I know I ask many questions on colors and combos as my allocation approaching (hopefully soon MY2022 M3Cx), I want to finalize my color choice when my dealer calls.
I see some cool "light blue" and orange combo out there with more high end cars like Ford GT, lambo, GT2/3 and Mclaren, etc. I wonder if this would work for the M3? Or you guys think Riviera blue (not light enough) and KO would totally clash?

I don't personally think it would work…but I'm also the type that would do Riviera with Fiona for a Superman combo so my opinion probably doesn't matter.

but I would think Superman combo would be more Pure Blue and Fiona rather than Riviera ... actually I think darker blue and red combo looks nice personally , it was actually my 2nd choice for the E46 M3 but I picked PY and black instead

But if you ask me why not considering darker blue and red combo now, well I want something more "pop" and "modern" but not "loud" like Java Green or Fire Orange (though I do really like them, just a bit too "look at me" for me)

I mean any blue and red combo would be a nod to Superman essentially. Lol.

In general though you can't go wrong with any of the blues offered by BMW as they are all good in my opinion.

I think the safest best with Riviera would be black or silverstone. KO could definitely work but it would be so hard to fully judge without ever getting to see it in person first that I would lean towards the safer bet combos versus the unknowns given the expense.

Really depends on what you like. I think Riviera is too light of a blue and would vote Pure or Gentian and then match it with Fiona Red interior.

I would go for it with the KO interior. You only live once, and this would be a really unique combination. Plus, 99% of the time you are either inside or outside the car. If you tint the car, you can barely see the interior color.

I personally am thinking of doing Enzian blue on KO or Silverstone, after going through 30 other iterations. I just don't like how dirty the light colors like Silverstone look after a few years.
