Getting it in black means you want the new drive but not the new looks. The front-end doesn't really grab your visual attention like these vibrant colors do.
What I like most aesthetically is the overall contours of the body. Black makes it much easier for the eyes to see the bodybuild aspect as a whole rather then gaze at the radically changed front-end.

It’s so distracting I can’t judge the package and color fairly. Reminds me of this wheel/tire style. |

Wouldn't say black means you don't want the new looks?? I like black cars cause they look more aggressive and at night they look a lot cooler, but also it's low-key, I wouldn't have a loud coloured car unless I was buying a lambo. |

That's funny because if I was getting a Lambo it would definitely be in black.

Bingo, my sentiments exactly. Black is the only color I'd seriously consider for this new front end; everything else just automatically draws way too much attention to the grill.

Alles klar, Herr Kommissar? Thanks for the vid. I didn't understand 99% of it but it was a good watch. What were they saying about the seats at 6:27? It seems the carbon fiber seats have some sort of comfort function along with movable, if not active side bolsters.

He said that the seat may be tight for some people, so the BMW guy mentioned that he can adjust the side bolsters also with this seats like on most BMW seats... So yes, they are adjustable but not active bolsters. |

The shift lag on the manual F80 is the biggest flaw of the car in my opinion. 1st to 2nd is fine but 2nd to 3rd and so on, absolutely terrible lag when you shift, no matter how fast you shift. This has been brought up by some in the past but maybe downplayed as a shifting issues and no so much the car itself, but it is in fact a big problem in the f80. After driving my buddies 718S, it was very clear that this was an issue on my car, the Porsche just kept pulling hard each shift, no delay. So this is very cool to see, hopefully this can be felt during a test drive when they start coming out, but it would be awesome. |

And in general they seem to have payed attention to details for the G80 And I'm sure you can feel that on a test drive, otherwise you have to change dealer |

Not going to happen. These cars are HUGE and always will be big. Maybe a CSL version around 2025 will knock off some weight.

Found an M440 in Frozen Portimao Blue on the Canadian site. Confirmed this is Frozen Portimao Blue on a BMW M Facebook page:
"Paint finish shown: BMW Individual Special Paint Frozen Portimao Blue metallic." It's darker than I'd hoped, even in this obviously edited/direct sunlight shot.
