Can I see your blue water metallic?

I placed my order a few weeks ago for Titanium Silver. My car is slated to be produced during the 21st week of the year. I picked Titanium Silver for its practicality, I also liked Space Grey. But now I am wondering about Blue Water Metallic. I like the idea that this color is not as common and probably as practical as Titanium Silver (hate getting car washed). I would love to see pics if you all have some and definitely as always appreciate your opinions.

I had a 2004 in Blue Water Metallic and loved the color. It’s one of those paint jobs that changes with varying light conditions. If I didn’t drive one for 6 years and wanted a change I’d consider it again.

I saw one in Colorado and it's really light...kind of like titanium silver, but blue... IMO it looks more like a color for a Honda than a BMW.

Saw this a few months back before I picked up my car. It's very nice; a little too feminine for me, but definitely what I would consider the feminine option to Mineral Silver. They both do such a great job complementing the car's lines.

I see the same car driving around that neighborhood a lot. I'll snap a few more pics the next time I'm around there.

It reminds me a lot of Arctic Silver but with more blue. AS also varied greatly depending on the light.

maybe unique to BMW right now (although they do offer it on a few of their cars) but its not unique around town, I see tons of powder/light blue cars and guys always look funny driving them (sorry if you have one). especially with tan leather, just a horrible combo

Its a good color for an old man or chick though.

I have a 135i in this colour, but i´m not sure it would look good on a X3...

The color does look good on that 1 Series.

Reminds me of the color of a 1974 3.0 Cs that I had - it was called Fjord Blue and was a light blue met like the Bluewater.
