Calling ALL Storm Bay Metallic Owners

Brooklyn M240i · 08-12-2021, 07:48 PM

I was wondering how everyone likes their choice of Storm Bay, compared to the other colours available. For me, In Canada, Storm Bay is the most expensive colour and the best in my opinion. I like to call this a blueish grey and that's because in the evening it's dark grey, and during the day when the sun is out my car is "blue". I was hoping so see how everyone likes their colour choice, and if they regret or don't regret choosing it? Also, I wanted to know how you would describe the colour to someone.

Example, of how my car looks dark grey and blue.

I have this color as well. No regrets. In my opinion, it's the best out there.

I also have this colour on my M235i, like FourCarss...it's the best colour. I was really surprised at the metallic flakes in the paint and how they stand out in the sunlight

I have it also. Don’t see many of them. I love it and have received numerous compliments from people who see it.

This was my second choice, however after comparing the Snapper Rocks with the Storm Bay in the showroom next to each other the blue won over by miles.
Given the right conditions the Storm Bay can be quite stunning though..

LuCanBimmer · 08-13-2021, 10:14 AM

I have the M235i GC in Storm Bay Metallic, ceramic coated. 100% the best colour for these cars.

That's true I like it most when it looks blue in my photo during the day, it's so cool bc in my eyes it "shifts" colours making it my fav. But don't get me wrong snapper rocks is also very nice.

FourCarss · 08-13-2021, 03:31 PM

Looks great during day

cbat2aus · 08-14-2021, 10:16 PM

Yes. Although if this car had come in pearl white that would’ve been my first choice.

Same! I do love the Storm Bay, and always admire it when seeing it in the wild, but in the showroom the Snapper Rocks just sang my name and I had to have it. Snapper also changes color between blue and green depending on the lighting and the angle.

So many beautiful choices in colors!

"In Canada, Storm Bay is the most expensive colour" didn't realize your color is $1450 on a 22. Then saw frozen black is $4900 gulp!

Yeah I got storm bay on my 2021 228i GC and it was 1450 but worth it…. Frozen black wasn't available but if it was I would get it without thinking twice. What do you mean by 22?

You can get their version of pearl, mineral white metallic. Much better looking than the alpine white (flat white). Mine is mineral white metallic, and i love it. Really looks good in the sun. Although it's not as "pearly" as my 2016 WRX in crystal white pearl i had a few years back.

ReallyRadams · 11-20-2021, 10:08 AM

I have alpine white, nothing more classy then a white BMW. After seeing Storm Bay, I wish I would of gotten it.

I have one. It's x drive. Not sure if that's a distinction you're making, but I did literally get one in Oct. A 2022 228i gran coupe in Skyscraper grey.
