Was just there to see the M5.
It looked awfully like it was San Marino Blue not Marina Bay Blue.
No one at the pavilion could confirm 100% the colour though.

Yeah, that color does not look like MARINA BAY.

Thank you. I will be going to see this on Monday, before I need to head to work.

Marina Bay Blue is very similar to San Marino Blue.

these cars have only been seen in MBB and Donington Gray and the Frozen Red (launch edition)

The representative I spoke to just now confirmed its Marina Bay Blue. I snapped some more pictures, on another overcast day. Surfaces in direct light are blue. Surfaces that are shaded appear to have a purplish tinge to them. It looks pretty good over all.

The wheel well gaps are three fingers in front, two in rear.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. 275/35ZR20 front and 285/35ZR20 in rear.

I also managed to snap a sneaky pic of the VIN.

In addition, the X7 concept was on display. SUV's are not my thing, but the concept vehicle is quite striking. Notable highlights are the new kidney grills that touch in the middle, the interior and how the windshield merges into a glass roof (all one piece). Very neat.

Also, the advisor I spoke to said the base price is going to be around CA$115,000. I think that's around CA$10,000 greater than the F10 base price.

A few more pics:

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah I don't know, based purely on looks, there's a certain je ne sais quoi that is missing from the F90 M5 that sparks the need in me to go out and get one.

I feel like Monte Carlo Blue was also a more Polarizing color than Marina Bay Blue.

Would be interesting to see a side by side comparo between MBB and San Marino Blue too.
