In a parallel universe, if Le Mans Blue wasn't an M-color, he would argue that Le Mans Blue is named after the sky above Le Mans, and not the track itself.

There is also Atlantis Blue (207) which is an 80s color. Atlanta Blue is a Z3 color Silver Grey is not an M color, nor it has anything to do with racing. Not exactly sure why you brought it up. |

Thank you for pointing it out. I was wondering why BMW decided to name a color after an oval. Phoenix street circuit makes much more sense.

I've always loved Laguna Seca Blue. Been tempted to wrap my E90 in it but I don't think it pops as much as it would on an E92, so I've held back.

Great thread OP. Just wanted to point out, you're missing one color! Lime Rock Grey, only available on the M4 CS as of now.

Great post OP.
I prefer reds,silvers, and blues. Currently my favorite is SMB, but the silvers are easier to live with as a DD. Reds are always sexy.

Hmmm, this one is a head scratcher. BMW decided to classify it as a Special Order color. Is it a borrowed color, like the Nardo and Suzuka Grey? |
