BMW G12 730Li in Individual Mexico or Miami Blue?

We do not see many loud colours on the G11/G12 but here is one in what I think is Individual Mexico Blue but happy to be corrected!

The chap in the video says it is Miami Blue but I am not so sure.

Seems a lot like Miami blue.
Here are my calipers in the same color code M5C

Love the calipers in that color but not the car. Much prefer dark blues on the 7.

I agree. That color would be more suitable
On an exotic car.

Looks like Miami blue to me rather than Mexico blue, I think those kind of blues need the black gloss trim rather than chrome trim.

I personally like these types of colors even for larger vehicles like this.

While I like the color hue of Mexico Blue, I perfer metallic colors over solid colors (I also like the color shifting in the shade versus light), so for me it would probably be something like Atlantis Metallic.

Since I already have a G12 B7 on order in Twilight Purple, I can't choose that one, but it would certainly be a choice if I could pick again.

Other colors, I would think of for the G12: Pure Metal Silver, Velvet Blue, or Galvanic Gold Metallic. Moroccan Blue, Verdant, and Sequin Blue from Bentley would also be ones I'd choose, at least for me.
