Some people just don't like LBB and they resort to exaggerating the aspects of it they don't like... I agree the photos in that thread are WAY too green and the X6M that I saw in real life, in the shade and once in the direct sun, was NOT that color. Period. It was a light, metallic blue that I would suggest was on the green (and not purple) side of the blue spectrum.

Sure, LBB is on the greener side of the blue spectrum but there is no way anyone describes the car as green in any way. It is blue. Period. Do we really need to have this debate... again?
ok, we agree to disagree

Is it just me but I like the greenish in the LBB. It makes the car more "summer"!

I would also describe the color as being a light metallic blue but it is definitely a turquoise blue that doesn't look anything like Estoril Blue.Most pictures make the color look like EB and people that haven't seen the color need to realize that the color isn't going to look like that.I still think that this pic from BMWNA is pretty close to what the color really looks like.

Your right! Its more on the green side of the spectrum, but still unmistakably blue in every lighting condition. I sure hope people are not deciding on colors just by pictures. But then again the less LBB on the road the better it is for those of us that pick that color

Yes, when it is outside on a sunny day it is definitely going to pop!

I took that picture, and I can confirm, that's exactly how it looked in person. It was turquoise.
