2) San Marino
3) Laguna Seca
4) Avus
5) Tie: Estoril / Misano

Worst BMW blue of all time:
1) Yas Marina blue (aka smurf blue)

Hmm... I'd have to knock Interlagos down a few. It's nice, but a bit dull in the shade. I like Estoril more than Misano, probably. Don't know if I would call YMB the worst, though. It's certainly polarizing but I think it looks good in some conditions. I really like Marina Bay and Portimao, actually. I think the newer metallic paints generally just have more depth and effect. San Marino is a good example.

Hmmm, I would have to say -
1) San Marino
2) Marina Bay
3) Laguna Seca
4) Interlagos
5) Misano / Tanzanite Blue II (tie)

Never liked Estoril or Avus Blue much

Now that I have the MB I have to say Estoril I see on the 240's just doesn't look as special as I used to consider it. Missing the punch, depth and contrast along the lines, and variation in lighting that the MB offers.

Upfront confession, I'm biased.

But I do love the way HS contrasts the dark carbon highlights of the car and reflects the aggressive contours of the car.

SBM gets my vote but then again I'm biased

Blue colors from BMW are some of the very best in the business IMO, but personally, nothing will ever beat Estoril Blue (although I'm a huge fan of LSB):

We are splitting hairs here but imo Estoril blue only looks great on E36. Not so much on E46. The deeper Interlagos blue does it for me.

If you want to get technical. A BSM technically won Evo Magazine Car Of The Year. That should answer your question which color is the best

Carbon black would be my pick ptgltw ;-)

I love carbon black. Our other BMW is CB and its deep blue metallic is striking in bright light and stealth black at night.

Which is the core ingredient of making it fun, and informative at the same time lol

Looking at all the options. Seems some are more common than others.

There is a good thread that a member graciously put together showing how many in color x with trans x etc... Basically from most sold to least sold are MB,HS,BSM and AW. Who would have thought AW would be the rarest color M2CS. Those are going to be worth more money down the road (20 years) for sure.
