Mediterranean Blue 528i M Sport

Worked an amazing deal on a 2015 528i xDrive M Sport. My only hesitation is the base stereo and Mediterranean Blue exterior. I was probably planning on installing Bavsound even with the premium stereo, so I've come to terms with this. Of course color is subjective but has anyone seen the Mediterranean Blue on the road? What are your thoughts? Mocha interior, which I love. The blue began growing on me in the showroom, but initially I was not crazy about it. With the body kit, it looks very nice. My first choice was graphite grey or even silver. But these are everywhere it seems, so blue does have that exclusive factor.

I plan on making a decision early today... just a last minute call for feedback!

Not a huge fan of blue but this isn't too bad, quite dark when there's a lack of light and pops in the sunlight

Will likely proceed. Deal is too good. If I could just work in a Bavsound upgrade...

My take - if you like the car, don't let the base stereo be the deal breaker.

You can spend crazy amounts of money on car audio and still come short.
This is incredibly difficult to get "just right", you can clean it up, tighten the bass and get it to be really loud, but getting the proper tonal balance and soundstaging is not an easy thing to do in the car. Then, most people will feed it mp3 or iTunes quality

Anyway, I'll stop before this turns into a rant, but that's how I see it.

5. This car oozes quality. From fit and finish to materials. Feels leagues better than the A6, GS350. Surprisingly, the only car that I feel rivals it in initial quality is the Q70.
6. I'm f*cking thrilled. I now understand the notion that once you go BMW, you don't go back.
Congrats!! Color is lookin GRRRRRRREAT!!!
