Interlagos Blue

I wanted Interlagos Blue like my prior 2005 E46 M3.

Here's a pic before I sold it to partially fund the X3M.

Edit: This was a special color option only available on the Competition Model.

Picked other as I would live to have a Mexico Blue version of this vehicle although I was tempted to check off British Racing Green as IMO that's an overlooked color these days by automakers.

I saw a newer regular X3 yesterday in a stunning dark red color. Not sure what it was. There appear to be no reds on the configurator for X-3s, but it looks like Flamenco Red Metallic. Kind of a deep, cherry red. Any ideas as to what that could have been? Wish that had been offered in the M lineup. I would have been all over that one color.

Perhaps it was actually a G05 in 'Ametrin Red'? In traffic they're tough to differentiate if it's a quick look.

That must have been it, but the color was brighter that it is on my monitor, & more of a cherry red in the sunlight. Thanks. Of course, it's hard to tell after the fact, but it was gorgeous. My mom has a Volvo XC60 in a gorgeous deep red & this was similar.

It's Flamenco Red Metallic. It's nothing special as it only looks red in sunlight and more burgundy anytime else. Burgundy red IMO is one of the worst colors you can put on any vehicle as it's so blah.

Malachite Green Metallic was my first choice but not at a $6500 premium. My second choice was what I got. Marina Bay Blue Metallic.
