Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

What a great get-together this past weekend.

Unfortunately we didn't have as many blues represented as I would have liked, but I think we did well. I'm hoping to do this again sometime in the future any try to hit 10 different shades of blue.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and saw joined us that day.

Without any further ado, the photos:

In order from left to right: Hera Mica, Mexico, Yas Marino, Macao, San Marino, Tanzanite

Tanzanite next to that San Marino makes it look super dark! Looks like it was a cloudy day too?

The sun was in and out that day. The darker shades change quite a bit when they're in the shade.

Speedwell-Industries · 08-01-2018, 05:27 PM

Awesome shots! Loving every shade of blue

r0wr · 08-01-2018, 06:55 PM

Awesome line up. That SMB is outta this world though.

NTMR_M3 · 08-01-2018, 07:16 PM

God San Marino looks good is ALL light. I also can't believe how much YMB has grown on me over the years.

4everkidd · 08-01-2018, 07:47 PM

Wow... I don't believe I've seen Macao.

Would love to see it in person

Edit: 30 Jahre comes in this Color. It's beautiful

pheerIx · 08-01-2018, 07:55 PM

Mexico and San Marino

'Cane · 08-01-2018, 08:39 PM

Very cool to see them all together like that (would have been cooler if they all lined up in order, but that may just be my OCD talking).

gatorfast · 08-01-2018, 09:27 PM

San Marino is such a rich color and really stands out. I love the Mexico blue as well which makes ymb look so dull when next to it.

Yas_sir · 08-01-2018, 09:48 PM

Macao is really growing on me.

I used to hate YMB, I still wouldn't want to own it but it has grown on me as well.

Those two colors are incredibly polarizing.

MicaCeli · 08-02-2018, 12:06 PM

Let me know next time, we can add our Atlantis to the lineup.

Awesome shoot!

JoePcone · 08-03-2018, 08:33 AM

What(gold) wheels are on the Yas Marina?

chmura · 08-03-2018, 08:45 AM

Would be nice to see LBB in the mix.

Kief · 08-03-2018, 08:45 AM

I love my Tanzanite Blue, but that San Marino Blue is on another level!
Great pics! Thanks for sharing

ditto, would also like to know. They look great.

M4_CaptFlashheart · 08-04-2018, 04:58 AM

So where is my blue then? Riviera Blue? Does it just slot in between Mexico and Yas?

M4_CaptFlashheart · 08-04-2018, 04:59 AM

It's very similar to Mexico blue. Riviera blue in front and Mexico blue in back. Riviera has a little more teal to it.
