My Fire Orange will likely be my 2nd G80 (and final 6MT ever) that I will be holding onto for the next 50 years. If I try to pull some Individual Color nonsense now I won't be taking delivery until December.

I'd probably go with the gray again this time... black wheels.

I like the brooklyn gray and toronto red. Glad they finally have a true red instead of some wannabe burgundyish orange. Also don't mind the portimao blue and tanzanite... but they really should have brought back an M exclusive blue like interlagos or san marino.

I was all about IOM green at first, but I think TB2 may be the way to go for me....

I'd really like to see the Toronto Red M3 in the wild. I don't want a white or grey M3... boring. I have a DD for that. This car needs to stand out a bit. The SP Yellow just might be a bit too over the top... i.e. highlighter! Green is intriguing too, but just not into a green car long term. In 2015 I ended up going with the Sakhir, over the Austin and loved it. In 2018 there were no allocations and we pulled a car from another dealer... the infamous YM Blue. I like it, but too light. So I think it's going to the red and Toronto definitely more of a red than we've had, and I don't mind the hint of Orange. With the black accents I think it will look quite nice. As for the front... well, I'm starting to get there with it... just SO different. Back and sides are great. Those big M3 hips still ever present . Like the wheels much better than those 666's I have now. Just had it with those geometrical nightmares... just too busy. A decent video of an X4M in TR... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j5TrFg07zM and some decent close up photos of it too... https://www.carscoops.com/2020/04/to.../#lg=1&slide=0.

I'm definitely not crazy about the color choices. I'm hoping Brooklyn Gray is a lighter gray, and not closer to Mineral Gray. I have Mineral Gray now, and it's too bland. Maybe Oxide? But, I thought I read that it will only be available on the base model, and not competition. I'm not a green-type of guy, although I think IoM is interesting. I would never do yellow - definitely not me. I like Portimao Blue - but, it has become common on M340i's. The white is nice - but, a little on the bland side. I won't get a black - no way - too high-maintenance. I wish there were a silver color - Silverstone or Hock or Space Gray. Or, a deeper red like Ferrari or Imola. I think my favorite color with BMW is Laguna Seca - love that color. |

Dravit is incredible. I have it on my current M340. But that's also why I probably won't get it on the M3. I like to change things up with each new car.

Yep, I currently have Dravit too and love it. My decision on M3 color will be driven by my brother, who currently has him name down for a G80 and is considering Dravit. If he does that he leaves me no choice but to get something else for the M3 I will get when my lease is up. Can't be too matchy matchy! I am steering him towards Sao Paolo Yellow!

I don't mind a bit of orange if it's subtle. Shakir was cool because it changed in bright sun where the orange stood out to a candy apple like red in the dark. The configurators just never did it justice and photos always vary. I'm hoping the Toronto might just be a little bit different and bold enough while not going over the top with a color like SP yellow.

Also agree with you on the Taz - way too dark. Same. Well, I won't be getting one for a while, yet. So, I'll have time to look at the colors, in person. Who knows - maybe they'll add/delete some colors. I just can't justify spending over $1,000 for a color. Can't imagine spending close to $5,000 for individual. I'd rather put that money towards other stuff. |

Hmm... as F80 Tanzanite owner this is the first pic where it looks quite nice to me. I kinda like the red color and i think IOM is really cool, a nice mix between 'loud' and classy

$5,500 based on prior models and probably delay it several months. My conern with getting an individual car is it wont get done before the AWD G8x goes into production in the summer.

The list of colors from the large .pdf from this page: https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/globa...petition-coupé list different colors.
It says about exterior colors: Customers can order their new BMW M3 Sedan and new BMW M4 Coupé in the new and exclusive exterior paint shades Sao Paulo Yellow non-metallic, Toronto Red metallic and Isle of Man Green metallic, all of which lend additional emphasis to the expressive exterior design. Also available are Alpine White non-metallic, Sapphire Black metallic, Skyscraper Grey metallic, Brooklyn Grey metallic and Portimao Blue metallic. The selection of BMW Individual paint shades offered from launch – which also includes several Frozen variants with a shimmering matt finish – bring additional variety and particularly eye-catching flourishes. Interior colors: This leather variant, like the optional fine-grain Merino full leather trim, is available in Black with accents in Anthracite, Silverstone/Black with accents in Anthracite, Kyalami Orange/Black with accents in Black and Yas Marina Blue/Black with accents in Yellow. Alternatively, customers can also opt for BMW Individual Merino leather trim with extended features and BMW Individual full leather trim in Fjord Blue/Black, Fiona Red/Black, Tartufo or Ivory White.

My issue is that I have one of the first allocations at my dealership and I won't see any of these colors in the wild before I have to make a decision.

Yes, that is risky for sure. I know you don’t like IOM but For me it’s currently a very interesting option. I love the ocean and it reminds me of the water a sunny day at a white sand tropical beach. Still not sure I’m able to live with the loudness of it though over a life cycle.
