Snapper Rocks Blue

Evo released some 4 series LCI pics today and they showed a new color called Snapper Rocks Blue.It looks quite similar to LBB but appears to be a little bit lighter in this pic.

It all depends on the lighting.It looks quite similar to this LBB M2 but I agree,just like Atlantis,it is a lighter blue than LBB.

They announced two new colors close to exclusive M ones.

Snapper Rocks Blue is LBB for non-M cars.

Sunset Orange is SO for non-M cars.

Kind of sucks BMW is doing this with colors so similar to each other, as it takes away from their 'M-exclusive color' thing.

Figured this would happen, doesn't surprise me. But have to see snapper rock in person to see the difference, pics can't really catch the true color.

They should have called LBB snapper rocks on the M2 cause of sound of rocks scraping on the brakes due to the heat shield some people are reporting

Did you photoshop the picture because you posted the pic in the official LBB photo thread.

And just when you thought that SRB is the result of a kick in the nads: that place does exist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapper_Rocks) !

IMO, that color doesn't look very good on the 4-series.

I've seen the paint sample of this color, and compared to LBB it's more green.

There is always a chance we will see another color offered on the M2 LCI

I'd like to see another color entirely
