Monaco Blue in Seattle Area?

Still trying to decide on a color, and I know that photos are never quite accurate when it comes to how a car looks "in real life."

I'm considering Space Gray, Titanium Silver and Monaco Blue. I've seen the first two in person, but not the third. Anyone got a 1 in the Seattle area I can check out?

Never seen one in person either. Mine is Montego Blue, and there's at least 3 others with the same color here in Seattle area. There is at least 3+ jet black ones in the area too, a several AW. I think Monaco Blue is one of the more rare ones.

I agree. I'd love to see the Monaco/Lemon one in this thread, but I'd settle for just seeing the Monaco Blue.

Well, I answered my own question tonight. After dinner, I stopped by BMW of Bellevue for a look-see. As luck would have it, they had almost one of every color of 1-series there.

In case anyone else needs to see some of these in person:

There were 1-series in Monaco Blue, Montego Blue, Titanium Silver, Space Gray, Alpine White, Jet Black and Cashmere Silver. Interiors in black, red and beige, leather and leatherette. Best part is that, at 7:30 on a Sunday evening, you get to walk around without being bothered by a pesky salesperson.

I also finally decided that Titanium Silver over Black is the way to go. At least for me.
