gumball.

Thanks for sharing! I love Mexico blue on Porsche's, but do you think it is worth the $5k instead of getting YMB? I would rather spend the money on a color that has no similar facsimile in the current palette.

Personally, I wouldn't pay $5k for any color. But I'm all for other people going full individual.

As far as Mexico Blue is concerned... no, it isn't worth it IMO. However, it is really different from Yas Marina Blue. Yas Marina is way more subtle when compared to Mexico Blue (I can't believe I'm saying Yas is subtle). And since Yas Marina is a metallic finish, the light hits it differently versus the Mexico Blue.

The Mexico blue w/ those flashy 666m wheels is just too sexy for words. Maybe it's cause I lived in the cloudy NW for so many years, but I have a huge aversion for grey colors. That GTS is not to my liking, esp the wheels.

I feel the same. The ///M3/4 has just gotten so darn expensive that adding an Individual color like Mexico Blue is gonna thrust the price into the $80K+ range w/ a few other routine options. That's too expensive for a car that's still in the 3-series line for me.

You should see the mark up price on the GTS.

They must be on crack! No one in their right mind would pay that much for an M4 GTS

That Mexico Blue M3 looks great! Too loud, for me, as a DD but it is quite beautiful.

I actually had to go back and reread the price tag because I didn't understand where the market adjustment came into effect.. then I saw the bottom of the sticker and the final price !

That is honestly the funniest window sticker I have ever seen. That shit should be framed.
