Which blue do you think would look best on the M2c?

Well, my car is finally on a ship after ED! Looking to get some ppf once it lands. I'm exploring either a custom wrap or autoflex coating. If anyone has any feedback/ experience with autoflex, please share!

While I like HS, I believe the M2c should have a bolder color. I like my bimmers in blue I've narrowed it down to 2, but curious which blue you all think would look best on the M2c?


Here are some examples for reference

I always loved Laguna Seca Blue. I would have ordered in that color had it been available.

I love Mexico Blue. Laguna Seca is nice as well but I'm generally not a fan of the darker blues that start crossing with purple. LBB is just okay. Some days I love it and other says it's meh.

Avus Blue looks classy af. Not too blue/bright and poppy/eye-catching. Not too dark or purpley. Yet dark enough that the gloss enhances the body lines.

My current favorite blue is Porsche's Gentian but Laguna Seca would be my choice out of the bmw colors for the m2(c). I find that the darker colors show off the hips and front fenders the most.

Jesus... you like blue man. Haha

Heard you want some blue to put with your blue on top of your blue.

Interlagos Blue if it’s a BMW Color. That or Laguna Seca would be #2. The best Blues ever are Audi’s Nogaro Blue, or Porsche’s Riviera or Mexico Blue.

This is the blue color I was trying to talk my dealer into letting me order before it was confirmed that individual was not an option and I went with LBB (which I absolutely love):



Of the colors listed here I'd probably go with San Marino blue.

Santorini, trust me on this one.

There are so many votes for Laguna Seca Blue, but has anyone seen it IRL next to LBB? You would notice that LBB is basically the same color as LSB but metallic instead of non-metallic. If Austin Yellow was the reincarnation of Phoenix Yellow, LBB is the modern LSB.
