Yeah, I have a thing for Blue Bimmers.
For having a "thing" for blue Bimmers, your color analysis is surprisingly poor. YMB doesn't have any green in it at all, so it is nothing like a turquoise or teal variant like LSB. Your comment about LSB looking like "smurf" blue says it all - that's a function of poor photo quality (usually found in low-quality cameras taking direct-sunlight pics), as LSB in the flesh (again, due to its green hue) doesn't look anything like smurf blue (or YMB) in the real world.

YMB may not look good to you in these pics, but the only current BMW blue it actually resembles is a mix between Estoril (for the shade and metallic effects) and Santorini (for the blue-purple hue). Estoril would barely look any different than YMB, just a little bit lighter and less bold.

I actually have a thing for Blue Bimmers as well (eight years running with an LSB M) so I am qualified to debunk your speculative chromatics. I will be ordering mine in either LSB or Atlantis Blue.
