Of course, could be a different story with a metallic paint (and Blue Water Metallic is a beautiful color - I wish it was offered on the M-Sport).
I wish it was too. I went back and forth 100 times between a Msport lemans blue/black...but the blue water/all light grey interior with moonlight top was the best in my opinion. I still have my first car...a E30 1988 325i in Cirrus Blue Metallic/Silver grey leather.
So I decided to get the light blue/light grey combo to match the E30.
Didn't care about msport when it came to the color I wanted....

Would have got a 135i convertible in blue water, but it was out of my price range. I'd have to go coupe to get a 135i. I wanted a convertible. Only.


*In terms of the Dr Colorchip: Im very skeptical about it because of the press it got in a newspaper product review. The guy showed a video and said it's a waste of money. He had a maroon Saab. The paint didn't match either. Paint matching issues are a reason I wish I just bought a Alpine White car!!!!
