After looking several pictures of BMW's Montego blue I get to the conclusion that it is very cool color under certain light conditions (such those in Harold's pics) but under other light conditions it looks dull, ¡or even purple!

I think that Le Mans is by far a more consistent colour.

i wish the US spec 135 came with all that M badging

Damn it I want factory fog lights on my 135i. It's a shame that they are not gong to be available.

Thanks for the pics! They're great!

Definitely Le Mans Blue! Looks exactly like the 123d I'd buy if I had the money...
Le Mans Blue is slightly darker and not as vivid as Montego, therefore quite sporty and less common.
I WANT ONE!!!!

I spoke the salesman of my local dealer this morning. He has confirmed that my Le Mans blue 135i has been already manufactured and is waiting for transportation. He also has told me that only 7 units of the 135i have been allocated to Spanish clients so far!!!

In a few weeks I would be able to provide you with more and better pics of this car in Le Mans blue.

Le Mans Blue FTW.

BTW, those cloth/leather seats look great! Too bad it will not be offered in the US.

Agreed, agreed, & agreed! :biggrin: Those leather/cloth seats look awesome and I bet they hold your butt in place well.

aesthetect · 11-28-2007, 03:27 AM

i'll second that. i love those seats.

TunedM2C · 11-28-2007, 12:24 PM

So this is also LeMans then correct?

IrvRobinson2 · 11-28-2007, 02:00 PM

I still think it's a Montego Blue.

here is one

LeMans ?

TunedM2C · 11-28-2007, 02:23 PM

/\ I like the deeper color of LeMans over Montego. Does anyone have pics of Monaco?

Oregon · 12-02-2007, 03:24 PM

Montego Blue really is trying to grow on me. Anyone here with a blue car and how has the color aged with you?

Devon K · 12-02-2007, 03:58 PM

+1 on the Monaco request - there are only a few shots around right now. Montego looks too loud and cheap to my eye.
