Damn that is one light colored blue.

Amazing photos, thank you for sharing! That CS Front Lip.

Gotta get a Montego Blue metallic in there asap.

Aaaaaaaaa · 09-13-2018, 02:13 PM

I saw Macao in person yesterday. Looked like a dark Daytona Violet at first. Only way I knew it was Macao was that the car was a 30 Jhare M4 vert. Also saw Avus. It's very nice in person really pops. Looks too dark in most pictures.

If there is one in the tri-state, I'd love to. I don't think any exist. Kind of making me think that an Individual F80 in Montego would be sick...

We tried to capture it as best as possible, it probably comes off somewhat grey here.

I like the blue car

Yeah several times when I have had to valet my car (no option not to) and I have looked at the ticket after the color is listed as grey- especially at night.

6ixSpd · 09-13-2018, 02:32 PM

San Marino is the sexiest BMW colour since Techno Violet.

xcusem3 · 09-13-2018, 02:42 PM

No Santorini?!?!?

If you don't mind letting a little ol' N51 hang out with the big dogs, then I can represent Montego Blue for the tri-state

I'd love to see this color on a newer model like the F80

Hera Mica Blue looks great!! Looks very similar to Avus Blue-- I wonder if there's any side by side pics on here

I want to try to get some. I've seen Avus in person and I feel like it looks nothing like Hera Mica.

I know this thread is about Blue bimmers, but I'm more interested in the red M3 at the end

In retrospect we should have went from light to dark but oh well was an awesome day of cruising around. I was so hangry

PARTS@STBMW · 09-13-2018, 03:05 PM

Loving all these blues!

Thanks for the link, now I think I need to test drive an M3.

Missing the best of all blues ever, Santorini Blue. Great lineup, love the SMB

E9TOU · 09-13-2018, 03:23 PM

Just reminds me that BMW has some really nice hues of blue. Next time you guys should get more blues in -- i know there are a couple more missing that are also located in the northeast. Atlantis and Laguna Seca to name a couple (although i don't know the owners).

MSCD · 09-13-2018, 03:31 PM

Loving the BMW blues. We have a Deep Sea Blue which changes colour in different lights. Can see green in it in some lights then goes almost black in others.

A lot of BMW's wear blue well

Law · 09-13-2018, 03:40 PM

BMW blue colors are quite timeless.

Would've been nice to have Interlagos, Le Mans, Laguna Seca, Estoril, and perhaps Santorini thrown into the mix.

Photoshoot Part 2?

Klambo · 09-13-2018, 03:53 PM

Love San Marino but Hera Mica is a sleeper! Love them all.

Agreed...I've been trying to find a side by side of Santorini and SMB to decide which blue is truly the best...both are 1a and 1b imho.
