Phytonic Blue or Blue Ridge Mountain 330i?

Getting ready to place an order for a 2021 330 x drive. And I'm torn between two colors - Phytonic Blue Metallic (newly available for the 330) or Blue Ridge Mountain. I'm thinking about going with cognac leather inside. Anybody have thoughts about these two exterior colors? Would you steer me away from either of them?

Took delivery of a Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic with Canberra Beige interior for the Mrs a couple of weeks ago.

It's a unique color and there are not a lot of them around. It's closer to green than it is to blue. If the car was for me I would have gone with the Phytonic, but her last car was blue so we wanted something different. Several people have commented that it's a nice color, and we have no regrets. It looks great!

As for the interior, she wanted the lighter beige which looks great. I personally like the cognac better. Either interior color will look great with both the Blue Ridge or the Phytonic.

Skyrider - I have the same colors in my car. I just picked it up yesterday and haven't taken a lot of pictures yet. I agree, the Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic is more on the green side. I would say it is a teal.

Yes, teal is a good description. Congrats and enjoy the car!

I saw Skyrider's pictures on the other forum. They look great, and made waiting unbearable for me lol

I just submitted my 2021 330e order the other day with the same color options and can't wait for it to arrive.

Great color combo! The fact that it’s so uncommon makes it even better.

I love my Portimao Blue! Very bright color that looks awesome on G20. I have cognac leather interior and black merino leather dashboard - I think it's the best color combination. I'd recommend you to have a look at Portimao Blue before you place your order.

I think Blue Ridge Mountain is definitely the more unique color. It leans toward the classy side while Phytonic may be a bit more sporty albeit not as much as Portimao.

I picked up my 320i Sport Line in Phytonic Blue three days ago. I was told I was the first customer to order it in that color at the dealership. i think it turned out stunning!

Phytonic is a stunning colour, shame we cant order it with M sport trim in the UK. Portimao is lovely, but its quite common now, so its nice to have something thats a bit different.

I had a colour similar to blue ridge on a merc, but it looked a bit dull unless it was lovely sunny day, which isnt all that common in the UK!

I’m getting a 330e in Portimao Blue on 1st September and to make it less dark inside I went with Oyster which I hope is a good choice!

Had a dark grey car with black leather interior so fancied something with more ‘pop’.

I did portimao cognac. I was in between this an mineral grey.

After seeing all of the grey cars around town, I'm happy with my decision.

That's the Portimao? It looks a bit lighter than the one I saw at the dealer yesterday, that's a GREAT combo sir.

Portimao looks sooo good I was worried because i afraid of it being to loud. The only decision I kinda regret is I went with the black leather blue contrast stitching. I wanted to go with the cognac but like 90% of the Portimao m340s have that combo so I wanted to be a little different but that combination is gorgeous
