Didnt they used to golf mk2 gti's in that colour? It is nice!!

M3anLantern · 02-05-2017, 07:35 AM

I thought it looked horrible but it's grown on me now. Especially with those new M Sport Plus package wheels ( Can't remember the number and too lazy to check)!

They're 704M's, and yes there are bloody nice! Not a million miles from 442M's though.

FieldingMellish · 02-05-2017, 09:41 AM

Ooof! That's nearly as bad as the M Performance key case. :-)

I think it looks great but I'm a touch wary as none of the pictures of it look real world. I'll reserve judgement till I see it in the flesh.

True they are BMW marketing photos, so likely photoshopped.

Jack_is_Back · 02-05-2017, 10:26 AM

Not a fan from the pictures. Might be one of those colours that looks better in the flesh though.

This. In some ways I wish I'd seen TB in the flesh first as it was a bit of punt. Sadly, it looks just like a flat blue most of the time. Still, the Snapper Rocks looks promising..

M3anLantern · 02-05-2017, 12:06 PM

My brother is super stoked about his incoming TB 4 GC and having seen videos of it I'm quite happy not paying extra for the colour as it doesn't really pop unless it's in the sunlight. Lord knows we don't get much of that here.

Yep it's very lacklustre unless spotlessly clean & the suns out!

It is lovely in bright sunshine but when it's overcast not so good.

sahajesh · 02-05-2017, 12:18 PM

Bloody 4 series gets better colours than the 3

I do think it'd look better on a 4 than a 3 though - too light for a saloon, if that makes sense.

Postcab · 02-05-2017, 12:53 PM

Not sure myself - will need to see it in the flesh.

It looks very similar to a colour Rover offered on the 200 Coupe - Polynesian Turquoise. But I won't hold that against it...

Same here. It looks like a colour that will look best in California, less so on a grey day in the UK.

Still, a change from the usual palette.

Dave1963 · 02-05-2017, 01:05 PM

Not overly awed by it myself......As others have stated though, it might look better in the flesh and in some good light.

....,,,,..,,.. · 02-05-2017, 01:08 PM

I believe the colour is limited to the 440i.

BMW have stated they do have an image to keep up and lesser models are not allowed to have it.

Additionally, they have said various shades of black will be reserved for diesels.

sap1000 · 02-05-2017, 01:12 PM

saw it on an m2 while at dealers on friday and it didn't stand out to me as it was wet and overcast.

Is that to mask the thick smoke that covers the rear of the car?
