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

The M8 has some gorgeous colors! Maybe I should just get one of those to save having to spend $5500 on individual paint for the M4.
