For those that have seen ymb in person..

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Does it look similar to this?... I figured people that have seen the color can best judge.


If so, I've made the wrong choice..lol but I don't care sticking with mw.. I don't even like mercs that much but my goodness... I feel like this is also a baby blue, idk if it's a factory merc blue, but the lighting and black accents make it look darker.. Regardless, ymb has potential! Ymb with carbon fiber parts and black interior should be all win I think. Grew on me a lot.

I would proof you wrong, if I had a photo that doesn't include me in it. she has the same type of frown going on, like she's constipating or passing gas. the last sentence was just pay back to you for making me remember her.

That's a great looking blue. But yeah, YMB is lighter than that.

As other have said, it's lighter. YMB more akin to Smurf blue

Saw the colour in person multiple times; YMB is noticeably lighter than that, especially in sunlight.

Hope that helps

Oh boy, I saw the Chevrolet Volt today, I'm hereby taking back comments made here, and let's just add them to my growing pile of Lups hates American designs.

And sorry Mum, you really do look better now that we have that tiny ocean between us. Let's keep this up, and perhaps grow the distance a little...

Not even close to that blue. It's a lot lighter than that and it's also metallic under hard lighting.

This is probably one of the closest representations of YMB in person. It is even lighter under sunlight and as DrivenMedia stated, very metallic. It's a silver metallic so in sunlight it is very "baby blue". Not a good color IMO but to each their own. I went with Sakhir Orange and people have already told me that it is an ugly color but I've seen it in person and it's gorgeous. Hope that helps!

That looks a lot closer to Santorini Blue. I'd be all over this color on my F80 if it weren't a $5000 Individual option:

Its lighter then that MB pic.

the pic that "S2L_F82" posted is pretty close to what its like. It changes in different lights as well.

Its a great color. I have also been told its the blue in the M logo so just take a look at your M logo and that will give you a sample color

In the M5 thread, that YMB looks like Porsche's Riviera Blue. Is this the case?

YMB looks good on the M5 and if modded right, I think the M4 would look great in this color. Might change from MW.

no, it's lighter with a metallic rose tint to it - like if you ate a bunch of blueberry sour patch kids and then barfed on a pink flower.

YMB looks nothing like that AMG.

A lot lighter, with metallic flake.
