Why the hell couldn't they have used a normal blue like this in their color line up for the M4. All my life I wanted a shiney blue car like this and when I finally could afford one, all they have is vomit blue. I just went with the white sadly. Oh well.

Damn that is absolutely gorgeous! Now someone else bring back Techno Violet and I'll really be even more jealous. The E36 had hands down the best color selections IMO.
Agreed sir.

Reread what i wrote... In general i find it odd for someone to refer to a color as "Dated" or "out-dated". It's a color, they're not generally defined by a time. Right off the bat one could say Avus resembles MCB, Lemans, Interlagos and numerous others. All of which are from different years.

And yes, everyone is entitled to like or not like a color...no issues there.

Avus has a nice subtle pearl in it that can't be seen in these pictures. its a beautiful color. now in pictures it just looks like many common blue hues from several manufacturers which i think is why it can be considered "dated" anyways i'm sure it looks fantastic in person.
