Monte Carlo Blue is the one I would want. That's the color of the F10 M5 I posted above. It will be an M5 color so if I got a 550i M-Sport in Monte Carlo Blue it would look a lot like an M5.

I completely agree with you on the price I'd be willing to pay to get the color I want. For $2,500 - 3,000, okay, fine, but more than that I'd feel I'm doing something silly. BTW, at a BMW San Diego Car Club event yesterday (Saturday), one of the members showed up with his brand-new 335is that had just arrived in CA following his European Delivery program. His car was in Le Mans Blue; what a STUNNING color. That's it, I want this color on my 535i for sure. Monte Carlo Blue is pretty nice, but it's just a little on the lighter, "Crayola" side. But if that color was available as a no-cost option on a 535i with the M-Sport package, I'd be thrilled.
Okay Batman, Riddle Me This: Why not spring for an M5 so you can get the M-Sport look in the real-deal, in the color you like ? For me, it's a $30,000 premium over a 535i with the $5,500 special order color charge, but for you, on a 550i/M5 comparison, it's "only" about $24,000. I could afford it, but to be honest, I simply don't need 500+ horsepower, or even the HP of a 550i. Nor do I want to be shelling out $2,500 for new tires every 15,000 miles or so. But you're Batman !
