Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic G20 3 Series

otay · 03-28-2019, 07:59 AM

Hmmm. Seems to have a bit of grey, too. I like it.

Not completely won over yet, but remove the silly side graphics and this G20 is best looking so far.

yeah, i'm still debating if i want a m sport or sport line. If I go sports line I'd probabyl think about this color or mediterranean blue.... I had an m-sport before, and honestly the front end look I'm a bit over (i mean really its overly aggressive for a car that has exactly the same engine etc).

Just need to test drive the normal model and m-sport to see how different the suspension is.

I have a F10 M-Sport with Carbon Black Metallic paint which is a smidge darker blue than this. Looks mean!

If this color is made available for other models, I may opt out of grayscale palette for the first time.

X3Bob · 03-28-2019, 08:46 AM

Looks like the perfect color for driving The Tail of the Dragon.

ThugzZ BunnY · 03-28-2019, 09:02 AM

reminds me of midnight blue.

floridaorange · 03-28-2019, 09:04 AM

Looks awesome! We have a house in the blue ridge mnts. Love the name.

BklynNYBMW · 03-28-2019, 09:10 AM

It looks like Steel Blue Metallic or Blue Water Metallic BMW offered on the 3 series a few years ago. I had a 330i (2003) that was Steel Blue Metallic and replaced it with the Blue water Metallic 335i xdrive after (2006).

FINALLY. A Blue that isn't sky blue!

PARTS@STBMW · 03-28-2019, 09:36 AM

Now that's a color!

ted99 · 03-28-2019, 11:00 AM

Sure wish my dealer had color panels like that. Would be as good as Porsche dealers, then

Well I might be partially colorblind, but to me Steel Blue and Blue Water are a completely different - much lighter shade of blue than the Blue Ridge.

I recently placed an order for a 330i in Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic. I have never seen it on an actual car, only colour samples at the dealership.

I'm not sure if I'm choosing the right colour. Any one have seen it?

Below are the samples.

Would have to see it in person. Hard to tell in pictures from the 1st iPhone. But car presents well.

Persius · 03-28-2019, 02:17 PM

This color is not looking at all whats offered on the bmwusa.com website. Looks green on the site, the first photo the op posted is very blue.

Yeah, agree. Not sure who thought those decals were a good idea.

havenyoung · 03-28-2019, 03:41 PM

I see that this color has started appearing in some dealers' inventory.
But I guess no one has received any shipment because there is no real picture yet.

That same car has a lighter brown colored interior (forgive me, I'm not well-versed in e90 colors) and whenever I see it, I think, "Damn. Why don't they make them like that today?"

I say you've made a great call. Anything is better than Portimau Blue.

E90 is probably an artic silver then.

Possibly Tamsin green metallic?

Yes! That has to be it.

advantage20 · 03-28-2019, 06:34 PM

Google it and you'll find it less blue and more grey than in the original post photo.

Still a very nice alternative for whoever wants a discrete not in your face color without defaulting to a dull ubiquitous grey.

This colour is dravit grey. Blue ridge mountain is only available on 840d not on 850i. Its taken from G14 brochure. You can check it. But there is a blue ridge mountain in one page. Not a real car though.

BackBlue · 03-28-2019, 10:31 PM

Reminds me of the color on my old Impala SS lead sled from the 90's (green grey metallic).

Schmitz · 03-29-2019, 08:42 AM

Looks a fair bit different than the configuration but I like it.
