335 Convertible and Atlantic Blue Color?

Has anyone else noticed that the some sites show an Atlantic Blue color as a new addition effective March 2007?
I asked Irv about this and he said all the info he had shows that is not a color but he did say that the Z-3 had this color so who knows.
I see that the 645 has this color.
I want to see one in person but I ordered Montego Blue and will be looking at some Z-3's in my area to see what the Atlantic Blue looks like.

See the sticky thread at the top of this forum. Its listed in the order guide, so I think that's pretty rock solid confirmation that it will be available.

Irv Robinson sent me the offical brocure and it doesn't have Atlantic Blue nor has he heard of it being available. However it is hard to say as this is a color on the chart above that is not going to be available until March anyway.
I ordered Montego but still looking for the Atlantic Blue Z-3's around here to see what they look like...

Atlantic Blue available on coupes and convertibles starting with March '07 production dates.

Here's an indoor shot of an Atlantic Blue 6.

I know that is what I read but the brocure didn't have it. I like the color on the convertible you showed, looks good...

If I was 80, lived in Florida, and had another car to drive when I was alone, maybe I'd consider Atlantic Blue.

Different strokes for different folks. I like the color but want to see a 645 or a Z-3 in person to decide...

The E-93 U.S. brochure not only states that Atlantic Blue will be available in March 2007, it has a color swab of it in the brochure. The other new colors are Barbera Red and Platinum Bronze.

The PAPER brochure I have does not have anything about it but does have the comfort access available March 2007 thus the reason I started this thread. I read the ELECTRONIC brochure version and talked with Irv, Irv said he has not seen anything about but the ELECTRONIC version shows it.
I have time to change my color order but sure want to see something in person....

The official brochure has been out 2 weeks. The brochure clearly lists all available colors and options.

The paper brochure I have has a 2006 Germany date on it (back page, small print). Does not show Atlantic Blue, but agree appears to be a late add to option list & so should be orderable.

Am torn between Atlantic Blue and Barbera Red. Aaarrgghhh.

Barbera Red appears to be a cool color, but it is hard to visualize until you see it live. Unfortunately, only the 6 series has that color, and there are not many of those on the road.

I love blue cars...especially BMW blues, but that one's not so good for a guy.

Barbera Red is on the 7 series also. Nice dark burgundy.
