Believe me when I say I like women. But the car is shaping up to be visually aggressive and LBB, as the of flagship color, does not, IMO, carry that message well enough.
I reserve the right to change my mind and recant all I've said when I see it fully decked out in LBB!
I witnessed LBB on the X6M on an overcast day and it appeared teal in hue, as others have mentioned. Admittedly, I liked it, but I can understand why it would not appeal to the masses.
Agreed. I saw this color on a fleet x6m at Watkins Glen Sunday. It is a nice color but didn't seem to fit the iconic image of bmw. Reminded me of a 90s Saturn color.
