Ordering ‘21 M5 Competition Soon - Blue Color Question?
My F85 lease ends in September so I’m in the process of building an F90 Comp. w/ my CA.
This will be my fourth BMW and I’ve never been back and fourth so much on colors. I’m seriously considering Lemans Blue but also like Marina Bay Blue. I had Lemans on my E90 years ago and that to me is a true/ royal type blue. Where Marina Bay Blue is darker w/ some purple hues. I haven’t seen any great comparison pics online but am now wondering if the Lemans Blue is drastically different enough to justify the $5k charge. Any thoughts here?? Off topic: I REALLY want Speed Yellow or even Dakar Yellow but the fiancée said “NO” I’m still trying though. Another interesting note, I checked into a two tone Lemans/ Black interior (like the E39 days). I was quoted an additional $30k and 6 month lead time.

My 03 is LeMans. 19 is MBB (granted frozen)
Generally speaking Marina Bay Blue looks a little bit more Saturated compared to Lemans. Both are dark blues but not as dark as say, Tanzinite blue. Amount of metallic flakes appear similar. LeMans looks deeper (If not a tiny bit darker).. Difference is there when compare side by side. Some difference could also be due to age and the difference in finish. Just my observation of them

Thanks for posting BMWCAT, the two are closer than I thought.
F90 is HUGE compared to the E39 but we knew that. NICE looking E39 btw, brought me to the ///M brand years ago. |

I have seen this on a 911 and it looks very good and is easy to maintain.
