Monaco Blue in Seattle Area?

[HeelnToe]

Still trying to decide on a color, and I know that photos are never quite accurate when it comes to how a car looks "in real life."

I'm considering Space Gray, Titanium Silver and Monaco Blue. I've seen the first two in person, but not the third. Anyone got a 1 in the Seattle area I can check out?

Good idea. Thanks.

Are you ordering a car? If so, you may want to act fast. Someone posted the Canadian 2010 ordering guide and one of the changes was the cancellation of Monaco Blue (replaced with Deep Sea Blue from the 5 series). That's not to say that the color won't stay available in the U.S., but I'd be surprised at this point if it did.

If you like it and want it, I'd start hunting for an '09 model on the ground, inbound, or a dealer with a modifiable production slot A.S.A.P.

There are two around here.

One looks stock and is driven by a mid 30's gentleman it looks like.

And I just NOW (20 minutes ago while driving home from work) saw another Monaco Blue 135i coming out of my work place. Younger guy, tinted windows, white angel eyes. My jaw dropped. It looks so good in person.

Beautiful beautiful color.

I posted this to the regional thread for PNW, but just to close the loop here, too, I did end up seeing the Monaco at the local dealer while prowling around last night (er, I mean looking...).

Love the Monaco, but my true love has always been Titanium Silver (owned 2 Z3s and 2 Porsches this color) and when I finally saw the 135i in that color, my mind was made up. Looks far better than in pictures.

Thanks for your help!
