Saw a LeMans Blue in the showroom -- Wow

I ordered AW with Coral Red interior but just saw a LM Blue with Black interior in the showroom. This is one hot color in real life. For all you guys who have not ordered one, this is definitely one to consider. The actual blue is darker and richer than in the pictures. And the color has a nice contrast to the black interior. Nice!!! I would have taken this color as well.

Anyone know how close LeMans and Montego are in color? Is one darker/lighter?

Montego is a lot darker, almost black.

Please see this thread for a side-by-side. There are quite a few threads discussing the differences if you'll :.

Monaco Blue is the color that's nearly black, not Montego.

I really wish BMW would have given us the option for Le Mens Blue. I'd pay a premium for it (not a whole-respray premium though)

No that's Monaco. I looked at that in person and didn't like it at all. You're right it was almost black.

Montego is the color in my sig. Unfortunately I wasn't able to see it in person before ordering so I'm hoping it's too far off from the pics. (like how Sedona red is actually orange)
