Help me pick a blue.

IancoleTX · 01-30-2019, 08:54 PM

Hi all,

Ordering a 2019 M5 on Friday and waffling on the color choice. I have been in love with Long Beach Blue since years ago I saw an LBB/caramel X5M

Snapper Rocks is close to LBB, but a bit more teal. I’ve thought it a bit feminine when seeing it on 4-series locally, but then the 4 series is a bit of a realtor’s Car. Marina Bay Blue is gorgeous and reminiscent of the Lightning Blue color in my ‘17 Shelby GT350, which I love. But it also seems to be a pretty medium blue and a common choice.

I’d like a standout but is a few shades difference for the $5k Individual paint choice? Is there some other color I should absolutely get?

Help!

Thanks all.
Ian

What about Voodoo Blue?

soooma · 01-30-2019, 09:26 PM

Shame on you,
Where's best most unique blue that's not blue?
That's a riddle

Macao Blue!

MBB is everywhere and every review and article, granted because it's beautiful but it's just not unique anymore!

Get a unique Blue

Voodoo Blue is gorgeous and really pops.

stbm5 · 01-30-2019, 11:59 PM

If blue go with the tanzanite...

JOHNBMWM5 · 01-31-2019, 03:21 AM

SNAPPER ROCK BLUE for me, love it.

Alberta · 01-31-2019, 03:34 AM

Frozen Blue is amazing on the M5 !

MBB seems common because of its popularity here on this forum but the chances of you encountering another MBB M5 on the road is slim. I do notice Accords and Lexus in a similar Blue however :/
I have yet to see a MBB M5 on the road in the almost one year of the release of this car here in South Florida, actually in that timeframe I've only seen one F90 on the road(Frozen Red).

Wow, that interior is stunning. What is that?

Macao blue is gorgeous, however a little understated. But gorgeous.

Voodoo so aggressive lol.

Loving this! Keep the thoughts coming all

Hi it's Smoked White with Piano Black and carbon controls. I like it. The CCB's are great too.

dardeca · 01-31-2019, 07:04 AM

San Marino Blue...

or maybe a Frozen San Marino Blue or Frozen MBB

Miko M · 01-31-2019, 07:19 AM

Beautiful. The dash is white? it shows black in the configurator.

Frozen MBB is so gorgeous but I don’t want to accidentally wax it and hate my life one day. And it’s 10k instead of 5 I think.

Velvet is very nice as well, but if I was going purple I would go techno violet

that would look unbelievable with a white interior now that I think about it

The Top of the Dash is Black, the rest Smoked White, a really nice look.

Frozen colors are $5200 in the US.

I agree with some of the others; Voodoo
