I'd go with the blue one (I love lemans blue), but if you truly want the black one you should get it. It sucks to think man I shoulda got whatever later on. Either way both are nice.

Unless you are using the term straight pipes to refer to something else.
Oh no that's fine in California it's legal, if I end up getting the blue one I'd do the same thing to it.
Wait, are we talking about the same thing? I live in California and it's definitely NOT ok to drive without cats here. In fact CA has like the strictest emission laws in the states.

Always better to go with the known car that was not abused or modded than an unknown plus le mans blue is a rarer color than black.

I would go with a non-abused, non-modded, clean looking le-mans blue one. No questions asked.

Go for the lemans. Black is nice but such a hard color to keep clean. l know this because my old 135 was black.

I prefer JB, however, I'm not a fan fan of coral red interior. I don't like the all black look. For me it looks too ghetto. The lemans blue has less miles, wasn't abused, and looks much more classy, and sporty. I almost pulled the trigger on a 2011 335is cpo with 9,400 miles. What stopped me was I wasn't comfortable spending $44,000 on a 3 year old car, even though it was in mint condition. Good luck with your decision.

Go for the Lemans blue! the mods on the black car is small, and shouldn't cost much. Althought I like the color of JB, you know that the lemans was well taken care of.

I have jet black, the best looking color while detailed, the worst when its dirty

Catch 22.

Straight pipes setup = no cats.
No cats = fail smog in CA unless you put cats back on just for the inspection.
My vote is for the blue car since you have verified history of the car and know the previous owner.
