the name annoys me so much I had to google it...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapper_Rocks the beaches look lovely and the water is blue .. but the color name sounds contrived.. the color itself looks close to long beach blue. .. both definitely have hints of green/aqua/turquoise. I much prefer the Marina Bay blue as a proper blue |

That donington grey is really nice, IMO. Looks close to frozen.

The formula for the new Royal Burgundy seems to be quite a bit darker than that old E39 colour As do the computer samples Chiaretto Red metallic vs Royal Burgundy Red

So I guess moonlight is a bootleg version of moonstone?
Only good colors I see here are Donington and Snapper Rocks Blue. If Marina Bay Blue is anything like Yas Marina, I'll pass. |

Marina Bay looks much closer to Estoril than Yas Marina.

Yes, I hope I'm right also. I am not a fan of Yas Marina at all.

Sir,...Ma'am! You may have any color you desire,...except Singapore or Donington Grey! That is, unless you desire an M5!
I love the "exclusive" colors! Love it!!! By the same token, I'm thinking certain Non-M 5-Series colors should be off-limit to M models!
