I’ve been eyeing the Long Beach Blue (LBB) color option for my next BMW, particularly the M3 and M2 models. I’ve heard great things about it, but I’m curious to know everyone’s experiences with this color. Is it as stunning in person as it looks in photos?

What I’m Curious About:

  • Durability: Does the color hold up well against scratches and fading?
  • Aesthetic Appeal: How does LBB compare to other blues available in the BMW lineup?
  • Resale Value: Does the color impact the resale price positively or negatively?
  • Personal Experiences: If you own a BMW in Long Beach Blue, how do you feel about it after some time?

If you have any tips, photos, or general thoughts, please share! I’d love to hear from other BMW enthusiasts about their experiences with this striking color variant!

Long Beach Blue is nice, but I still prefer the classic Alpine White. There’s just something about the contrast it offers with the aggressive lines of the BMW.
