That's the problem with these individual colors, it's often not possible to see them in person. I had to take a best educated internet picture/video guess on ordering Enzian blue. I'm hoping it looks as nice when I finally get to see it in person.
Understood, but MBB is standard color on X5/6 Ms and M5/8s. In short, it's a bit easier to find, but not super common.

How would this car look in YMB?

Has anybody photoshopped it yet?

Frankiebones tried to get it as an individual color but they denied it.

MBB is definitely the best blue on offer and my top choice, but scratches, swirls and chips would no doubt drive me crazy with that hue.

Here is a comparison of MBB with PB:
Great shots. Thanks! Love MBB and always a neck and neck with my other fav blue, SMB. While not as deep as those two, I'm not feeling bad about the PB at all, without the extra big price tag!

Agree with you, I keep going between SMB and MBB. Decisions, decisions. MBB does look fantastic in these pics.

This is why MBB over Silverstone was the launch spec for the F90 M5:

I didn't realize that the G8X base seats have simply been lifted from F90 M5 and put into the 2021 Ms. Nice!

Actually the F90 M5 seats are different from the 2021 G8x M standard seat. For one, the side bolsters on the F90 seat are bigger than the G8x standard sport seat. Also, the thigh extension on the F90 seat is electrically adjustable and contoured slightly different from the G8x seat (which has a manual thigh extension). Lastly, the F90 seat has additional articulation forward/backward for the upper part of the seat back whereas the G8x seat does not.

Oh, one last difference is the headrest - the F90's is different if you look closely (not just the M5 label).

On the other hand, the G8x seats get an alcantara strip down the upper/side which the F90 seats do NOT get.

Ah ok, thanks for that breakdown, it helps.

MBB and SMB both look amazing. I almost want the SMB due to the rarity of it, MBB's are everywhere due to being also on M5/M8's.

Now if there's a picture of interlagos blue or laguna seca blue... I would LOVE to see those on the G8X.
