Such a great color, I had 97 e36 M3 with silverstone. May order my G80 comp in this throwback color. Congrats

Here it is, not the best photos I am afraid. Taken over 15 years ago!
Beautiful I miss my father's E39 540i, even with all its problems

Amazing color, for those saying it's way too close to MBB…The original post with artificial light is making Avus appear to be much brighter than it actually appears IRL.

Brings back memories of my E39 525d Avus Blue Edition from ~2002.
Love your color combo. I'm biased as my M5 Competition is MBB with black interior and red calipers 😉

I agree, Avus is such a classic 90s blue, I love it! Certainly the shape of a large car like the X5 affects how striking the blue is, also possibly due to the contrast provided by the indicator lenses on the older cars? Looks great regardless.

Beautiful color. San Marino Blue continues to be the reigning king of all BMW shades of blue.

Since we're putting out our AVUS cars on this thread...

Only AVUS blue E31 brought to the states (should have never sold it!):

Great color (though Marina Bay Blue and San Marino Blue may be a bit more complex). My first BMW was Avus Blue.

I fully agree - I also ordered the MBB with black interior in accordance with the rule that only one thing should shout and the color in this case does the job. In addition, the black color provides great comfort with children.

Not sure I'd go as far as goofy, but I too am more used to seeing it on M sedans/coupes vs a big trucks ...

That said, given OP has Avus history, it's solid.
