That has always been my feeling. Blue is a nice color but I can't have it every day.

Must admit, I can't viscerally relate to these concerns. Not blue in my case, but walking up to my current Valencia Orange 2 every time is another serving of eye candy for me, especially when the sun hits just right and there's a burst of gold. I could NOT care less about attention or lack thereof from others. Had my share of grey/silver, etc., and just not stimulating enough anymore (took the white 330 due to timing/availability of need). Once again, to each their own!

Agree 100 percent. I have emailed Bmw 100 times that they make Carbon Black for every MSport model but the three series. This is there first time they are offering a dark blue, Tanzanite, for an Msport. This is also the first time they are making the 6 cylinder as only an MSport.

$550 like the other metallic colors but only available with the M-Sport package, so $5,550.

I chose Dravit Grey on Cognac for my G20 330i. In Canada we can order this colour for the 330i model but it doesn't seem to be available for US orders.

Does anyone have any pictures of Blue Ridge Mountain? In configurator images it looks light similar to the light green that was offered on the e46s (don't have the name), but the pics in this thread look much darker. It would be nice to have a green option!

I'm also loving Portimao blue, I want to get a side-by-side shot with my car!

Portimao Blue...but based on the poll results I shoulda went individual!!!

Cognac interior, black wheels


I love bright\electric colors.... Sakhir Orange for 3 years, never gets old... My local dealership usually carries 3 colors: black, silver, white! All of a sudden they had an increase in Sakhir Orange (2 now) requests!! Hmmm...

Wish we could get Austin Yellow!

We are about to order our new car - BMW 3series. All the individual paints are available from July 2019 and the colour I too much desire is available (of course, on special request).

I ordered blue ridge mountain and I 'm not sure if I did the right choice as I have never seen a car in the color. below are the samples.

I would have went this route if I wasn’t in a rush to get my replacement vehicle. Nice combo!

Thanks Mate !! I'm ecstatic bro . Atleast youll be getting your car pretty soon right ? Is it on a boat yet . Mine just went into production.
And your color combo is sexy, trust me. We always want what we don't have. After a few months I'm sure I would want Tanzanite or Portimao . I was also contemplating Oyster interior , I went mad for a few days until I finally decided on Gravit Grey and Cognac. We both went from an M4 to M340i , and I'm positive we're gonna love this car.

I'm almost certain that is Black Shappire. It's just sparkling and metallic as hell because of the lightening.

Mineral Grey for me this time after almost 4 yr with my current Estoril blue f32. Similar Portimao blue is definitely a Pass for me. Blue is too loud of a color for me. Too much attention than I need. If BMW didn't decide glacier silver and M sport pkg or M340i can't co-exist, I would choose GS instead.
