SMB looks different depending on lighting and angle. The one down side for me is that in certain angles the metallic flakes is so strong that almost makes it look green or purple chrome color. Makes it look less classy. MBB is just a rich looking blue no matter what lighting. Alan

Looks beautiful
What are the chances BMW offer this as a standard color on the AWD version?? Please BMW!! OP please find a Portimao Blue G8x (or G2x) and park next to it for a few comparison pics!! I cannot justify the $4k difference otherwise

You should justify it. MBB is a really special M color. Go see it in person.

What did you have to go through to get it approved?

They gave us so many cool colors and PB seems like an afterthought. You know I'm not one to unduly complain.

Personally I think his pics already show enough for me to feel that this is a better color than PB and worth the price, but yes lets see the comparo pics

Thanks for posting that PB vs MBB comparison pic... MBB is definitely a better/more special color to my eyes. The question I guess is whether it's $4000+ better/more special. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer.

It's a question of taste. If you really can't stand PB and want a nice blue MBB is the way to go (it's a little cheaper than San Marino, at least in Switzerland). I was between PB, IOMG and Black. I went with Black but would have totally also be happy with PB or IOMG. I like PB, don't know why so many people complain...it looks special imo. |

In Switzerland, on a M340i, PB costs CHF 1290.- whereas the MBB costs CHF 4240.- so a difference of CHF 3000.-. So for me, it's worth it as it's a simple way to get a unique car But BTW PB is a very nice color! Last edited by WestCoast76; 04-02-2021 at 11:22 AM.. |

Having seen PB on an M3 in person I still like it and don't care that our "poor friends" have it on their 3 & 4 series. I know that mine will be ceramic coated and kept clean so it'll turn heads anyway

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.
