I have a G87 in PBM on order. I chose PBM because I think it goes well with the blue brake calipers and the buckets.

The color pops in the sun, but when it’s cloudy I find it underwhelming and it seems to take on a purple look (see the attached pics).

Has anyone else observed this?

I actually like the purple tinge it has in dull light. It adds something to the depth of the blue.

Absolutely love the silver wheels. These were my 1st choice but since I bought mine from dealer stock rather than special order I was “stuck” with black/silver.

I had a PBM 330e, and yes it has a purple tint to it under less than sunny conditions. Marina Bay Blue on my wife's X3MC is a step above in the blue category.

I have a PBM car and I specifically wanted the blue calipers and blue stitched seats rather than the red calipers and M colored red/blue seats. I think that the “all blue” theme is unique because there is no Toronto red anymore to match the red brembos although there are all red (non-m colored) seats. I think the PBM will stand the test of time. I was afraid to go with a lot of the other colors as I feel they might seem dated in 10-15 years (I’m into this car for the long haul).

Yep. That looks a whole lot better. It looks the way it should from the factory IMO.
