I am so curious to see other new colors of E92 (except the Space Gray). So please post the pics if you have. Thanks in advance.

I probably shouldn't admit it, but I had a 1969 blue Montego, back in the day. Sorry for the hijack.

My guess is this is Montego blue

E90Fleet · 04-22-2006, 07:23 AM

Probably this one

Id say Le Mans is darker

Le Mans is also a velvety color, this one may just be a normal metallic

climkt · 04-22-2006, 07:34 AM

Will montego blue be offered soon for e90 as part of the its blue selection of colours?

larryn · 04-22-2006, 07:34 AM

That looks almost exactly like Estoril Blue to me in both the sunny adn the rainy pics.

The other 2 new colors are both delayed

Platinum Bronze till March 2007 Production
Crimson Red till September 2006 Production

climkt · 04-22-2006, 07:38 AM

Estoril blue is a truly desirable M colour, it was my favourite colour for the e36 m3 coupe with silver grey leather bucket seats.

EnI · 04-22-2006, 07:54 AM

Yep, Montego Blue = Ultramarinblau (Ultramarine Blue). They just renamed it - for marketing purposes. Ultramarine indeed do sound a bit generic.

Here it is Z4 in Montego Blue (aka Ultramarine Blue) from BMW car configurator:

GregA, according to the paint manufacturers Montego Bue ( code A51 ) has a differenrt formulation from Ultramarine Blue (Code A42).

Mentego seems to have more blue while Ultramarine has more silver in the mix

Could be.

They were testing the car in Ultramarine Blue (spy pics). I'm 100% sure. Also the BMW E92 diecast models are ordered in that color. So ...

But where the heck is the color now if not included in order guide???
Could it be offered in non-US markets only?

I'll conntact some people who would now that - on Monday.

Estoril has got to be one of my favorite BMW colors of all time. I think this Montego blue is a bit deeper. Estoril seems lighter--more of a powder blue, in comparison. This Montego blue seems to be somewhere between the old Topaz blue and Estoril.

Sweet!!! I gues I should start convincing the wife to change the VW. That's a sweet looking blue. Wish they had that as a color palette when I ordered the 330.
