Green with a brown interior is more of the "classy" sport in my mind. I guess one could say it is a bit more on the old man side of things but I think it would still be a great combo. It definitely won't spark any looks like the KO interior would.

I'm going with SPY and Yas to match the aggressive styling of the G80 so what do I know?!

Picked it up yesterday. Picture quality not great, but the IOMG is really an incredible color. Glad I went with the non carbon roof, only because I think it would be too much black.

do you have a side profile picture with the door shut would like to see the wheels with the paint color better

thanks

I had this idea as well, my wife said it would look like a tree.

Never thought of that

thanks I almost ordered them but couldn't imagine it so I got the bi-color wheels instead this will probably be fairly Unique combination

IOMG G80/82 with Tartufo Carbon buckets, CCB brakes & 826M dual tone wheels... will be stunning spec imo.

Henry0959 · 03-21-2021, 04:48 PM

I enjoyed the "old man" comment- I'm 71 so certainly qualify as old but I changed from the Orange after seeing Tartufo IRL in a new M5- much lighter and fresher than the pic above and more elegant than the orange IMO. And just as happy to be ordering as PCD at 71.

I swear I love this community.
From younglings to oldies there is everything here, everyone enjoying the life of "M".

Hope to see pics from your car then!

And enjoy it !!

Henry0959 · 03-22-2021, 07:18 AM

Exactly right Scorpion. This will be my 6th BMW and my 4th M car (had a 1M and an M2 and still have an 06 M5 V10 (for sale). All quite different but all fun members of the same family. Enjoyed my two non-M cars (325 and 135) just as much.

so you basically had the best BMW ever offered ! 1M is insane, the M5 V10 not to mention!

Then welcome in the world of M3/M4 now, i'm sure you will love the car!

Henry0959 · 03-22-2021, 09:31 AM

Very true- feel fortunate to have experienced the 1M- difficult choice to go to the M2 but had no regrets as it was also great fun & I wanted to try DCT. Then discovered the M5 (had only 52K miles at 12 years old & well kept) which turned out to be more fun than any of them. At least this time I got to test drive the M3 in advance (no M2 was available in 2016) and it was so impressive I started looking for a deal. Had no expectation that the car would go into production within a week but glad to see it!

Saturatedfat · 03-22-2021, 07:38 PM

Christmas came early! Weather sucks will take more pics when I get it cleaned up.

bri1042 · 03-23-2021, 07:49 AM

Loving this color every day.

Damn that looks good.

IOMG was definitely my second choice behind SPY.

Saturatedfat · 03-23-2021, 06:33 PM

Another one.

Ceramic Coated, shadowline lights

Henry0959 · 03-30-2021, 07:42 AM

My M3 just jumped from Paint booth to Quality check- once it hits the line things speed up. Now I hope it won't get stuck in quality check like a couple of folks have noted.

May be the first IOMG with Tartufo full leather

W/// · 03-30-2021, 10:40 AM

I finally figured out why I'm so drawn to IoMG. Not only do I love the shade of it, but it reminds in some lighting to a very light Laguna Green paint they offered in the 90s.

An E31 in this color is one of the BMW's that got me into cars when I was growing up:
