Communicating/regurgitating what they have been told by BMW doesn't really require being cutting edge, it's only a press release sort of thing.

Looks like i will have to travel to London or something to see one. crazy...
I can definitely answer this for you now, you need LBB! It was actually sunny and nice this morning and the car is still pristine from the dealer prep, and the paint looks absolutely stunning! Forget this nonsense people are saying about it looking green, they need to get their eyes tested! Or at least it doesn't look like that in UK sunshine. It is more like an electric blue and it suits the car perfectly. Because I'm a bit OCD, I had to have it so the stitching matches but that's my problem

Definitely not subtle though, so fair enough if you don't want it to stand out and I understand choosing a different colour for that reason. But there is no doubt that this is a colour everyone will love in real life rather than Internet photos that don't do it justice.

The question is, are you so OCD that you would re-spray the blue brake calipers in LBB to match the bodywork ...

I have to admit I did think the similarity looked better in online photos than real life, but had to stop thinking about it before I started bashing my own head like Rain Man

Haha i would like to see LBB as i think it probably makes the car look the most exotic but will probably end up getting MG for the reasons you mention about LBB and subtlety..
