Le Mans and Estoril are my two favorite BMW blues. Great choice!

Very nice! I really like that blue! Too bad it was only available with the M-sport package or else I may have gotten it. The roads are too rough around here for the M-sport suspension, so I got Sapphire Black instead.

Well, at first, I couldn't care about it being an M Sport... I even hate the fact that I had to pay a premium for that color. But I wont drive anything other than blue...In the end, it was worth it

MI roads are also terrible!

Thanks for posting the pictures. I ordered my X1 35i in Le Mans Blue sight unseen. In northern Colorado they only sold 1 other M sport X1 so I did not get to see one until after the vehicle was ordered.

Nice color... I opted for the mineral white, but LeMans was my second choice. BTW did those little //M emblems on the front fender come as delivered or did you add them. They look nice and subtle... We did not get them on our 35i.

It's a very nice color. Its not a common color you'll see on the road but it isn't screaming for attention as well

Those came as delivered. I think those were just recently added on the M Sport models

Seriously? I have a 2014 and don't have them...seems strange that they would start doing it after the fact.

It's kind of annoying - I don't particularly care about having the badge, but it frustrates me when in the same model year exterior differences happen. Who knows what kind of petty buyer in the future might prefer one with the badge thus slightly devaluing the earlier models....sure, it sounds ridiculous, but it's possible.

I'm sure the badge is not very pricey and can be added.
