Calling all Blues

San Marino or LSB?? I just spotted a Laguna Seca at my local dealership, man that thing looked good.

Tanzanite, no bias here

I agree, no longer available.

You looking at 2020’s?? I was doing the same before finding my F80.

Personally I was going to go Heritage to get Velvet Blue, but SMB was a close 2nd, 3rd was LSB. I do love LSB, it’s just less rare as an M as the other two (coming from E46 before my F80).

alex2364 · 06-04-2020, 09:42 PM

As a San Marino owner my favorite is Atlantis Blue.

Only two colors available as 2020's in the "CS" model are SMB & Melbourne Red, can't do red. LSB is the Heritage which I really wasn't interested in, I've warmed to it. Only problem is the attention factor, I prefer the sleeper role.

You can’t go wrong with SMB, VB, LSB, TB or the fabled, mythic Atlantis Blue (I do love it also).

Mar48 · 06-04-2020, 11:04 PM

Oh and most of the 2020 SMBs have SS interior and I have to say it is actually an awesome color in person. Haven’t put many miles on it, but honestly not overly concerned about upkeep.

CachacoF80 · 06-04-2020, 11:20 PM

SMB of course! LSB may age worse...

Aaaaaaaaa · 06-04-2020, 11:54 PM

I've always had a soft spot for Atlantic Blue

Miami Blue probably my best blue

RoundelM3 · 06-05-2020, 07:29 AM

I prefer my Tanzanite.

+1 on Velvet. Beautiful color!

It looks good, but it's purple.

M3Fahrer · 06-05-2020, 10:05 AM

Santorini Blue... just saying that cause I love the island. Color kinda looks like YMB to me though

Not alone. It started with SMB vs LSB...

Tangent · 06-05-2020, 10:55 AM

Another totally unbiased vote for Tanzanite here.

tripberger · 06-05-2020, 02:16 PM

Here's my 2016 LSB, man I love the color but the wife hates it as its too "Loud" of a color.

Wmf80 · 06-05-2020, 02:56 PM

I have MW. Wish I got a SMB or TB. Believe those are metallic and LSB isn’t ?
@mar48 do u use a filter bc the Tanz in ur pics are about to put TB over SMB in my list.

Identical issue. I'm not big on the fueling up comments but she takes it to extremes, she's not big on "strangers". Too bad because I think it's a killer color.
