Med Blue

Has anyone taken a delivery of med blue 5 series. Would love to see some pictures. I ordered this color without seeing it on a 5 series. Keeping my fingers crossed I ordered right color. Up in the air between Imp blue and med blue.

It will be stunning in person. Med blue is relatively rare, but the few I've seen on here make me wish I had one. Run a search, i'll bet you find what you're looking for.

Here's a few pix of my 2016 Mediterranean Blue on Oyster Nappa.

I like the appearance of it a lot (obviously cause I own it lol) and it's also differentiated vs the same old shades of black, gray, silver and white cars out there.

It changes appearance based on the amount of sunlight too.

There are more Mediterranean Blue picture threads in the show threads sections too.

Do a search and you'll find em easy enough. I looked through them before making my final choice on which CPO I would get.

I was afraid it would be to purple, seems that imperial blue shows a purple tone more. I think I ordered the better color. I currently have 535 in space grey, needed a change. thanks

It's all just personal taste. I like Imperial too and if I go G30 after my F'10, that will be high on my list.

I was disappointed in initial G30 interior/exterior color choices. And no San Marino yet either. Hope that expands over time and not just through exorbitant individual options.

Thanks...It needs a tint, a few mods and Lux line wasn't my first choice. But I got a smoking deal on it as CPO and so I'll drive it for a while and just enjoy it for what it is.

A beautiful F'10 that's luxurious, safe, fast and a bit of a looker too.

Tint will look good! what kind of mods are we talkin' here...exterior? i'd get a color matched trunk spoiler and since you're tinting the windows shadowtrim the window frame and door trim and it'll flow nicely with the tint it'll look really clean!

All good suggestions. But I don't have the mod-bug for this like I did some of my M3's or back when I had an e60 550 M Sport.

I'm actually good with the lux line trim as is or I would have kept searching for an M Sport this go around.

I came out of M235xi - which was a blast and needed something bigger for business purposes essentially. I could see someday adding an e46 vintage Z3 M Coupe or Boxster into the garage for some weekend fun.

My 550i M-Sport is Imperial Blue, a shade darker with hints of black and purple depending on the lighting. It's often mistaken for black on a cloudy day. I've never seen a Med Blue in person but it looks like a great choice!

Both colors look great, my wife was deciding factor (she is paying for this toy). She leaned toward med blue, she really liked estoli blue but I told her not available.

I agree! Both are very nice. Imperial reminds me of the almost black blue my dad's Oldsmobile Delmont 88 had..

Yah, I'm dating myself lol!
