2017 M2 Manual

I'd have to see the Atlantis blue in person. From an image search it sometimes looks greenish, like a lot of early 90's Hondas and Acuras, and sometimes it looks like a color-shifting blue.

I feel like I've read about this guy / story before. The violets are great - I believe Daytona Violet is doable, but Techno Violet is a no go.

Wow.

BMW did screw up the color but handled it pretty well. The crying about leather stitching is a seriously over the top, especially given than the offered a workable solution.

Dude wanted BMW to restart the production lines for my leather stitching.

It doesn't help that there is also an Atlanta blue, and I don't trust people or search engines enough to have reliably distinguished amongst the three.

Oops. I think THAT was the other Z3 blue...

Speaking of special order colors, dig the premium asking price on this M4:

Edit: Wow, another, and more affordable premium.

(The white interior is gross, though.).

Edit again: This is a fun game. A minty one.

This one is basically Miami Blue, no?

That's interesting. I like both of them and the only time I saw a Daytona car next to a Techno car, I had a hard time telling the difference.
