Yesterday at an Electric expo I saw the IX in this color and was just blown away. This to me is the best colow BMW

It's interesting looking and I'm sure photos don't do it justice so I would have to see it in person as I'm not the biggest fan of teal blues.

I honestly got lost in the various color options, but one very nice BMW rep gave me this link: https://individual.bmw-m.com/F97-11EC—S03

It actually changed some since I last looked at it, but I think you should still be able to see most options.

Online pictures are never as good as seeing a car in person.

My X7 is blue ridge mountain. While I don't think it's anywhere near the "best" color from BMW, I do like it.

Too much silver for me and I like the Miami/teal blues.

The color BRMM has been around for years on the 3-series. No big deal.
As always, it's in the eye of the beholder.

You must not be looking

Driving back from PCD earlier this year, through the blueridge mountains, snapped a handful of pictures of that very color in nature:

This color looks best with blacked out headlines, black accents and rims

It’s a very nice color. BMW has been using it for a while now.
