Doesn't take away from the fact that people want something special as the launch color. And even with VO, you're not going to find many that option another car with that color, leaving it a unique option. There are plenty of blue cars and plenty that look similar to LBB. YMB is pretty unique as far as blues go and still looks good on the M3.

I think you underestimate the amount of VO colored vehicles out there... try looking around a little more.. At any rate.. my point is .. that VO was supposed to be a special launch color... like you " expect".. but by the time it got to market there were also Honda Elements, Honda Fits, chevy cruzes, Hyundai Velosters, Kia Souls, Kia Sportage, and Dodge Challengers in the same color. Apparently BMW AG must have realized it was no longer that unique as the color was then applied to about 5 BMW models. the same color is on the 135, X1 , MINI cooper etc.. Even as it is... Neither VO nor LBB is going to be unique to a model. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 06-30-2015 at 03:42 PM.. |

And yes, I think LBB is a pretty crappy color. These two guys are long beach blue and even they can't stand it -->

No, I don't like YMB, either. Probably , as you mention, because of the baby blue component. Le Mans Blue is where I went in blues - and that was a compromise. Although, I did get a lot of compliments on that color - which I found surprising given it's less than vivacious character. When the choice is solely my own , red is the color I would choose and is, currently, on my car.

From Pyrat rum to the Blue Curaçao liquor ending up in a tropical Blue Lagoon cocktail: the least we can say is that the M Division seems to like Caribbean drinks.
Not saying that the M2 won't look okay in cocktail blue (LBB), but this car deserves red.

The question you want answered is does Long Beach Blue work on a car like the M2?
Yes........

I've seen Long Beach Blue on a X6 M. It look a bit like it was liquid so IMO it works well on bigger cars with bigger surfaces of metal and makes them look more vivid. I'm not sure if it will suit M2 that well, I'm afraid the car is simply too small to get that effect.
