So about to pick up my 530iX this weekend and the color is Mediterranean Blue Metallic with Beige Interior and sportline trim

Anyone have experience with this color if it looks good or not and should I see if I can get the chrome bits or wrap the black sportline bits with chrome as the contrast I think looks better

Also was thinking instead of chrome if I got the black grill would it look better
Very ifffy about the color and not sure if I should have gotten it

Anyone have any pics / opinions

Again this is a Non MSport I've seen this color on MSport and it looks nice was just wondering would it look the same on non M Sport

Thanks

It is a nice blue IMHO and probably the most common blue I see for 5 series.

I went with the Imperial Blue Metallic to be a bit different, but I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Thanks for the input, I never see Med blue here where I live it's always either black/silver/white but hopefully it's nice any idea if it would look better with the black grille instead of chrome

I personally love the Med Blue, I think it's a great color. No reason to second guess. Personal preference for me is have all the trims bits in black rather than chrome as I think that really makes it pop but it really depends on the look you're going for

The only thing I would need to black out would be the front grill but it's for the wife and she likes chrome much more however I can't find and chrome parts, the only part I would need is the fog light eyebrow, there's many for the m sport but none for the non m sport standard bumper

She pretty much wants it to look like the luxury line, the only reason I got sportline was because of the insane lease I got on it

I'm going to link the thread that shows different G30s in Mediterranean Blue so you can browse it. I'll attach a picture of a non M Sport in Mediterranean Blue.

Also, if you search 'Mediterranean Blue' in the the G30 section, you'll see many threads with people posting pictures of their cars so lots of resources here for you!

Sport line does come with chrome grille already.

I meant the actual grill not the surrounding chrome

You should be able to order those parts from the dealer and if not there are a slew of junk yards with G30s that I’m sure you can get even cheaper.

I got Med blue and I love it. Initially I was hesitating because every picture I saw made it look different. Bottom line.... in low light or shade it's dark almost like imperial blue, but in the sun the metallic flakes almost make certain sections look purple, but that's kinda rare so I'm glad because I didnt want a purple car. You guys won't be disappointed.

Yeah when looking at pictures I wanted the chrome bumper cover but seeing both in real life sportline looks much much better in my opinion
