Hello all...please post up pics of your Phytonic Blue X3 M40i.

Waiting for my order ( https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1563513 )

Would like to see photos of yours as well as hear you thoughts on the color now that you have lived with it.

Jeeesus...

Not an X3 but it is a Phytonic X4 M40i... Love the color. Just beware that there is no touch-up paint available through the dealer at this point.

You can get touch up paint elsewhere like Dr Color chip code CM1

Your paint/wheel color combo reminds me of the Subara WRX STi. Since I'm in Colorado, and there are more Subarus than humans...I see my fair share of the blue w/ gold wheels. Looks good, though!

The wheels are very polarizing either people love them or hate them. I was going for a more subtle color but they came out pretty flashy which I'm fine with. I think the contrast gives my M40i character and sets it apart from the others I've seen around. I won't be doing anything crazy on my X5 since it's black but I have enjoyed my X3. I still get compliments on the wheels daily and the occasional weird looks. They're intended to be more of a bronze than gold as seen below.

Reminds me of the classic Subaru Impreza look, somehow the Subaru always got away with it!

Well, "genuine BMW" phytonicblau touch-up paint is often available via ebay (ships from Germany). They're called "paint pens", but they look like vials to me.

Ah, the close-up makes a ton of difference. Very bronze, and that's 100x better than straight-up gold. Very nice.

Thanks, the lighting always makes them look different in pictures. I think the straight on one is mostly accurate. I almost went with a copper but it was really dull.

Yes!

Picked up my M40i in April, other than an issue with a Passenger Restraint Malfunction (that took an escalation to BMW Germany) I love it. There are currently no touch up kits available from BMW NA, which is odd to me since the G05 X5 is also available in PB, so I went ahead and ordered some touch up from Dr. Colorchip and it is a perfect match.
