Favorite blue paint BMW or not

KirtC · 05-08-2015, 01:29 AM

I would like to get opinions from people. What is your favorite blue you've seen on a car whether it was a BMW or not. If you can link to or post a picture that would be great.

I hate Yas Marina. I like lots of the other BMW blues, but I'm curious what others may have seen that they really like.

BMW has had many good shades of blue throughout the decades.
I have a soft spot for the darker hues.

My personal favorite is Le Mans Blue, especially on an E39 M5 or E90 M3.
To me it is blue in its purest form.

Interlagos Blue is another favorite & looks great on pretty much all the Ms that it was offered on: E46, E60, E86, E9X.
Slight purple hue and looks really athletic on M-cars without being too bright and drawing too much attention.

It's LSB hands down for me:

I'm a big fan of Estoril, Monte Carlo, and Santorini.

alee0729 · 05-08-2015, 08:02 AM

My favorite blue is Jerez Black.

SteveInfante · 05-08-2015, 08:03 AM

Deep Impact Blue 13-14 MY Mustangs. It's the Purple metal flake in the paint that does it for me.

Laguna Seca Blue is blue but it's special.

EJT86 · 05-08-2015, 08:53 AM

Porsche Sapphire blue is gorgeous in person! Saw a macan in that color last week

Monte Carlo Blue is my favorite, especially on a E92 M. Yaz Marina Blue is not bad in person, but I don't think it photographs well. A bit too soft for me though.

I don't hate any car color but I agree YMB is awful. With that said, my favorite is Interlagos Blue.

Interlagos and Le Mans Blue are two excellent shades from BMW.

My favorite current blue is Voodoo Blue from Porsche. I'm hoping that Porsche opens up PTS for my late allocation GT4 because I think I might bite the bullet and pay the premium for this color.

SunnyD · 05-08-2015, 11:43 AM

For BMWs, it's Interlagos.

buddalun · 05-08-2015, 11:49 AM

BMW's best blue, IMO is Azurite.

Are you color blind?

That Civic looks NOTHING like Voodoo Blue. To each his own.

Another vote for Laguna Seca Blue. IMO it's the most beautiful color ever available standard on any BMW ///M
