The new X5M has a similar Marina Bay Blue color. Of course, you can't get this color on an X3M.
These new G80/G82 color selections are a scam...forcing you to buy an individual color for an extra $5k. Interlagos Blue and Lemans Blue, plus Space Gray on an E9X M3 were standard colors for $550.
Isle of Mann Green is a nice British Racing Green alternative.
If you need a blazing SoCal Sun to see the blue in your paint, like Carbon Black and Tanzanite Blue, that means it will be black at nigh,t which defeats the point of getting a bright color. Portimao Blue is not so great Frozen. Portimao Blue might be too light a shade of blue...darker than Estoril Blue...but not San Marino Blue.
They seem to have gotten the colors right on the new M8s...

Interlagos and Le Mans are really nothing special, Portimao is close enough and better than either IMO. Yes, it is lighter.
