Not a very good review but would you say offers a good real life representation of the Misano Blue, particularly around 7:50?

Thanks Jim. I am still nowhere closer to understanding what the color looks like in real life I just hope it doesn't turn out to be close to the Liquid Blue I had on my F30 because I wasn't a fan. I loved Estoril Blue though

For what it's worth, one of the Z4s I test drove was this blue. I liked it so much I ordered my m40i with that color. My wife wasn't sure she liked that color from the videos / photos and I didn't understand why. So it's all a matter of personal taste. The funny thing is, when she saw it in person, she loved it. I saw very little difference between the photos / videos and real life. I guess we all perceive things a little different.

Don’t worry about it, I am sure you will love it. Great to drive as well. The only problem I have is stones getting into the brakes; see my separate thread. Happy motoring. |

Estoril Blue is an M Sport only colour, ie you only can get it on M Sport models and about every second BMW I see on the road is Estoril Blue. Misano Blue is very much more exclusive, as was Liquid Blue, so for that reason you may prefer it as you won't see many of them on the road. Enjoy your car when it comes. Is it an M40i? Just my twopence worth. |

Great look at the frozen grey II paint scheme with the black 799M wheels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE-1VhYqx1s

Unless it's only good enough for a single treatment, £20 is by no means expensive compared to similar products. I will give it a try. Do you have the black or the anthracite top?

I have the black top. You can only coat it again after the waterproofing wears off. I garage my car so this is likely to be a long time but if the car sits outside it might be after a year or so.

Agreed - not a fan of his presentation style at all but the video does show off the color scheme well. First time I got to see what my car will look like (almost...)! I went with the frozen grey & black 799Ms but the anthracite top and cognac interior.

I believe the 800M in flat Cerium Grey would have been a perfect match for the flat grey, specially with the anthracite top. The lava red interior would have also offered the perfect contrast aesthetically IMHO. I understand that opinions and preferences differ of course. I love the frozen grey but the maintenance is just to high for me.

Having owned several soft tops, the sealants I use (303, Raggtop) never last longer than a few weeks. My cars are also always garaged and the tops never see rain more than once or twice in their entire lives as it's very dry where I live, just the weekly wash. I would be very pleasantly surprised if this lasts 3 months.
