You're the first one that I've heard say that they got blue. Can't wait to see it.

I'm normally a blue car guy but just didn't think the Phytonic Blue was special enough for the M and took a big chance on Toronto Red.

Hopefully I'm wrong and it looks great on yours. And then I'll have to try not to kick myself lol.

I will take pictures and post.
I ordered it mid June and it is on the truck for delivery on Monday.
I saw the same blue on a X3 M40i and liked it. More discreet than my former f80 (Yas Marina - sold) and similar to my E46 Mystic Blue Metallic (also sold)
Toronto Red should look great too.

Great choice. I ordered the same color on my X4M. If possible, please post more pictures, especially those under normal lights. Thanks

Here are more pictures...

Black leather interior. I am sure there are tons of black interior pictures around.

Very happy with the blue...

FYI, all the pictures (in both posts) were done with iPhone 10X, as is, no color or lighting changes.

That is the best looking blue I have seen in a long time. Great choice.

JD,

There actually aren't a lot of black interior photos on the webs. Almost all are orange/black or tartufo. And I've seen one red. Please post some black interior photos as that's what I ordered too and have only found one (thanks 73whiteboy)dealer advertisement which has one. Please post a few here or on my dedicated post on the first page of this forum specifically requesting photos of the black interior. Ciao

Thanks everyone. Definitely happy with the way it came out.
Just came back from a Chicago to Milwaukee (and back) drive. No issue at all with turbo lag in sport or sport +. Just pulls and pulls. Definitely some lag in efficient...Not a problem for me since I am always in sport +, same as in the Gts. I just love hearing the exhaust in both...
I have not checked the mileage yet...
