I'm sure if they added it then they would ditch Portimao Blue but i get what your are saying.It would be great if they offered Yas Marina Blue again but i don't see that happening.It was a great looking lighter M blue.

BMW did release a new lighter blue color for the new China only i3 model.I didn't see a name for the new blue color.It looks similar to Long Beach Blue.

In case you didn't notice, BMW is restricting the best colors to force buyers to select the Individual Exterior and Interior Leather options for $5k+.

I have an Interlagos Blue/Fuchs Rot E9X M3. I also had a LeMans Blue option.

That is why buyers go Individual to get San Marino Blue, Velvet Blue, Laguna Seca Blue, Mexico Blue. Good luck finding a decent burgundy red.

Fox Red and Tartufo (Tan) Leather Interiors are nowhere to be found...except Tartufo is in X3Ms.

The Coral Red pebbled leather interior in my 2015 F30 335i Estoril Blue sedan is so bad (vs smooth ///M Leather). Estoril Blue is a terrible shade of Blue (like Blue Pink) for a sports sedan. The BMW F36 440i GC in Snapper Rocks Blue is so much nicer (Blue/Green - Aqua), but that is a crazy name for a paint color.

Wait a minute, isn't this essentially the G20 LCI?

Essentially but the front bumper appears to be different at least compared to the one for the M340i that was leaked last year from the supplier in China.I would assume that the interior will be exactly the same for the LCI but with a normal gear shifter.

Definitely not good on that color, and surely a handful of others.

Indeed. While I think it looks good on grey such as my Skyscraper Grey BMW it doesn't look as good on a blue or red BMW.

IND in IL might have a custom BMW Roundel you might like.

The new 50th Anniversary Classic M Roundel looks good on white, black, red, and some blue BMW ///M cars. Gray and Green is iffy. The center wheel caps style should be selected based on the wheel finish, black, gold, gunmetal, and polished silver. Might not be the same as the roundels selected for the hood/trunk. Mix and match.

G01 X3 50th Anniversary Roundels

You can add the pry kit and the center caps when ordering the hood and trunk roundels.
