Ideal Paint Color for M235i

What color would you say the M235i would look best in? (Doesn't have to be a factory color)

Laguna Seca Blue comes to mind for me.

I'm really happy with Estoril and I've never had so many positive comments about a car color.

If M2 would allow ind orders i would hand over my money for a JG M2.

But they don't. So i think ill get a 500 HP C63 S Coupe whenever they decide to release it.

I wonder why no love for Red. Is it just that people are sick of it from all the marketing?

I'm happy with my Alpine White, but I think that this car would look interesting in something like British Racing Green (e.g., Jag F-Type) or BMW's Deep Green.

Hellrot or Lemans blue would be my two pics.

The 2 looks great in red, I think more people just prefer blues.

I think red cars are for girls...

In fact the only car I will consider red is a Ferrari.
