Why does it really matter which blue is the best looking blue?

IMHO, I wish I could one BMW in every shade of blue, from Yas Marina blue to Azurite Black !!!

I've come to the conclusion that I don't like any type of blue on any car.The more I look at blue in general the more I dislike it.

I can only hope they offer LBB on the M3/4 next year when the M4 gets LCI.

I'd gladly order LBB along with Golden Brown leather. That would look fantastic.

While BMW's are very well known for their beautiful shades of blue, I much prefer their unusual ones like Atlantis, Laguna Seca, Estoril..... vs say Lemans and Deep Sea Blue.

2022 BMW i4 m50  [10.00]
Estroil Blue any day of the week if i were to chose a blue, I am having such a hard time with the LBB we have a X6M at my dealership with LBB and it got so many personalities that it gets freaky no matter what angle i look at the LBB it shifts to another form of blue its so annoying, I know the car will stand out more with the LBB but i can't deal with a car that shifts between 50 shades of blue between this red light and the next, Even though it looks probably great in other peoples eyes but i am having a real hard time with it.

So when i order my M2 it will be AW with M-Performance Spoiler, Exhaust, Kidneys & Carbon fiber mirror caps.

What you are describing to me is the best part about LBB for me. I love colors that have different shades. You're getting Estoril, Laguna Seca, Atlantis Blue all in one for the price of $550. Win!

That's why it made 0 sense to me when threads about whether the M2 should be offered in a vivid color or not started popping up. LBB is easily as vivid as Valencia Orange.

Better order your car soon, since BMW is producing this non-limited car at a limited pace...

No thanks for me. BMWs and The Little Mermaid shouldn't cross over. Look, it's the same colour!!!

Haha yeah i know some people love that LBB thing for switching to so many shades for me its like the car has a personality crisis in some form But in some lights the LBB is so awesome then in other it just falls short xD

Well i am in no rush tbh :-) I have learned to never buy a factory car brand new in a rush you will be paying a hefty price for getting it first

I love the M2 and all but got darn it this will be my 3rd coupé and i am getting tired of having 2 doors only I want 4 doors but for my taste that would be the M3 and the M3 is still very expensive... So its a bit of a dilemma
