Thanks...
WallyE! I remember your M3. I have the picture with the fall leaves saved on my phone still! Tanzanite will be a challenge, but if I see one pull into service I'll do another lineup!

Smurf Blue Metallic certainly is polarizing, if nothing else.

Wink Oh my God

Now that Portimao Blue is the star and the novelty, many of us love it. I have a 3 Estoril F30 sedan and I still love it...
Oh my God ! I also like San Marino...
But it is increasingly difficult to choose between the blues because it is how to choose between attractive women and how I like mature women, although I am 37 years old, it will be like the next anology....

Portimao Blue is fascinating as Connie Britton, Estoril Blue is delicious as Robin Wright, San Marino Blue is a love as Courtney Cox Arquette and Yas Marina is sexual as Demi Moore. I want all love

I am torn between San Marino Blue and Tanzanite Blue. Both are outstanding. But I think when it comes down to it Tanzanite Blue gets the edge. Atleast for me

Every time I see San Marino my jaw hits the floor. Such an amazing color.

The new G20 can't compare to the F80 in both color and looks honestly. Call me biased or whatever. Hopefully the G80 looks a lot better.

San Marino blue and Marina Bay blue (current M5) are the best BMW blues by far.

Nice line up thanks for posting.. SMB > All others imo.

That said and though I know it's not sedan color offered for those sedans, I would have liked to see Phytonic Blue in that line up. I ordered it without seeing the color in person and coming from Tanzanite I'm not expecting it to be as good.

From left to right in the first picture:
