White or Long Beach Blue or...

So I was unsure. I have a beautiful VO 1M, a white M4 and M2 PE. I was hoping Sunset would be close to VO but it's not. So I went today and looked at a new X6M in Long Beach Blue and I changed my order from white to LBB. It shows the lines really well and while its not Estoril Blue it's very nice.

Plus, my grand daughters fav show now is Little Baby Bum(LBB).

A good choice.

I bought an M2 when they first came out, it was LBB.

I just put in my order for an M2C in.....LBB. It's such a phenomenal color. Shows the lines really well, and just looks all around fantastic in all lighting.

LBB stands out against most other cars and looks even better on the M2 than the X6M

As much as I like the LBB, I have shown photos to my girlfriend of AW, HS and LBB and she thinks the first 2 colours look better than LBB on the M2C.

I personally will get HS or AW

The M2 is the only recent M car that doesnt look good in AW. Hides the lines too much. Any other colour is better IMO

Half the time I see a LBB M2, X5M or X6M on the road, they just look teal. I love LBB when it looks blue but can't stand it when it looks teal.

Tried to love the LBB, but after looking at it under all sorts of lighting conditions all I could see is:

My thought exactly. I shot this video yesterday of a 2018 LBB M2. You can see how much teal comes out, especially under bright sunlight:

Went back and forth on colors. Started with HS. Had a quick back seat affair with SO. Decided today on LBB. Hopefully won’t make more than 1/2 dz changes before we are locked.

Atlantis Blue and Snapper Rocks Blue are a lot closer to teal than Long Beach Blue.

AB vs LBB


SRB vs LBB
