Le Mans blue vs. Montego blue

I'm looking at ordering a 135 this week. Does anyone have a link to photos of the two colors? They look very similar on the BMW website and I'm hoping to see some actual examples.

Thanks,

Eric

Thanks for the links. It does seem quite hard to distinguish the colors in the photos. For anyone who has seen the colors in person, would it be fair to say that the Le Mans blue is a bit more 'electric' - slightly brighter and punchier?

Here is the Montego Blue thread. In some photos, the colors seem indestingishable

Congrats on the order!

I was going to change my color to LeMans Blue but I drove about 50 miles just to see it in person, and I'm glad I did.

It was a bit too purplish for my taste. Its a deep blue and to me, it has that slight purplish hue to it.
Don't get me wrong, its a great color and you may love it. I liked it in the pics around the forum better than in person. If I were you, I would find a BMW with the same color and see for yourself.

Again, LeMans is a great color and I'm not trying to offend any LeMans owners. Just a too purplish for my eye...
