I voted Hera Mica, but some blues I prefer over either one: Avus, Snapper Rocks, Atlantis

Avus looks amazing in pictures, but when the first time I saw it in person it looked way too green.

If I were doing it again I'd do Velvet or Hera, but to cloud your decision here is a much much better picture of the LMB.

It looks so different from every other picture I've seen where it looks a lot more dark. I wasn't sure if that pic was edited or more true to what it actually looks like. We actually met at that meet in Jersey a few years back, your car was stunning in person.

Tanz looks very dark blue in the shade and then bright blue in direct sun. It's much darker than the colors you're considering, but here are some examples from ED 2 weeks ago This is what it looks like in indirect light This is with BMW LEDs shining on it This is in the dark shade through a reflective window, but you can see an overhead light reflecting off it To my eye, tanz is dark blue at the darkest - if you like dark blue that flashes bright blue, Tanz is great |

For example, I was dead set on Mineral White after looking at a ton of pics on this forum and reading owners opinions. At the dealership I compared Alpine White vs Mineral White and said f-that, I’m saving $550 and getting the better looking color. I’m happy with my choice but only because I saw it in person.

I had lemans blue on my e93 and I loved it. I was denied it on my M4. Before you pick a blue you need to have the dealer inquire which blues they will do. Just give them a list of the ones you want and see which one you can actually get approved. They will come back with ones they will do. The M4's are made in the Munich factory and at the time I ordered my M4 they still had old paint booths. BMW said the booths were due to be upgraded in 2017. Assuming that was done you may be able to get a wider choice of blues now including lemans.

Can't go wrong with either blue! I chose Avus for mine because I already had LeMans before, but it's gorgeous. Blue Hera I've only seen in pics but looks to be similar enough. As others stated, find out what your options actually are from BMW before agonizing over it too much!
To whoever said Avus was too green - um, what? no green at all in this color.

Personally, I wanted black to begin with. This was a great way for me to dip my toe into another color without having to fully dive in. I'm happy. |

I'd say this is it's "set point" in medium light, i.e., indirect day light, fairly similar to your pic |
