Nope, doesn't do it for me. As I said earlier too much a Jekyll and Hyde colour like Valencia Orange.
Nice here in the first side shot where its a darker blue and terrible here in the 2nd and 3rd pics where it looks aquamarine. You can see the nice blue brake calliper in the background as a comparison. |

Telling you guys right now, as someone that has seen the color in person.... LBB is darker than that and has more turquoise in most situations.
Either way, I think it's going to look so amazing on an M2

It's not going to happen, but I wish BMW would release a "liquid metal" gray, something that's not as dark but looks very silky. Kind of like the gray color of the gray M2 render. |

Thanks.
There is also video of LBB in this thread, albeit under studio lighting: http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1052684 |

That is true. However that gray is very light in those pictures, more like a silver. But if you're saying LBB is darker in person than in the photos, perhaps the same is true for DG.

I've also seen DG around here. It's light, kinda of like a Space Grey. So yea, those pics are kind of all over the place haha

DG looked perfect when I saw it on the new X5 pics the other day. LBB was iffy until I saw the X6M video a few minutes ago. Love both colours now but like most have said, I'll have to see them in person. But hey...if you can't have Individual, these two colours add a nice couple of extra choices for the M2. Just my opinion but I'm thinking that BMW might spice up the M2 launch with a couple of Frozen colours (no lectures about what Leipzig can and cannot do, the plant has painted a few "one offs" so it can do a whole run of an intro car if it wants) so here's to hoping!

I'm hoping LBB is a dark Estoril! This would be my first color choice.

To me, it more or less is. With a strong hint of Atlantis. If you mixed both colors, that's more or less what you get. Really metallic with lots of flakes too.

If Long Beach Blue looks anything like this, this is my choice.

So are your saying if you mixed Estoril with Atlantis you would get a darker version of Estoril?I would have assumed it to look the opposite of that and the mixture of the two colors would be a color that is a lighter version of Estoril Blue,because Atlantis Blue is lighter than Estoril Blue. |

In lower light situation, it's more like Atlantis. That's literally the first color I thought of when I saw it for the first time.

Donington grey looks great in the pics IMO, compared to Mineral Grey which is far too dark. Donnington is more of a dark silver and will look very cool.

Big fan of Donington grey. Would really like to see it on the F8x chassis.
LBB looks great, too, but I've never been a huge fan of blue.
