Snapper Rocks Blue Metallic is a new shade of turquoise that projects an aura of youthful vigor and intense sportiness. And also new is Sunset Orange – a bold, orangey-red color.
It currently is exclusive to it
But as history has shown, exclusivity doesn't last too long

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.

Are you basing this solely off the color palette? Regardless, I hope you're right. IMO Estroil annihilates Yas Marina.

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

The name is shit. You'd feel stupid either asking for it at the dealer or saying it to friends when they ask what colour it is and more so when they say "Right, turquoise then, why did you have to be a ponce about it?"

My guess is that Singapore, donington and marina bay are M exclusive. M colors are generally named after race tracks.

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!
