While I can't disagree, it's still my #1 choice of blue. Almost paid the 5k charge for it on my first f80. Mineral white was more affordable though.

It's true, sometimes I feel it pops a bit too much. Specially with the blingy 666. It happens around noon - 4pm on a sunny day. Mornings and evenings and cloudy days you can see a hint of purple and the pop is reduced to an incredible tone.

I don't have a blue car, but San Marino blue without a doubt between those two colors. It just looks classier while still sporty.

@mar48 do u use a filter bc the Tanz in ur pics are about to put TB over SMB in my list.
Ha! Thanks man.
I edit all my pictures, I don’t use filters, try to get the color to show as I see it since it’s hard to picture. They are pretty accurate.

Here are a couple non-edited pictures I took (up close) to try to capture the metallic flake.

Edited: washed the car today and tried to capture the color (no edits to these pics).

Felt the same way, then I witnessed it live, LSB really moved up the depth chart.

I keep wanting to get an M4 CS before they're gone, but I just can't part with the color on this car. My favs: Santorini (below), LSB, Miami, SMB, Le Mans. Also appreciate Estoril Blue on the older M's when I see it. I think people mistake Santorini for YMB, which I also until you see them side by side. Not the best pic but shows the color well in the sun with some shadows and contrast.

Never confused Santorini with YMB, sooo much deeper

Pretty rare also on the M as it was common in the Msport 340.

SMB as well - but get used to attention, comments and stares.

Just in for oil change and inspection.

Identical issue. I'm not big on the fueling up comments but she takes it to extremes, she's not big on "strangers". Too bad because I think it's a killer color.
LSB shows really well on this car.
