Not sure how to set up a poll off iPhone so a qualitative survey it is.

M2 is the car in question.

Is the colour a bit wannabe gangster (according to Dr Dunbar at the practice) or a unique proposition?

Would it be difficult to sell? When moving on to a different model?

Any thoughts on this peacock blue?

Looks like just the old Atlantis Blue. My mate had an E36 in that colour, looked lovely.

It's your car buy what you like, stop worrying about what others think.

I had the 2018 F90 M5 in it, loved it.

I’d be surprised if you’ve found an M2 in Snapper Rocks- unless it is a wrap or an aftermarket respray as the Leipzig plant which makes the 2 series wasn’t able to paint cars in individual colours. Are you sure it isn’t long beach blue?

Yes it is a wrap. Beneath it is sunset orangenfarben. Err guess I will walk away.

Resurrecting this thread because I'm wondering, like the OP, if Snapper Rocks Blue makes a car harder to sell. I'm looking for a Snapper Rocks Blue 4 Series coupé and I've seen a few low mileage examples at around £26k. Comparable cars in black are advertised at £28-30k.

I don't care about the future resale value from my perspective, but I consider it a definite bonus if I can get a four year old, 20k mile car for £26k instead of £30k because it's painted a colour which I happen love, but isn't universally popular.

TBH I would pay a premium for Snapper Rocks Blue, my current 4 series is that colour and it really pops in the flesh. it has been complimented a number of times by complete strangers.

I'm lookling for a 4 coupe right now, and personally I think SRB is absolutely horrific and have avoided two cars in that colour ;-)

I've always thought Snapper Rocks Blue was a really nice colour in the flesh. I think it's nicer than the Estoril Blue that was a bit more common on things like the F32. In any case, they're both nicer than white/grey/black.
