Struggling to choose a color :(

[s0ul]

Before I begin, I'm not asking for you to tell me which color to choose, I need opinions from those who've seen the color in person or word of mouth.

I'm sold on the color blue, I love blue <3. However, I'm struggling to choose between 3 beautiful colors on the M4.

Yas Marina Blue
Laguna Seca Blue
Atlantis Blue

I've looked them up and I've seen a few pictures of these colors. Yas Marina seems to look real nice when it's dark/shady outside but it looks kinda "faded" to me. Laguna Seca Blue looks gorgeous and bright and there's something about it that makes me melt. I have looked into San Marino Blue but it's too dark for my taste, but I love the metallic reflection it offers which is why I like the Atlantis blue, it provides the similar color as LSB and the metallic feel to it but I have not seen LSB/AB in person to make this decision. I have seen YMB in person.

As far as interior if some ask, Sakhir Orange (Superman Combo!)

Also, if this has been posted, please forgive me :<

Yep. Atlantis Blue is awesome though.

What about Avus blue or San Marino? Those two would be my dilemma in blues..

I had a Le Mans Blue on my E92 and I LOVED it.

I've looked into both of those blue, they were too dark for my taste.

They're all great choices. Depending on which model you're getting M3 or M4. I tend to visualize some colors on coupes, but will never get them on a sedan, and vise versa.
YBM is awesome, that's the color I chose on my M3.
LSB is nice, but I think it's to close to YMB to compensate the $5k price for it, and I normally associate LSB with the E46.
Atlantis blue I have not seen in person, so I can not give you feedback on that one.
Long beach blue is nice, but I just don't know how well it would be with SO interior. The paint looks very rich and glossy, which I maybe able to see it on the coupe not the sedan.
Just my $0.02

Oops, I should probably include which car. It's an M4.

However, thanks for your opinion.

Ok, been an M4, I'll say Long beach blue or Atlantis. As much as love my YMB M3, it doesn't do it for me on the M4.

I cannot find an image of a Long Beach Blue Metallic M4, so it's very hard for me to imagine.

After referring to this, there doesn't seem to be one.

Montego Blue, not a true M color, but stunning!

Tanzanite! All others are just ugly blues.

[s0ul]

After thinking long and hard about this and seeing this post. I've made my decision on LSB!

So you made a post asking for thoughts and opinions from people who have seen the colors in person but made your decision in less than 24 hours?

Have you really decided or are you just saying those photos have you sold but you still haven't decided officially.

I don't know how much searching you have done, but Laguna Seca has been done on the M4 as you can see. Atlantis Blue has been done on the M3. If it were me, I would want something no one else has and that would be the Atlantis M4. To my knowledge there is only one in the world and it is an M3 not an M4.

I loved Laguna Seca on the E46, but like Yas Marina it has a sort of pastel/cream look to it which IMO isn't as nice as the metallic burst you get out of Atlantis or San Marino blue.

Here you will see all three of these blues together and then Atlantis in different lighting http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1154045

I don't know how much searching you have done, but Leguna Seca has been done on the M4 as you can see. Atlantis Blue has been done on the M3.

I've been thinking about it for the past two weeks. I'm likely to change my mind again and yes, I've looked at both I just haven't seen one reasonably close. Some of the pictures looks like they've been filtered.

Unless you can see them in person, going off of opinions of others describing how they have seen it in person would still be difficult.

If your gut is saying LSB then go for it.

I personally wouldn't hesitate with Atlantis because you would be the first M4 with it and the fact that it's metallic, with a similar chameleon like effect as sakhir (both of which drastically change depending on lighting)

Lol at the quick decision. My choice out of all of them is Atlantis. Long Beach Blue is close to Atlantis, but some members said they got rejected from choosing Long Beach Blue by BMW Individual. This is probably due to Long Beach being the feature color for the upcoming M2.

Laguna Seca Blue never did it for me; looks like the rejected crayon color in the Crayola box. But then again, I've never liked Dakar yellow either so what do I know.

How would I be the first M4?

Unless this was a concept but there's one on an m4

No one has ordered an Atlantis M4. You would be the first. That link is to a render of the Concept M4 from several years ago now. It was rendered in a variety of colors.

That is not Atlantis. It is called photoshop.
