BMW offers 13 types of blue, including Deep Sea Blue, Midnight Blue, Imperial Blue, Estoril Blue, Abu Dhabi Blue, Long Beach Blue, Mediterranean Blue, Tanzanite Blue, Monte Carlo Blue, Alpina Blue, Marina Bay Blue, Atlantis Blue, and San Marino Blue. Taking the BMW X1 as an example, it is a compact SUV under BMW, powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum torque of 220 Nm. In terms of body dimensions, the BMW X1 measures 4565mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1620mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm.
As a long-time car enthusiast, I've followed BMW's various blues over the years. From a historical perspective, the classic Estoril Blue debuted in the 1990s on the M3, showcasing a sporty blue charm. Among modern options, Portimao Blue is used on the 1 Series and 3 Series—bright and eye-catching on the road. For a deeper shade, there's Tanzanite Blue, often seen on the 5 Series, a purple-tinted blue that sparkles under night lights. BMW also offers bespoke customizations like San Marino Blue, resembling the deep blue of the Mediterranean—rare and premium. Additionally, Phytonic Blue is popular on the electric i-series, offering a refreshing vibe. All told, BMW's lineup features over a dozen blues, with each generation tweaking its color palette. It's best to test-drive and match before choosing—darker blues require more frequent washes but exude stronger presence.
