We BMW enthusiasts tend to notice the launch-color versions of these cars because we're watching for them / seeing BMWs all the time. Some of your perception that the launch colors are common may be a function of where you live. Big metropolitan areas tend to have more M3/M4s in general (more concentrated income in populated areas). Smaller cities/towns and rural areas that have less concentrated income will have fewer M3/4s and hence, less chance to see ANY of these cars (including the launch colors!) I almost NEVER see a Yas Marina Blue or Austin Yellow M3/4 in the flesh!
