I mean, I love it. I have always kind of disliked blue cars, but this color has totally converted me. With a high quality black roof, the M Performance Grill and the CF trunk spoiler... ooo this thing is going to look mean!!!

If the color is more representative in the video then I'm not sure...I really love some of BMW's blues, I've had Estoril Blue on an e36 M3, Laguna Seca Blue on an e46 M3, and also had Montego Blue on a 335i. Adem1534 would you say the color is a mix between Estoril and Laguna Seca with the metallic properties of Estoril and more of the "green" from LSB? I think in person, I would really like this, and I don't like the "Duller" alternatives (Grey, White, Black). Decisions, decisions....

thanks for all your effort
LBB looks like the camera phone pics and NOT Nikon pics IMO. i've seen iND's X5M in LBB and it definitely has a greenish-blue hue to it. only benefit i see of the "stock" mirrors are they definitely fold in more than my M3 mirros.

Great color! Can't way to see the car and LBB in person. Great angles with the photos. Thanks for sitting in traffic and capturing these. I tried to find the one supposedly in GA. No dice.

Thanks for the effort with this. Nice work. I much prefer the Nikon colour than the phone pics. Hmm
Can you provide the link of the vid as I want to watch in HD directly in YouTube. When I copy and paste the link from the share button it can't find it. Plays low quality on bimmerpost app. Thanks EDIT:No worries I got it |

The answer is that it is a varying shade of blue green that changes based on the lighting and environment. Chameleon blue would have been a perfect name

The green at this point is, however, not overpowering. You don't look at the car and think 'that's a green car'. A vast majority of people will look at it and call it 'blue'. There is always a shade of blue at all times. It just varies in intensity. When the green is being brought out, it is more greenish than Laguna Seca Blue. The dynamic properties of the color mix well with the car. The color is superb at accentuating the car's lines because of the way it shows bends. Like I said in the original post, the color is unlike any other color I've seen before. Maybe just for that reason, you'll love it. It's a very unique color. I personally would not be afraid of it being too green. The green doesn't always show itself, and even when it does, I'd still say it's a blue car.

Yeah, the Nikon pics didn't pic up the green. Very weird. The cell got it spot on. Yeah the M3 mirrors are sick. With it had them. Just not upset about it. My buddy has an M3 and I'm already dying to do an M2/3 shoot!

Nice Job!
A few things I noticed. 1) The hips/arches/haunches - yeah they look really good! But I think a lot of people overlook the front and stare at the rear wheel hips. But, the fronts are quite pronounced as well. What did you think of these? From the photos it looks quite obvious attention getters... The car kind of reminds me of the 911 hourglass. 2) As the for the colour, would you say that the brighter the reflection the greener the colour / the darker the section the bluer the colour? For example, the M2 and all modern BMW's have some nice creases on the surfaces. At certain angles, the creases are the brightest. Areas closer to these creases are not only lighter and more reflective, but they are more green tinged. Whereas portions which are flatter and perhaps don't catch the sun as much are less green tinged. When I had the sample of LBB in hand at the dealer, I kind of felt this way about the colour. 3) Also, semi-related to this, I notice that the bottom rocker panel with its sharp edge really works well in underlining the car and draw out its length more. This line is similar to other BMW's including the e92 m3, but I find that this colour can really work this shape well and pronounce it. On the m3's I've seen both black and white don't make this edge pop as much.

I wish the front was a little more subtle. What makes the M3 looks great is the front bumper doesn't stick out much past the grille. The M2 looks huge.
