$5,200 M4 Atlantic Blue paint VS M2 Long Beach Blue $700

I took my '17 LBB into the dealer today for the 1200 mile break in service and noticed an M4 with what looked like an LBB paint job. Upon closer inspection it looked very similar but just a hint darker. I saw the window sticker for this "special paint", a $5,200 option. WTF ? I laughed and said, my M2 just went up in value!

I haven't seen Atlantic Blue in person but from some photos it appears to be quite similar to LBB. Unfortunately if you don't want Yaz and are into blues you don't have many choices other than to go with an individual custom color. I'll be doing LSB if I ever upgrade to an M3, worth every penny of the $5k over Yaz.

It's the looking different that makes a paint more beautiful and appealing. Paint material cost is about the same.

AB from M3/4 looked stunning on its debut of 2014, but over time it has been just indifferent and lost its charm.
