Photoman · 07-25-2012, 10:35 AM

Both are winners! Pretty close in look anyway. Both stunning.

P1 · 07-25-2012, 10:43 AM

Both great in my book.

e85sbm · 07-25-2012, 10:48 AM

Very difficult to tell with the partially cloudy lighting. I almost think they would be same color if you didn't see them side-by-side

DrivenByE30 · 07-25-2012, 10:51 AM

to my granma,

It's the same color!

same difference...

Other than splitting hair and calling it different, Am i missing something?

AustinL · 07-25-2012, 11:03 AM

Honestly from these pictures, I didn't see the difference. But it doesn't matter as they both look astonishing!

BMWPower06 · 07-25-2012, 11:04 AM

I love em both!

Teemo Panda · 07-25-2012, 11:13 AM

they both look like sex

///M1 · 07-25-2012, 11:29 AM

Like both shades of blue, tho IMHO the M5 would look best in the San Marino blue offered on the M6

Alen E90 · 07-25-2012, 11:34 AM

IMO they look identical, but they are still two veryyyyyyy stunning colors

Hasek9339 · 07-25-2012, 11:35 AM

I love blue Bimmers!

I would like to see how the colors compare to Monetgo!

They look close!

heart_doctor · 07-25-2012, 11:44 AM

They look the same to me ....

Turkish Pickle · 07-25-2012, 11:47 AM

oh good to know nothing is wrong with my monitor/eyes. i didnt see the difference too, but i wouldn't say no if they gave it to me

ALPINA B5 · 07-25-2012, 11:56 AM

can't tell them apart

pokerface · 07-25-2012, 12:04 PM

MCB looks a bit richer but that might be just me trying to find a difference.

+1. Even though informed that they belong to 2 colours, I can hardly tell the difference.

IND-Distribution · 07-25-2012, 12:28 PM

Love the direction that BMW is going. These cars are stunning!

remmib · 07-25-2012, 12:32 PM

I gotta say, in those pics, they look the same.

I'd say Montego has a pretty significantly thicker hue to it, especially on a cloudy day:

Blubaron79 · 07-25-2012, 12:47 PM

Seeing the F30 M-Sport next to the M5; I like the F30 without the fog lights that will be coming to the US. It looks odd with the fog lights now..
