Very nice ...
I have an MBB X5M ... I can hardly see a difference between San Marino & Marina Bay from these pics, so thought i would post some of mine, to see if I can tell a difference from your pics vs. mine. i see a few M4 cars around my area in san Marino, and it's a lovely colour, especially when clean and shiny the shadowline headlights look great ... i attempted a cheap version with the smoked film on mine, but have since taken it off so back to the standard LED headlights. my UK dealer tells me that shadowline headlights can't be ordered, at least yet. San Marino, Marina Bay, Long Beach, Esoteril ... Blue. BMW do blue like few other car companies.

Unpopular opinion: brightwork grilles & gills look better with SMB, especially with 809 wheels |

sorry! kind of a woodworking / boat term that's more broad than "chrome" ... basically shiny metal.
So, for example, the 809 wheels have "brightwork", i.e., not all black paint, i.e., some shiny metal that isn't chrome. I've been told only old men like chrome ... that could be true; I'd like to think I'm not in the old man category yet because I'm also told I'm immature but Anyway, I've been doing the black-out (and carbon fiber) thing since ~2007 and I guess the bloom has started to fade a bit to my eye ... For some colors black trim absolutely works for me (grey, white, black, some blues) but for others it's started to look odd / clashy (silvers, some blues, ametrin, et al). Net-net: To my eye, the 809 wheels look great on some colors with matching 'brightwork' (chrome) elsewhere on the body. I don't like it around the windows, but matching grille, gills, wheels bright looks pretty sharp with some colors. E.g., Alpina changes the brightwork depending on exterior color and I think they nailed it (matched wheels & trim). |

Gorgeous. But, it's so close to Marina Bay Blue. Why spend all that money? Yes SMB is better. But it's just SO close to a FREE color. LOL.

Looks different from MBB in person for sure (more violet in SMB I think), but in pics…they've always been the same to my eyes. For the extra $, it's just so close, but I get wanting something unique. Looks good in any case!

Love SMB.
I'm more jealous of the factory hitch on an ///M. Wish we had that option in North America. |

I think a bit more purple in SMB vs MBB. SMB is/was my favorite color but don't want another blue as our X5 is MBB.

Straight on, the colors are exactly alike and no difference can be seen. However, if you look from the side, MBB stays the same, while SMB turns purple. Amazing effect. Last edited by Erebor; 12-01-2021 at 12:13 PM.. |

But trailer brakes on this side of the pond work differently to your North American trailers. We don't have electronic brake controllers, we have a concertina drawbar - when the weight of the trailer shortens the drawbar it activates the trailer brakes.
