I actually went downstairs to the colour sample panels and lifted the LBB colour sample and offered it up next to the car, the colour was the same.

I took photos of the LBB car and strangely they come out as a darker blue not the teal blue it is in real life.

I have no ulterior motive here as I have just ordered a BMW M2 in LBB and now having seen the colour in real life I have changed my mind.

I implore all of you who have ordered LBB to find a dealer that has one in stock and take a look for yourself. The press photos are not a true reflection of the colour.

I was talking about the X3 in your picture...

I thought that the M2 would look good in LBB,after seeing an X5M in LBB, but after seeing the color again today,i have realized that I just wouldn't be happy with the color.The color really does completey change from an Estoril Blue shade inside,to turquoise out in the sun.I don't like the turquoise color in the sun.

Thankfully Alpine White is available on the M2 because it really looks fantastic.The color looks good in pics but looks even better in person.I will definitely be calling my SA tomorrow to change my order to Alpine White.

Here are some pics of both colors.The pictures make LBB look like Estoril Blue but it is really a turquoise blue outside in the sun.

Really helpful thanks! I ordered a AW, I currently live in a small town and don't think I'll have access to a LBB in person. I love blue but hate green (even though they are cousins!) saw a white m2 at the local dealer...man...beautiful!

Finally, a pic that shows the flares on AW! You can see them in person but it is hard to get them to show up in pics. Just need the right lighting.

That first pic looks stretched to me. The mirrors arent that long but maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Yeah, it does look stretched. I resized/cropped the pic on my phone and probably didn't do it equally. I noticed it today when I was looking at te pics on my phone. Still like it though. LOL!
