LeMans Blue v. Montego Blue

I've seen pictures of both but what do you guys vote? The darker LeMans Blue or the slightly lighter Montego Blue?

Suggestions on 335i color welcome

Le Mans for sure. Montego is a great color, but Le Mans is just perfect. My last car was LMB and I miss it so much. I love my black sapphire metallic, but every time I see a le mans on the road, I cringe a little bit for not getting another one.

I typically prefer the lighter shades of blue. IMO Laguna Seca Blue is the sexiest color....for any car ever. I still drool when I see it in person on an E46 M3.

That being said, I prefer Montego over LeMans only slightly. They both look good to me...it's hard to make a clear decision.

I've had two BSM's... was hoping to find a LMB/MB or Alpine white fully loaded M Sport with a MT and coral red interior... Needless to say, I ended up with black on black haha.

Montego and if you apply CQUARTZ UK on the paint that will make the Montego little more darker, that way you would have Montego which is close to LMB

I do agree the Lemans blue looks insanely nice in person, I was talking to a few friends and they said it should only be on an M car though lol. By that logic, red cars should only be Ferraris
