Santorini Blue G82 M4 at the dealership

cfm56d7b · 05-14-2021, 12:19 PM

Santorini Blue has a very unique saturated, liquid-like appearance. Very striking!

I still favor San Marino Blue by a few margin points.

RyanBMW · 05-14-2021, 12:19 PM

Wow!!

Germanauto · 05-14-2021, 12:22 PM

That's hot.

6speed_M2 · 05-14-2021, 12:51 PM

Blue is the COLOR for this gen M3/4. Absolutely beautiful

Mperor · 05-14-2021, 01:01 PM

How's Santorini compare to Voodoo blue? Which one is "brighter" or has more "pop"?

AmyBabyy04 · 05-14-2021, 01:12 PM

Love it

Voodoo is a little darker. Both pop although I like Santorini because it is more unique. Plenty of voodoo blue Toyotas and GT3s.

stulio2181 · 05-14-2021, 01:38 PM

Great color!!

gemini.m3 · 05-14-2021, 01:51 PM

Meh, I like the Portimao blue or whatever is called - fits the car better. darker colors.

LivinLrge · 05-14-2021, 01:56 PM

this is making me rethink ordering alpine white...this blue is sick. It does remind me of being in Sorrento..the water looks identical.

Sedan_Clan · 05-14-2021, 02:17 PM

Well hello pretty!!!!

CDN-Driver · 05-14-2021, 02:23 PM

Another nice blue!

Was just about to ask this exact question. Trying to rank order the blues by hue or saturation. Lol.

I thought voodoo looks lighter? This is where the online individual configuration site falls down on colors.

Blue is default in Canada, and I refuse to pay $750 for a different colour. So blue

I don't care if the shade doesn't match, and I don't want to pay for CCB even though the gold calipers would be my preference out of all colour options.

CruzM3 · 05-14-2021, 03:01 PM

I love Santorini Blue but it doesn't look good on G8x. Still trying hard to like this new design & direction from BMW.

M2forme · 05-14-2021, 03:19 PM

Is it just me or does that have "fist" size wheel gap?

Neptune7 · 05-14-2021, 03:52 PM

I think BMW's got Blue figured out.

Its lower in the final pic where you can clearly see they're removed.

I think voodoo is a tad lighter (those BMW configurator samples are way off and unreliable though).

I think, in order of lightness from non-metallic blues:

riviera
mexico
pure
voodoo
santorini
gentian
violet

So where is Enzian in this scale? And it is not in the Individual Configurator

And which blue is the one at the front and the one at the back from this picture?
