Mauritus Blue M3?

I have a 93 Mauritus Blue 325is and I was wondering if the M3 ever came in this color. My guess is no but does anyone know for sure?

You're a lucky man. That is the most incredible (and very rare)blue of all time. My old '93 325i was mauritius. I think I've seen maybe 3 others that color.

The M3 was never offered in mauritius, but BMW Individual made up a few in that color. I've seen one or two FS in euro BMW mags. Avis and Estoril were the e36 M3 blues, and very nice also. But Mauritius is better, it just glows . . .

Thanks

. I like the color alot and it is quite rare. I like all of the blue e36 colors, especially mauritus, and am glad I found mine. Thats what I thought about the M3. Thanks for the info.

I am trying to get pictures of my car -computers can be complicated

my montreal blue 95 325is looks like that color. very very rich and deep dark blue without being a navy though. anyways, that m3 had the cloth vaders which i would love to have.

I have seen a few shades of blue on e36 that look similar to mauritus. I wouldnt mind cloth vaders, Leather is overrated in America, it is nice though

maybe a german fell into the mauritius blue pot in 1995 and they just had to call it montreal blue, and just kept mixing in the human pieces......

Me Too! Ive heard that they only made about 187 in 1993 and 1994. Very rare indeed. I was down at the dealership today to get some touch-up paint and the guy had never even heard of that color. I felt so special. Mauritius is the best blue ever!
