BMW does blues well. I really like Yas Marina Blue on the new M3/M4 and Long Beach Blue on the M2 and X*M models.

Best colour for the best M5 iteration.  :thumbup: (It's LeMans blau by thet way; Estroil is the lighter blue that is still available today on the F30 3er- reminiscent of the Legunaseca blau)

Yep, 100% agree.  If I ever owned a bimmer, it would be this colour.....no question about it.  Aqua, your car is damn sweet man!

Speaking of Estoril, I'll be there next month!   :)

Love BMW blue, it was this colour that swayed me to the car. Yas Marina is sweet too on the M cars.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Grey white black silver. Boring!

I like Deep Sea Blue or Monaco Blue on Beige or brown leather.

I used to park next to the CEO and one of the VP's at my old place, 535i, 335i, and Z4.  All dark metallic blue with beige leather interiors.  Those cars did look wonderful.

Had the new summer tires mounted and put them back on the 3er. A noticeable chunk more heft back in the steering...... :)
Also nice to have the rear end look normal now; without the staggered setup, the gap looks funny on the rear axle.

I drove the Mazda to Estevan, SK and back, nearly 1,000 km.  No snow in southeast SK and the temp was 17C!
