My 1 week old Azurite Black. This is seriously the same car.

- Left hand side in today's sun.
- Right hand side is less light on collection day.

Love it!!! Genuinely same car, same phone no filtering.

SMB over SS is an amazing combo, particularly with the dark 666s like the one pictured in this thread. But if it were me I'd do SMB over black.

That said, white contrasts extremely well with the dark bits/wheels and is drop dead gorgeous in person. While white isn't an exciting color, it's classic, handsome and historically a top choice for M cars. However, having seen an AW next to a MW... there's zero contest, AW is much richer. MW can almost look dull so beware. In fact, just saw one this morning on the drive to work with a bright white C7 behind it.... the C7 popped much harder.

All, thanks so much for the replies!

I didn't get any email notifications for replies though I'd sworn I'd turned the setting on! Needless to say I forgot to actually check the thread...

In the end I went ahead and ordered SMB + SS Extended! From the pictures you guys provided, I'm glad I went with that choice as it looks stunning!

It's still scheduled for delivery beginning - middle November! Can't wait!

I have the same combination on my 3 weeks old F83, I get a lot of compliments it looks stunning under all lighting conditions.
I also asked the members here before purchase and almost 90% said SMB.

SMB is stunning. I usually get white cars but I would go SMB on my next M

I'll be collecting this weekend, will be sure to post some pictures!
