Do You Americans Want LeMans Blue in the States?

arllc312mjf · 05-21-2008, 12:31 AM

I'm getting this overwhelming feeling that there quite a few US LeMans Blue lovers on this site... Is there any way we can get that color in the US? For me, it's one of the most beautiful "blues" I've ever seen; in pictures only of coarse. It's funny but it happens more often than not, someone posts a Montego Blue photo (no offense to you Montego Blue owners...) and it looks georgous, then one of us Americans say... "wow, that photo is making me rethink my opinion on Montego Blue". Come to find out, in almost every single instance, that the photo turns out to be LeMans Blue and Not Montego. I see it over and over and over. So I'll put this to you Americans...

Would you like to see LeMans Blue here in the States, or don't you care?

Marty

P.S. If someone knows how to insert a 'poll', plesase set up a two option poll for 'yes' or 'no' on my question above.

Also... Does Anyone At all know how to go about making, or at least asking BMW to add or delete a color in a certain country? Is there a comment or contact button anywhere on any BMW site?

Lastly, I am going to post this thread in the section as well. It's actually more appropriate there. I am still very new to this forum... Is it frowned upon to post the same thread more than once in more than one place. Please let me know and I'll stop.

Its not as bright as Montego and not as dark as Monaco.

If Montego AND Le Mans were available, it would be a tough choice for me. Monaco is way too dark, so that's out.

Which makes it (IMHO) the perfect blue :thumbup:

zivilyn861 · 05-21-2008, 03:34 PM

I'd have gone with LeMans if it had been easily available here...

TunedM2C · 05-21-2008, 03:43 PM

Yes, it would have been my first color choice.

mrmonisimo · 05-21-2008, 03:46 PM

Montego was a bit too bright for me in person so I ordered Monaco. I'd take LeMans immediately. It's the perfect color to me.

I prefer the Montego blue myself. I'm glad we have that color here. But since you all seem to like the LeMans blue, I voted "yes" anyways...

I personally believe that U.S. Americans detest all things French, Le Mans Blue included.

I think BMW NA is retarded with the colors to conservative!!!!!! They need to be exclusive and give more choices. Like the M3s before with Yellows Blues and other colors!!! All the Bmws color choices are for old people!!!!

rcracer_tx · 05-21-2008, 06:28 PM

I know what it looks like personally, but allot of people don't. so

Art__Vandelay · 05-22-2008, 04:52 PM

Enough? :smile:

rcracer_tx · 05-22-2008, 06:25 PM

Le Mans is great, but I'd prefer Interlagos if we are dreaming...:smile:

sarafil · 05-26-2008, 08:19 PM

I would take Lemans Blue without a doubt!!!

(wouldn't do Interlagos Blue, though... I already have that and don't want the same exact color on this car)
