You wouldn't believe me if I told you what I saw....

This was in the dealership today when I picked up my M3, and was also there 8 months ago when I picked up my X5. Apparently it was an internal order that has done the rounds for promotional purposes. 1. not with my money. 2. love the GC wheels. 3. Hmmmm chrome M grill...I like! And no I didn't turn the plate upside down. Also toys of questionable colour choice were: M5 in frozen burgandy-ish, M760Li in frozen grey, M3 GTS in frozen grey.

I like that colour, for me it would be a tough choice this, a purple colour they do or blue.

Nearly ordered my scirocco in a very similar colour a good few years ago. I love it but not sure I'd actually have it to live with.

I think you would get away with it on the VW.. There are quite a few in UK in that colour, not not sure on the 6.. I just think the car is too big for the colour.

Now blue mmmmmm

Agreed - GC is very large for such a loud color. Even in M-trim, it's not a sports car... it's a GT. I think these extremely loud colors work well on a high end sports car or supercar, but on a GT... ehh.

I love blue ... I currently got tanzanite which is great in the sun (don't get enough in the uk) or under LED lights.... Now I would love to have one in san marino blue just a step up from tanzanite without the sun and I think the ^GC could take it better than the green !

Speaking of loud colors. I prefer red but if I had found the right car I'd have bought Sakhir Orange M6 in a heart beat. Instead I went with the Imola red 650, plenty loud for me.
