My favorite 1-series color

Here we go again: Montego Blue. I've stated many times before that this is my ultimate favorite color on the new BMW 135i and each time I see new photos with the Montego Blue exterior color, I realize how much I like the new 135i coupe and what a great sell it will be.

Maybe one of the reasons why I keep saying that the Montego Blue is my favorite color on the 1-series is maybe because, so far, BMW has thrown at us each time the Sedona Red color, which, don't get me wrong, it's an amazing color as well, but it will still be less popular than the Montego Blue.

So, here are some new photos captured at a German BMW dealership. Look at the sparkle and depth on this blue.

The only problem is that is Le Mans Blue on a 123d (note the fog lights, indicating it is not a 135i). I love Montego Blue, but that’s definitely not it. Le Mans Blue is a close 2nd though.

Agreed… this is LeMans on a 120d or 123d. Real purdy, though.

Sorry to rain on the love fest here…I have never and will never like any blue color on any car, from the new Montego Blue 1 Series to the dreadful SMURF blue on the former M3’s….

I apreciate you input guys, but I really think that’s the Montego Blue. In the past, I’ve posted some photos with the LeMans and the blue was lighter.

But I stand corrected, it is the 123d and not the 135i.
