Thanx boys!!! Made me feel tons happier!

But, I really don't understand the difference between Montego Blue and Le Mans Blue

Here are the pics...

Montego Blue




So what's the difference do you think??

Re: BMW 123d: 201hp twin-turbo diesel - 54.3mpg

That's the same color, i think... In UK for example, only LeMans Blue exists for 3dr and 5dr versions, no Montego Blue mentioned...

BMW UK : Homepage Go to 1er's configurator...

Maybe on some other markets it's called Montego Blue, but not that i know...

I could be wrong of course.

Le mans blue is offered only with the M-Sport pack and Montego blue without the M-Sport pack...I know that for sure...but I am confused, if they are the same...why does BMW have different color codes?

Sorry, you were right... I've just checked it.

Still, i can hardly see any difference between those two, at least from your pics...

Seems unlikely as the 325d and 525d have 194bhp, unless those engines are going to be dropped for the x23d!
