: : : So far we have 4 definite colors emerging. Titanium Silver, Carbon Black, Imola Red and Dakar Yellow. We won't get the blue/satin silver on the show car.

: : : I expect at least 3 more color choices. Some kind of Blue.............
: : ............................
: : 1. is avus blue the color I see on the 5 series, particularly the pics of the M5 in the recent motor trend article and pp26 and 27 of the m power brochure? If not, what is that shade of blue?

: : 2. When I was at the dealership I saw a paint strip for Atlantic blue on the paint selection wheel. Then I noticed on the inside cover of the m power brochure a light blue colored roadster, also pp20 & 21, though no paint chip for light blue exists on p 41. I have also seen a couple roadsters around town in this "color" , unless I am actually seeing titanium silver as reflected in the sunset. Is it atlantic blue, if not what is it, and does anyone think the real Atlantic blue would look good on a larger car like an e46?

: : 3. I was checking out the mulberry interior color strip on p. 41. I have never seen it for real in an m3. Has anyone seen it or does anyone have it? What did you think? I was thinking it would work well with any blue they end up offering. Does anyone know if it has sold well enough to promote continued inclusion in the interior color choice lineup?

: Mulberry was the interior color choice when you picked the Ultra Violet exterior. Nice color.


AND they refer to the M5 as avus blue in the lead article. That answers another of my questions.
