Deep Sea Blue Metallic
I test drove a Deep Sea Blue Metallic the other day, and in case anyone is considering the color, here are a few pics:

I have always liked the Deep Sea Blue and wanted to get it on my MSport order, but wifey does not care for it.......so........not getting it. Some you win, some you lose.

I've been thinking about this color with oyster interior and dark wood. I've not seen 35i in person. How does it look with 19" wheels, etc? I've seen the 28i in person and was not overly impressed by it's stature. Is there a big difference? I respect your opinion since you have an x5 sport (I come from 4.4 and 4.8i) and it has such a presence about it. Hoping the 35i w/ 20" wheels has a similar presence (like older ver 4.4s w/ 20" wheels).

I agree about the presence of the X5, and I think in the right color with M Sport the new X3 will hold its own. White makes it look a bit bigger which will help - but I'm okay with its size. In short, I've only seen the 369M wheels in photos like everyone else, but I can tell they will be very nice. The pictures are decieving, because 19" is a respectably large wheel.

post some more pics if you can! I am considering this color (my top choice) but my wife thinks it may be too dark of a blue (she doesn't like super dark colors). if we don't get this it will be Vermillion Red (her third straight red car)

I didn't take many, as it was just a test drive but since I had it in the garage to check out (was raining that day) I snapped a few. This one might show more for you. Also, in daylight it is lighter/brighter, so keep that in mind.
