Anyone have a decent sized pic wih good resolution of a Midnight Blue Coupe? I`m struggling to see the difference between it and the Monaco Blue colour. Are the two very similar?

Also, are Xenons better than normal lights under all conditions? I`ve never driven a car at night with them. Due to old age (I`m in my thirties :rofl: ) I need better night visibility...I have a non-serious eye condition that can cause some blurring especially when I`m wearing contacts, driving in the dark can sometimes be a bit scarey through country lanes. I could just wear spectacles but I hate wearing specs. I think Xenons would at least help (blurry bright objects better than darker ones :) )
 
Xenon lights are awesome, I had them on the Z4 and not on my current SLK, hate it...never buying another car without them. They are that good.

I'm getting old too :oldman:

Halogens are crap on the Z4, but can be grately improved by raising the light buy a complete turn or two, plus Philips 80% brighter bulbs or similar.
 
Midlight blue looks nice.

I also will not buy car with no xenon headlights. Z4 is my first car with xenon. I love it.

These two pictures don't do justice to the Monaco Blue because of the lack of lighting in that picture compared to the first one. I have not seen a Midnight Blue Z4 but I have seen a Midnight Blue Porsche 911 and I thought that the color looked a bit darker than my Z4MC. :|
 
I have seen many E90 in Monaco Blue. It is darker than Midlight Blue, and closed to Sapphire Black.
 
Cheers guys, much appreciated. I can see that Monaco Blue is darker than Midnight but both look quite nice. i think Monaco looks a little nicer but it`s so hard to tell from just pictures.

Glad it`s not just me struggling with the halogens
 
My preference between the two would be Monaco blue. It can look stunning when clean in sunny conditions.

Agree about xenons too - wouldn't want to be without them now, though they do vary significantly from car to car. The z4 is the first time I've had bi-xenons though - very good :)
