What's going on with Ultramarine and Mystic Blue?

icedragon · 05-28-2005, 07:27 PM

Ok, I am a little confused. Can someone help me? Is BMW still offering the E90 in Ultramarine Blue? Or has it been cancelled and replaced with Mystic Blue? Or has it just been cancelled with no replacement?

I have two different brochures. Only one lists ultramarine (A42) but says "delayed availability." Neither brochure makes any reference to mystic blue.

Ultramarine delayed availablity is all I have in the brochure I got about 2 weeks ago.

I ordered Monaco Blue which appears to be very dark, almost black at night.
Beige leather with burl walnut. Looks very luxurious. Never heard or saw anything about other blues in brochures or from my CA. I went with blue over my first choice of the dark grey because all I see or hear about are grey ones. Thought blue might be more uncommon...

no official statement made so far. You will need to wait till about August when we will know for sure. As always, you can always get a *custom* paint job from the factory - you can get any color in the entire BMW lineup, but it will cost you 2K more for the non-standard paint.

Hi, I posted this at bimmerfest, maybe it will help:

Hi, the current issue of the German magazine Auto Bild has a test of a 330i in that color, if I'm not mistaken. I just bought the magazine and it looks nice.

You can see a picture (by the way it looks exactly like the blue in the A4 behind) here:

click on 4 bilder, then on the number 3.

I hope it will help you.

Hi there,

My wife ordered a new 325 in March with Ultramarine being selected as the colour. Within a couple of weeks our salesman contacted us stating that BMW had withdrawn "Ultramarine" from the colour range.
We eventually decided on "Sparkling Graphite" as our second choice.

Well, I will wait for Mystic Blue, especially if it looks like this:
