MBB for new 2024 40i?

biznis32 · 03-16-2023, 06:16 AM

Placing an order for a 2024 and going back and fourth between marina bay blue and tanzanite blue. I’m currently in a 2019 arctic grey and my fun car is a 2022 m4 DG. I saw the TB in person yesterday and although it looks great, it came across a little flat. I haven’t seen the MBB in person. Is it too loud and does it scream “look at me!”. Based on some of the photos I’ve seen I think mbb looks really cool but not sure I can pull the trigger. Has anyone seen it in person? Thoughts?
Thanks.

The decision has already been made for you. MBB is not an option. Now if you want to get M60i that's another story.

MBB for me. I saw both in person, TB it is too dark for me. I also don’t like the purple-ish hint in the blue.

Just curious if you place an order for the 40i which production month is estimated? Thanks p.s. Tanzanite ii is awesome

Take a look on the Phytonic Blue color as well, I got it on my 2022 and it's amazing, giving different blue levels during the day.

Wait... what? MBB is available for the M60i? I might have to go back to an X5 from an X6 if that's the case lol

Phytonic is not an option.

Yes, that was mentioned during the introduction last month and reflected in the pricing guide.

There was another thread (which I searched for and I cannot find) which highlighted an X5 with Blue Ridge Metallic with photo's.

It just struck me as an outstanding shade of metallic blue.

Not available with the MSport package though, at least in the US.

To me, the Blue Ridge Mountain looks more green in the pics… Maybe it’s the pics…

I found the thread...see below. I commented that it looked like petrol blue or gun metallic blue. Not sure I see green.

Blue Mountain Ridge is the way to go. I got that and it's so much better in person. I get genuine compliments all the time. I can always find it in a parking lot, but it doesnt scream. I honestly find myself loving it more every day. I even got stopped in a mandatory DUI checkpoint, after I blew a 0, the offiere even said.. "damn this is a nice looking car" at 0400 in the morning. Several gate guards have even asked me what the color is called because they liked it
