What Blue is this?

Silverstoneorspacegray · 05-26-2020, 04:58 PM

I'm looking at swapping my e92 for an F10 and am still in the beginning stages of looking but stumbled across this one - what blue is this?

DJ///M5 · 05-26-2020, 06:21 PM

Looks to be LSB. Perhaps a individual (low production) color for M5 (F10). LSB is highly sought after in the M3 (E46) platform.

94jedi · 05-26-2020, 07:15 PM

Yep, I believe it's LSB and indeed is an indiv color only on 2015/16 models.

AlisterB · 05-26-2020, 07:31 PM

Agree with the above - appears to be Laguna Seca Blue which is very rare on the F10 M5s.

Silverstoneorspacegray · 05-26-2020, 07:40 PM

Thanks, that's what I was thinking. Think it's a bit much on the larger m5 (as opposed to an e46)

AlisterB · 05-26-2020, 09:16 PM

I don't mind it - in saying that, I tend to like things that are a little 'different' to the mainstream.

Where did you see this? I swear I saw that same car in January online, Habberstad BMW I think. Thought it sold ...

Looks like Santorini Blue also....

Sh!t, just bought a '14 with lower miles and a couple extra options but if I had known this was still available - might have gone for it instead! Love that blue! Either way, my first M car will be here on Sunday. ;-)

My first car ever was a '84 733i, sharknose. Not quite the same blue, but it was blue. 25 years later and I'm gonna be back to Beemer. So effing excited.

DJ///M5 · 05-27-2020, 09:41 PM

If I was searching F10 M5 this car would be on my radar. It's a standout color that you must see on sight to evaluate on a big chassis. My son had a LSB M3 (e46). On BAT a low mileage LSB M3 (e46) sold for 90k.

I purchased SO/SO (Sakhir Orange) M5 (F10). SO is another color to evaluate in person. My current "M" lineup is Alpine white X5M (e70), Royal Red (low production) M5 (e39), Titanium silver M3 (e46).

I love SO; such an incredible color. Almost bought a '13 SO but being a 13 it scared me away. Ended up w/ a 2015.

Yasss. Laguna Seca Blue. Came to prominence with the E46 M3. You don't see it very much but it's a nice color.
