looks cheesy IMO. shoulda left it how it was I hate when people say “There’s only ONE in so and so color”…There’s a reason, not because it’s rare, it’s because it looks…how do I say it…dumb. That LSB E39 you posted looks extra cheesy IMO. ---

That LSB E39 you posted looks extra cheesy IMO. Again, everyones entitled to there opinion, I happen to think it looks sick… And YES the paintjob IS rare, even on an m3 and not everyone has $3500 to just dump into a paintjob so im sorry but I think your wrong… Is imola red “dumb” is pheonix yellow “dumb” Those are just two colors off the top of my head that I can think of but there both rare colors and you dont see alot of them around…but I guess…it’s becuase there just “dumb colors”? ---

I dunno, I’m just not a fan of LSB. I almost bought an LSB E46 M3 last week, but the color just doesn’t do it for me. And Phoenix Yellow IS pretty dumb. It reminds me of urine from a dehydrated person. ---

You said you think the lsb would look ugly on an e39… You then again stated your dislike for lsb when you just said you didnt buy the e46 becuase of the color. I felt the need to express my dislike of Porsches as you did the color of my car… It all boils down to an individuals preference… “Not exactly”?.. You did buy the car at one point in time correct? This means that at one point in time you took a liking to the car, wheather the car still appeals to you is irrelevant. ---

This means that at one point in time you took a liking to the car, wheather the car still appeals to you is irrelevant. 1. The Porsche talk is off topic. I thought we were talking about LSB? 2. Whether or not the car still appeals to me is relevant because you said in your post “like” which is present-tense. “Liked” would be the proper word you were looking for if you meant past tense, which would imply I liked it at one point in time. ---
