What an amazing color and choice!
That is as close as it gets to the legendary laguna seca blue, if not better!

Enjoy your new M///

I know that paint code for Violet Blue is P6F !
Yeah, 399 is not this, but another ultra rare color (with a bit of an infamous story behind it) and is what I'm going to build out mine with.

Almost any BMW blue is always a good choice, congrats!

Violet Blue vs Velvet Blue...anything close to Laguna Seca Blue is a WINNER.

Reminds me of the Atlantic Blue vs Atlantis Blue BMW E9X M3 controversy.
Ordered one color and got the other.

Gotta translate into German...as a double check.

This looks really good.

A little confused why they call it violet though…does it ever show a purple hue?

Its absolutely the best blue I have seen. As someone else has also mentioned, it looks so close to Laguna Seca which is my favorite BMW blue of all time. Congratulations!

Velvet blue has a ton of violet/purple in it
Violet blue has none

This does look close to Porsche shark blue

No purple. Under low/indirect light (or cloudy skies), it has a deep blue tone w/ some Violet hue to it.

Purely based on internet pictures, I would say closer to Porsche "Golf" blue (not to be confused w/ "Gulf" blue).
