Is Mystic Blue available in markets where Le Mans Blue is available?

espo · 02-18-2006, 09:18 PM

If I'm not mistaken, Le Mans Blue is only available in Europe on the M-sport version of the E90.. You can't get it in the states.

Just to re-clarify, what I mean is, "Is Mystic Blue available in Europe or other markets where they have Le Mans Blue?" I already know the part about not being able to get Le Mans Blue on the E90 in the U.S.

Yes, at least in UK. Not sure if this applies to all countries though.

Can't get LeMans in Canada

Yes, but :

You can only get the M Sport pack in Le-mans Blue and can only get the "normal" E90 in Mystic

Thanks, E90Fleet. I was just curious.

The potential conflict with ultramarine blue would be more interesting. My guess is that they pulled UMB, which was one of the planned original colors, when LMB was chosen for M-pack.

Im told Ultramarine blue is a much lighter color blue, and may still make a appearance

It [UMB] is much lighter, not really well suited to the E90 luxury image. Great coupe E92 color though. I would add silver grey to the E90 choices, and, sadly, nuke the Barique red for the NA markets, as the conflict with the turn signal colors and the awkward matches with some of the interiors are likely to keep demand low. I think they would have been more successful in NA with a much darker metallic burgundy. But that [color choices] is such a fickle aspect of design.

A bit off topic here, but have you all noticed that most of the BMW commercials in the USA have Euro-spec headlights!

I agree they need to add silver grey

I havent seen one Barique red on the road here. Only 2 at the factory last we were there
