Harold: Thanks for all the direct linking. I wasn't sure how to do it with Photobucket.

Very similar to Silverstone II. Anyone seen Blue Water and SSII next to each other?

[Maine1]

Thanks for the pictures. From the look of things blue water 1's are going to be a rarity out there (and that's the way I like it!)

[linus]

I'm really liking this colour. Need to see it in person.

Yes, I'd love to see this color in person too. I'm an Arctic Metallic fan (my dealer thinks I'm crazy...whatever). I wonder if this is close?

Yes, at BMW Welt. Blue Water is more blue, and a touch lighter. SSII has a slightly darker blue touch mixed in with the silver, from how it looks to me, and is more silver overall.

I'm not sure which I like better, I generally really like this sort of silver/blue.

Thanks!

It's actually very different from Artcitc Metallic. Arctic Metallic to me looks like a much lighter version of SS2 with some green mixed in.

Blue Water is more blue, and perhaps a TOUCH darker.

This color looks amazing! Would definitely attract the ladies since it's a chick color. But hey I wouldn't mind!!

[Maine1]

I know what you mean. I was thinking of that as I went back and forth and ultimately went with this color. Like the alpine white, I like the way the light blue contrasts with the dark grill color.

[ptack]

Not that it's not nice looking, but chick color is exactly what I thought. I wonder if that's intentional or just a US view.

[Maine1]

Just 2 more weeks to go! I'm getting anxious to take her out for a ride up the coast. I still haven't seen any other 1 series around other than the dealers.

[professor]

sorry if this exists somewhere on the forum, but has anyone got a picture of bluewater with carbon fiber bits on?

[swiftss13]

Has anyone seen a Blue Water with Terra Cotta interior yet? I am thinking about this combo but would like to see some pictures of it.

Cool. Mine went on the boat 6/12 and is supposed to be in Colorado by 7/10. So, this time next month I should be rolling in it.

Seems like a long way away frankly,

Got mine a week ago. I went through the White Mountains this weekend. What a great ride. The weather was crappy so no good pictures yet, but I'll work on it. Outside a restaurant in North Conway a couple of guys were standing in front of it checking it out as we walked out. They said "Nice car, I bet that one goes". I said "Oh Yeah". I've been getting a lot of double takes. It's been fun to see the reactions.

[wrx4sale]

maine,
how do you like the color? how are the reactions? My blue water/savanna should be here 2 weeks from tomorrow:biggrin: please get a few photos up as soon as possible, I have been looking at the same blue water pics for months, it's hard to obsess without having new material:wub:

Did you take the Kang (Kancamangus)? Or Bear Notch Road? Those are a couple of my favorites, as long as you don't get a string of campers in front of you. Even so, in these cars it would be a snap to pass a long string of them.
