Hmmm... does LASER translate to Lazur though?

Lasers's an acronym, so I'd say it doesn't translate. Wonder if it's anything to do with azur / blue etc.?

Exactly what I was thinking, & kinda why I put it in capitals

I was going to rubbish Chris's idea as utter madness, looking for meaning where there is none, but....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapis_lazuli

HOWEVER, this lazuli stone blue is a very bright/intense blue, and looking at schueys sig, BMWs lazurblau looks quite dark?

... arrrgh what does it matter

Cmon - look at your average paint colour chart from Dulux or the like; paint manufacturers are the masters at making up ridiculous names!

Something to do with this is my guess though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure

& no, I don't care!

I thought it was turing into quite an interesting discussion. The I stopped and thought about exactly waht it was I was getting excited about. The origins of the name of a bmw paint colour... I think I should get out more.
