All of the bright colours I love on the F80 I don't dig on the G80…

This car really does look best in black.

no, it's a non-metallic paint.

It's just the lighting and camera and internet that make it look darker than it likely is in real life.

These Blues are very hard to photograph of a phone which these were taken on 👍🏻

Owning an Enzian blue car I totally agree.

Given that this is also Mexico Blue, I'd think the photos in this thread are not fully representative of what the color is:
https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...0&postcount=14

Or any one of many photos available of Mexico Blue online:

I'm not sure you can spec this car any better. This may have been my pick, if I ordered my car, today. Even with the black wheels. It's perfect.

Sure looks like Mexico Blue -- I just picked up a Mexico Blue M3 6MT and can attest that it is a difficult color to photograph. The color is darker than Yas Marina Blue by a significant amount; you will never confuse these two colors (also, Yas is metallic). BMW has a blue to satisfy just about anyone!

I love how people are saying "it can't be Mexico Blue" so expertly in this thread, when the owner of the car has actually posted that it is his car and it is definitely Mexico Blue
