First saw this color on the configurator and it was a big, hell no for me. Then I saw this X5MC today and was like what color is that it looks amazing? I was shocked when I saw Gentian blue on the window sticker. I'm not a fan of blues but I did a 180 and totally love this color. You really need to see this in person to appreciate it.

Thought the pics might be useful for anyone considering this color.

That's great news, anyway, back to the point of the thread....?

Very unique looking color, and I believe you that it looks even better in person. For my taste, the very bold colors are better suited for smaller cars; I suspect that paint would look amazing on an M3 or even an M2.

Saw this in the configurator and was hoping it was Porsche gentian blue. Would have looked great on the X5M. This is not my cup of tea.

Looks very similar to Riviera and Voodoo on M3 and M2 so not hard to find plenty of examples of those.

I think colors like this only suit certain models and variants. This is one of them. Choice.

That’s a very nice color, and agreed only certain models can pull it off.

Very bold color, I like it!

Looks like tanzanite blue.
Sorry to hijack the thread but this seemed like the perfect time to post. This is my old F80 in Tanzanite next to my buddy's 718 Spyder in Gentian Blue.
They are both beautiful colors with TB being the darker of the 2. Sorry I don't have any closer shots.

Drool. I would kill for a Gentian Blue Spyder.

Color looks close to my Santorini blue. I have to see it in person. Nice!
