What do you guys think about Monaco blue?
My wife is finally looking for a new car and was considering a new camrey, but after making her drive my car, she was won over by my BMW and shes looking at getting a 335i coupe. She say she likes Monaco blue with saddle brown but I haven't seen it in person. Can you guys who have monaco blue post some pics of monaco blue in the light. And if you have Monaco blue and saddle brown how does the two colors contrast. You can also throw in some pics of the interior too (preferably with saddle brown).

Not a very good shot, but thats my moms 2009 x3si in Monaco blue beside my 328i. Monaco is a beautiful colour, one of my favourites. Saddle brown is also beautiful and classy. I have it in my 328.

Day I bought her before they removed the gold pin strip and detailed her.

Agreed because I think Alpine white and coral red is the best combo

I have a personal affinity for MB, as it was the color of my first ever BMW. However, given I love blue, I have to say I love Montego Blue MUCH more.

I love Monaco Blue on my car... no regrets after 2.5 years of ownership...
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=251192 Goes well with the beige interior... although I sometimes wish I had taken a closer look at the Oyster interior.

i will 2nd that, my dad's e90 is deep sea blue(somewhat close to monaco) and i have montego, side by side they look like two different cars in the sense of what image they protray, one is more classy and other is more sporty. (imo)
it was the hardest choice on what color to get that i made in a long time. i was deciding between the red or blue and then between montego and le mans. i liked le mans but just wasnt sure on the purple shade in it would be dated in 5 years. have fun deciding!

Monaco is a great color. It's very classy and stylish with the subtlest "sleeper sporty" aspect to it as opposed to "plain" classy colors like ordinary blacks. However, I just got a chance to see Deep Sea Blue in person, and WOW that's an amazing color. It's a hair closer the sporty side of the classy/sporty continuum compared to Monaco because DSB manages to be a darker navy most of the time but displays a very prominent and rich royal blue undertone in sunlight. If I ever get past enjoying the more obviously sporty colors like my current Le Mans, Deep Sea Blue would be high on my list along with Carbon Black. If you can find one of those...
