Two views of Seaside Blue on our new 230i X-drive. Haven't seen many photos of this color,so I figured I'd post a couple. Performance Center guys couldn't recall seeing another one, even though it has been offered for the past year. I think it's exclusive to the 2 Series, as well.

I was pushing for cognac, but it's my wife's car and she wanted oyster. After seeing it in person I'm glad she prevailed. My 235i had an oyster interior, so this one is very familiar.

What a great looking car! Congrats. I haven't seen many pics of Seaside Blue either, so thank you for posting. This color looks right at home on the baby bimmer. Your wife has good taste, my friend!

That's my exact car! Always get compliments from the techs, when it comes into the service center.

After picking up the car Thursday at the performance center and traveling around for a few days, we arrived home in New Jersey this evening with 900 miles on the odometer. We hadn't seen Seaside on a 2 Series coupe in person before ordering, and my wife was quite anxious about it. She wasn't sure if she'd like it.

Well, it turns out that the color has a lot of fans. In the past three days we've had numerous people come up to us to say how much they like the color! This includes the valet at the restaurant we ate at on Thursday night and a couple who came up to us at a rest area in Virginia this morning to tell us they'd noticed the car on the road and really liked the color! I can't recall ever getting so many positive comments on the color of a car. Needless to say, my wife is happy with the color of her new ride. She's still a little intimidated by it, though. She says it seems so big compared to her Mini Cooper! Lol.

A couple of shots in the morning light. Really like the color depth and shift from blue to silvery to a little hint of green.

It really is a special color. As soon as I saw it on the lot and drove it, I knew it was my car.

... and one more in the evening sun, showing the silver highlights.

Seaside Blue and Oyster were my first choice on my vert.
Ended up with Estoril Blue and black. Car was on the lot. Got a sweet deal

My M235 vert was Estoril on Oyster. I love most BMW blues. Nobody does it better.
