Montego Blue in person...

bavarian19 · 07-17-2006, 06:59 PM

I was at the dealership today as I was getting a flat tire fixed, and They had a new Z4 in this beautiful blue color. I went over to check it out, and sure enough, it was a montego blue Z4. Sorry, no camera with me at the time...

I will say, this color looks VERY similar to the pictures of Le Mans Blue. A little darker, but I am a big fan of that color... If it was available on the E90, I would have gotten it in a heartbeat!!!

You should take a picture of it, then go to the Ferrari dealership and show them the picture, and ask if they could order a F430 in that color.

Funny you say that... I was there on Sunday while my E90 was getting towed to BMW of Sterling...

They have a BEAUTIFUL Blue Lambo Gallardo I would buy in a heartbeat...

Towed? Did I miss something?

As for the color, I think the Monaco Blue you have is the best blue on any car I've seen.

I came very close to ordering that color.

KL2DC · 07-17-2006, 08:42 PM

BK: AJ had a front tire failure...

Beautiful Gallardo, did i have the clear cover. My all-time fave exotic is still the Ferrari 355. The sound that car makes with the tubi exhaust is downright religion

BK... I almost bought a mystic blue E90, but didnt want to wait at that time, and I actually do like monaco blue as well...

I am just more impressed with montego after seeing it in person...

Yes... I got the car towed though roadside assistance...

long story short... Ive had problems with one RF tire (front right) on my 162's. It had a slow leak in it. I brought it to get patched, all of which did nothing. This past Saturday, the flat tire monitor came on, and it was flat... not low like previous experiences, but flat... While the sidewall supported me to get around, the biggest problem came when I went to fill it up with a little air... The tire literally popped out from behind the rim (not all of it though)... pushed it back in, but lost all faith in that tire being able to carry my car home, so I had it towed the next morning...

I was very surprised... the dealership did not have an F430 anywhere on the floor. I have seen a few driving around the area, but I think the F430 is one of the best looking ferrari's in a while... Im sure it would be OK to drive too...

bavarian19 · 07-19-2006, 03:04 PM

Im heading back in to my dealership tomorrow, so Ill snap a few pics...

bavarian19 · 07-19-2006, 03:05 PM

By the way shim... I saw the UGLIEST F430 today...

it was a NC blue exterior with matching 'gangsta' 20 in wheels (also painted NC blue with chrome lip) and a black/yellow interior...

Dont get me wrong... I love the F430... but this was just

It was... I parked 2 spots from him about 15 seconds after he did...

I looked at him and had the 'eeeek' look

But then again, it was an F430 spyder... so I took a look at the interior

(ignoring the exterior)

Not your traditional two tone... just black with yellow accents...

Ok... montego blue pictures:

The side shot is more accurate of a picture of the color... Sorry about the bad pics, but I felt reall awkward taking pictures of a car in the showroom, so just did it quickly...

bimmer4me · 07-20-2006, 07:33 AM

Wow! I didn't realize the Z4 got such good gas mileage.

thekewl1 · 07-20-2006, 01:07 PM

that's the first lambo i've seen in that color. SWEET! The Z4 looks awsome too.

Is that the same blue for the e92?

325Driver · 07-20-2006, 01:24 PM

The rims on the Z4 are nothing short of amazing!
