Phytonic Blue?

Does anyone here own an M3 in Phytonic Blue?

I'm pretty sure I saw one parked, wasn't sure of the exact color but after seeing that blue on an x3 at my work parking lot, I think it was the same. Would love to see more pictures of that, the lighting really makes that blue pop, and in my opinion one of the better "blues" of the blue options out there, especially since it seems to have a lot of depth/change to it depending on sun/shadows, etc.

Anyone? I'm pretty I saw an M3 with this color, with a cream interior. Looked really nice.

There is no known F80 built in Phytonic Blue. You most probably saw a different car or a different color.

I'll make it my mission to keep an eye out for it then.

It was a blue that had that depth that I've only associated with the few cars i've seen in Phytonic, it was switching to a kind of pastelish shade at times of what reminds me of "pineapple passionfruit" skittles color (I haven't had those skittles in like 15 years, but it's the color that come into my head). Kinda like a nice rich blue, but underneath a soft blue/green/teal when the light shifted.

Sounds kind of like Laguna Seca Blue to me

Kind of, but I would say it definitely was not. It was more vibrant blue in it's normal state, just quick flashes into that tealish color.

Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3 is probably one of my favorite "factory" (off the line?) cars ever.

Same, LSB E46 is what made me fall in love with the M3. I still remember the first one I ever saw too.

Estoril Blue E36 was always an eye-catcher but something about the LSB E46 did it for me.

It was a nice "rich" blue like San Marino but not as dark, and also showed some teal like Atlantis in the shadows. Could have been San Marino I guess, but I would have to see that color in the light again to be sure.
