What colour is this?

[JazzMan]

I bought this M5 difuser off eBay for a project, I really like the colour but have no idea what it is - can anyone help? :)

Looks like Interlagos Blue.

Edit: Does the guy you bought it off not know? It may not even be a standard colour if he's done some modding etc..

[M_Hunter]

are they E60 parts?

[JazzMan]

It's off an E39, thought it might be mystic but im not sure. I've asked the seller but not had an answer yet :)

[phat///M3]

Could be lemans blue?

[Kin Mak]

Standard Blues are Lemans and Avus Blue. I am pretty sure it is not Avus as I have that on my car. LeMans Blue then?

[Chaos]

Aye pretyy sure it's not Avus, unless those photos are dodgy :p. Doesn't quite look bright enough for LMB, but unless it's been custom sprayed then an E39 shouldn't be Interlagos - hence my question really.

[cableguy]

Almost certain that its Le Mans Blue. ;)

Avus blue is slightly lighter than that so pretty sure it's LMsB

[Kin Mak]

This is what Avus Blue looks like in the sunlight. Looks almost turquoise. :rolleyes:

that car is soooooo green :p ROFL

[Chaos]

This is what Avus Blue looks like in the sunlight. Looks almost turquoise. :rolleyes:
I think everyone has already unanimously agreed that it isn't Avus. ;)

[phat///M3]

Like I said before I think its lemans unless its a non M5 colour, its just the lighting conditions that make it look lighter than lemans and the fact that it is a small part and close up pics doesnt help either.

Looks like topaz Blue to me

[M_Hunter]

Looks like topaz Blue to me

you just opened a big can 0 worms dude

Just trying to hammer the point with pic whoring. :D

[BigFas]

It's green

[Auryn]

Personally id say its Estoril! no way is it interlagos its way too light. could possibly be LeMans but needs a better pic.

Why not take it to BMW & ask them??? :)

Sounds like an idea, they might have colour swatches I can hold up to it :)

[JazzMan]

I'm pretty sure its LeMans blue, take a look at this stunning M5:

This pic seems to show the same dark to light colour transition close up:

and here round the door frame:

It goes quite dark as the light reduces.

[Sphinx]

may not be neither as although its an M5 diffuser, it may have been fitted to a sport bumper as part of a quad exhaust upgrade.

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiich takes us all the way back to the start... :p

Good idea about taking it in to a friendly dealer, 2 minutes with a bodyshop guy should get you an answer if the seller doesn't reply.
