Some Misano Blue Love

MinionM3 · 01-13-2021, 08:48 PM

Cant get over my love for this car so I thought I'd share some of my love!

AxM2CS · 01-13-2021, 08:59 PM

With you brother, all the way. Standing outside in the dark, streetlight, admiring how deep the blue is at night and how it sets off the gold.

My wife teases me - I walk over to the garage and will open the door into it to stare at her, or I'll just go sit out there enjoying a nice whiskey and take the car in. Cannot find an angle that I don't absolutely love this car and how the color shifts in different light!

Couldn't agree more! Photos done do this car justice.... fell in love with it the moment I walked into the dealer.

Reminds me a bit of Nogaro blue on Audis but it's hands down the best color for the m2 cs IMO.

I like that relation to Nogaro Blue - there were a few of those at this meet / very similar but Misano has a lot more metallic, not sure Nogaro has any metallic.

I thought I was the only one that did that.

I was blown away when I saw the CS for the first time in real life. It has even more presence than it does in the pictures.

You've got my favorite color combo too!

We probably have one of the only SBM and MB hybrids, let me explain

We had a 7 hour drive home in the pouring rain. This MISANO BLUE tape did it's job. Not one scratch. Sadly we removed the tape and a few days later....2 rock chips

Should have used tracwrap. But even then, who knows!

Mike - just curious, where were the rock chips?

We were actually going to cancel the order for the car.... then the salesman texted me a pic dec 23rd at 4 pm. We left at 7 am the next
Day to pickup. Didn’t have time to plan much of anything. Amazing how effective painters tape is in driving rain for 7 hours.

Does that make it Misano Black?

AxM2CS · 01-14-2021, 10:24 AM

Almost MB

DanG · 01-14-2021, 11:37 AM

Saw a Misano Blue M2CS at the dealer yesterday. It looked fantastic. The dealer manager had already bought it.

I would have been really tempted if it had been available.

It will be a cheap in your XPEL or Suntek also if you have that done, if its a big enough rock, it won't self heal. Such is the situation with Black, seems unavoidable. The chip is still there in white and MB, just less noticeable.

gemini.m3 · 01-14-2021, 06:20 PM

I almost backed out of the whole thing when I saw misano blue on an x2. Let me tell you I’m glad I stuck to my gut and kept the deposit down and am eagerly awaiting the car in what looks like another week or 2 max. I saw a misano blue m2 2 weeks ago and my anticipation went up x10. The blue is amazing and coming from yas marina which I thought was cool but sometimes too pastel for my taste I really appreciate the depth of this color.

The m2 cs in this color has presence for days no other bmw I’ve seen or owned could match. I love my m3 comp but that walk back to my car after taking in all the cs and my future car had to offer was slightly depressing lol. I never thought I could feel that way about my m3

This is a forever car because of all that and the fact it represents something you can’t find in cars anymore and I can totally see myself owning this car still ten or 15 years down the line

AxM2CS · 01-14-2021, 06:33 PM

Similar reaction to the X2 lol. When we went in to put in the build Order in September my wife was giving me "that look" (like, are you serious?) as we checked out an MB X2 in the showroom. I had some confidence it was going to look way better on the M2CS, and wanted to trust BMW on this one. Really almost jumped to HS (which I have no doubt I would be thrilled with), but so glad I hung in there with the MB.

CarJunkie · 01-14-2021, 06:52 PM

I believe the 1M was the first to have Valencia Orange, but they eventually put it on some SUV's...X1 and possibly X3.

The Nogaro Blue on the S4 looks like it is just barely darker than the Misano Blue.

Nice photos from the OP!
