Neptune Blue was at one time a special order exterior color. My coworker picked up a 528i - Neptune Blue / Gray a few weeks ago. I really liked the color more in person, but saw these pics tonite and will definetly order a Neptune Blue 535i in January! It looks different in all sorts of lighting. Haven't seent much of it here on the forum - what do you guys think?

I do actually quite like that. Is it a metallic or a pearlescent colour?

I'm sure i've seen a very similar colour to this on older BMW's such as the E34 5er, E30 3er?? Think i had a different name though. Steel Blue?! Bear in mind that colours in the US are sometimes named differently to the UK colours...

I quite like it as well...........quite a moody colour I think, with the right trim and wheels it could be the new Avus Blue eh, well, maybe not, but cool anyways
