Blue Bay Lagoon metallic

TheDutch · 11-28-2022, 08:57 AM

As I didn't see the color on the web yet, a picture to improve that. Blue Bay Lagoon on the iX1.

That was what i initially ordered, but then i changed to Portimao blue.

Any more pictures? My spec is still amendable...

tex2670 · 11-28-2022, 09:06 AM

Oh wow. That looks A LOT lighter than in the Build Your Own renderings on the website. Storm Bay Metallic looks a lot different in actual pix too - something about that more expensive paint I guess....

I ordered a Portimao blue iX1 in October, still havent had acceptance or slot from BMW AG.
Has anyone in UK had a slot ?

tgmorris99 · 11-28-2022, 10:55 AM

Looks very different than the almost Teal color in the Build Your Own.

Doing some sleuthing I ran across this image as well from Motor-Talk

May need to change the order from Phytonic to this.

My dealer has had this arrive in the last few days…

FlashMonkey929 · 12-14-2022, 01:57 AM

That's a color I would have strongly considered if it was available at launch. Reminds me of the Laguna Seca Blue that was on the e46 M3's.

Paradocks · 12-14-2022, 12:37 PM

You guys are making it tough to pick a color for my order.

you're welcome!

Alpine White and Mineral White are also very pretty... (which is a shock to me as I usually don't like white car/SUV)

My current car is Quartz White, a metallic white color that really sparkles in the sunshine. But you have to look real close to see the flakes in it, and they pretty much disappear on cloudy days.

you may want to consider your interior color preference when deciding exterior.
Some exterior colors go better with some interior colors IMHO.
Hopefully this will help you narrow down a bit...

I'm leaning towards Oyster with Eucalyptus trim. Of the three exterior colors I am considering (San Remo Green, Utah Orange, and Blue Bay Lagoon), this combination probably works better with the green or orange.

I am not partial to black interiors...too monochromatic. The hybrid I drive now has a gray interior that closely resembles the shade of BMW's Oyster. It makes the interior look bright and airy.
