I was hoping it would look like Atlantis Blue but it seemed much more green to start. I have only seen Atlantis Blue once so I could be wrong but I was not too impressed with LBB in person.

Haha, so already 3 or 4 of you drove to BMW HQ parking to spot/stalk the M2 ?
Next time SCOTT26 may as well be the parking warden charging an entrance fee for further M2 pilgrimages.

Saw LBB in person today and it is, in fact, teal like the first picture. However, it has way more color and depth than the photos in the first post. I actually liked it a lot.

HAHHAH Im sorry to laugh but that M2 must feel so violated by now Everyone is visiting it like an family member at the hospital. But on topic the EBII should so be offered on the M2 i don't see why not cause the 2er is made in the same plant so it should be possible.

I think AY would be great on the M2... I also REALLY wish they offered Sakhir Orange. Every M4 I have seen with Sakhir Orange was gorgeous and I think it would suit the M2 very well.

The camera is off. I saw it and took pictures of the same car. It looks too light compared to what it is. Check all other photos from people who went to the BMW NA, this one has the color really off in my eye. |

The video that Adem1534 posted in his thread also shows the lighter turquoise color,which is what LBB looks like IMO. Most cameras also make the color look darker than it actually is. |

I saw a F80 M3 in AY yesterday up close and pictures do not do that color justice either! It really looks quite nice in person.

I will post more of the pictures I took tonight, because I feel they give a better representation of the color than other pictures on the board.

OK... not to dwell on the LBB color but I went back to the dealer today and took the paint sample outside in the bright sun. It is teal but it is definitely a deeper blue than the photo in the original post. Maybe on a completely dull, dreary, overcast day it might look more like the photo in the original post.
Below are untouched photos and they may be "slightly" more blue and darker than what I was looking at but only slightly. It's a teal blue but DEFINITELY blue and I am almost sure I like it enough to pick it It also has a TON of metallic flake. This one is in direct sun... This one is in the shade...

This is the closest picture I have seen that most accurately reflects the actual paint sample I held in my hand... I would buy this color...

This is a light blue color. Look at the blue calipers which are a darker blue. Yes, this is a different hue than the turquoise it turns into in the light, but it is not dark at all, just a different hue. Both the blue and the turquoise blue it turns into are light colors. The above is LBB but the outdoor pics are also LBB. It isn't a single hue, it is metallic and changes hues. Let's stop trying to pick the best representation for a color that is mutable.
