For everyone who was curious, here's my Oxygen Blue MC

My husband and I took a ride to the dealer today and my MINI had just arrived! I know a lot of people are curious about the oxygen blue, so here are some pictures. I think it's beautiful and I'm very happy I went with this color. I'm picking it up Monday and I can't wait!

Edited to add that it was raining and overcast, so I can't wait to see it in the sun.

Looks similar to Laguna Seca blue on the E46 M3.

Very lively; it reminds me too of the Laguna Seca Blue on the E46 //M3! Thank you very much for posting pictures of your MINI!

Thanks for the pics! On the first pic, it looks almost like a non-metallic R53 Electric Blue or R56 LB (which I think is the car in the background). Is that impression correct?

You're right about the car in the background being a laser blue. To me, the laser blue was brighter than the oxygen blue (which could be the metallic paint). It was also darker. Both very nice colors.

Thank you all for your good wishes!

Congrats on your new MINI!

What a fab colour, Oxy-Blue really stands out!

I wonder if MINI will ever offer Oxy-Blue for the MCS?

Guess I will just have to wait till '08 and see.:impatient

That's a more pastel shade of blue than is shown on MiniUSA's website.

I guess yours has to be the real Oxy-Blue, but I was kind of partial to the one shown on the website, which is more teal-ish. Time to reevaluate, I guess...
