Favorite exterior color?

Transfer · 04-02-2021, 02:15 PM

Here is a REALLY good look at multiple colors and wheel options. This may have moved portimao blue to the front of the line for me.

I'd spec a carbon copy of this.

Is that definitely PB? I'd assume it is since the rest are all standard colors as well, but it looks a bit richer to me in that video...

I wondered that too. Looks more like the Marina Bay Blue to me.

This frozen dark gray or frozen light gray?

Took delivery of mine yesterday, and it cemented frozen dark grey as my favourite.

If anyone drops on a skyscraper (for definite) please take and post pictures...
If it has this metallic shine I'm in, don't want as "primer" light as BG and DG is too dark for me and too similar to my recently sold DBS in quantum silver.
Hoping skyscraper looks like this ....

Haha!! Make up your mind already man...Yesterday I went through that thread where you were contemplating Skyscraper gray versus all the other grays and decided then BK really will be my color from those excellent pics you posted. Yet here you are changing your mind again lol...

9153mark · 04-03-2021, 12:48 PM

It's the problem of a time window, so many options and an active man mind...

kingmonkeyjr · 04-03-2021, 01:28 PM

I really think the 825m Bicolor wheels really set these things off. Shame almost none are built with them.

I'm hoping so since that's what I ordered. I also noticed that almost all cars seem to have the 826's. Someone pointed out that it seems to be a regional thing. US press cars come spec'd with 826 whereas euro or asian markets come with 825's

My problem is I'm obsessed but won't be ready to buy until some time in 2022. That gives me a LOT of time to flip flop around and be a doofus!

You'll only be at peace with your options and choices once your order locks...and even then.

Mines on way ! About a week until it's at my door !

Yup, and even then I still reconsider things even though I can't change anything. And also double check my build sheet to make sure I ordered things correctly. "I did make sure to order the competition package didn't I??" etc. Perhaps it's a little OCD.

LOL totally. I am sure a lot of us if by some miracle could change something in our locked in build would. Human nature...amplified by the fact that this isn't a negligible amount of money.

Understood!! I won't be ready until August next year when my current lease ends. Just in time for the refreshed M3; BG for me unless new colors gets added for the refresh.

Edy67 · 04-04-2021, 03:31 AM

Having seen a Frozen Orange M4 today I am amazed this colour is not more popular.

I had planned Brooklyn Grey for my M3 until I saw the Frozen Orange.

antzcrashing · 04-04-2021, 08:55 AM

Saw it in Black Sapphire on KO the other day, looks great, but still not my preference. Reminded me of my buddy's e46 which was Black on Cinnamon.

I've been comparing PB and MBB and I think you're right.

antzcrashing · 04-06-2021, 06:13 PM

Brooklyn gray has overtaken Isle of Man Green as most popular color, not that it's a competition

opielm · 04-06-2021, 08:34 PM

Tanzanite Blue II looks so cool in person but I’m worried it can get dirty too easy. Hopefully a consumer grade nano will keep it looking clean.
