FRANKFURT MOTOR SHOW: Maybe The 2012 BMW M5's Color Isn't Blue

BMW M is known for offering exclusive colors and options for its limited edition M cars. There are special option packages and usually there are a handful of exterior and interior colors on the palette that aren't exactly the "norm."

And with the M cars usually there are several bright blues that are just to die for. For example, the E39 M5 was known for Le Mans Blue and Avus Blue with its two-tone interior. I thought the F10 would be more of the same since we've largely seen a blue show car.

Then this white one popped up at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show and it appears to have taken the blue car's thunder!

Look at that blood red interior! It just has more "juice" than that now plain-looking 5-Series.

What say you, Spies?

Doesn't matter! The only color that matters is GREEN! What it will make lots of!! AND, what other car makers will be seen colored with! :)

Yeah, I'm already sick of the blue. Make mine black or white, coin flip.

Blue is a great color. This is just a combination of strong lights and over-exposed photography.

Dark Silver/Gray is always the color.

I think the M3 LWB edition looks awesome in blue. Where's the M5?
