EB looks so much better with the 228 M sport wheels.

Agree totally. Makes a huge difference. And if it weren't for those silly run flats on the M-Sport wheels, I'd try a dealer swap when my car eventually arrives.

Test drove this at Laurel BMW chicagoland. Looks way better in person. They also had mineral grey but was still wrapped.

Yes, the bright Al look is much better. I wonder if the std M235i wheels can be polished so they are the bright Al finish?

I really love the look of this color in the pictures that I've seen but the paint chip that the dealer showed me looked a lot different. It seemed darker and had a more purplish hue. They didn't have any EB cars in stock and I don't recall ever seeing this color in person so I'm a little torn. I'm concerned that it will be a little flashy and over the top.

I'd love to hear opinions from people that own it or have seen it in person. Thanks in advance!

It legit looks just like the above 3 pictures. That's a very good representation of what it looks like in shade. In sunlight, it looks a little lighter blue, but not flashy. Overall, if you like a blue car, you will like this color.

^ The M Sport wheels on that EB is just a killer combo. I love that look.

Picked up my new M235i in Munich today. We took a nice drive from Munich to the Ring and then on to Frankfurt.

That colour looks absolutely fantastic on the 2 series in the above picture with the lighting - quite brilliant.

Does it look more dull during the day or just lighter in colour with the sun?

I also noticed the exhaust tips are dark on some customer cars but chrome on others? Is this a regional thing or are the pictures deceiving?

EB looks different depending on the ambient lighting conditions so it behaves very much like a pearl opposed to a metallic. I've even seen a hint of purplish in EB depending on how the daylight hits it. IMHO it looks amazing on the 4 series with those 20" rims, but not as good on the 3 and 2. But you really have to check it out in person.
