I did Fire Orange, my next will be Java Green or IoMG (depending on how common it is).

I’m happy with my Alpine White. My next one will be either Frozen Dark Grey or San Marino Blue.

I went with santorini (I like the connection that it's a historic bmw color). But some days I wish I went with signal green, pure blue or Mexico blue.

I'd also be curious if BMW would approve ultra violet purple (991.1 gt3 color).

As you could probably tell, I have a hard time with picking colors.

I was going to order the IOM green, but then I found a BG on the lot that I bought. No regrets. However, on my drive last week I saw an F82 in black and thought just how perfect that looks... so if I were to order a new one today, it would likely be BSM, although honestly I'd prefer Jet Black. My 540i is BSM and doesn't have the depth that the non-metallic black does.

Neither are easy to keep clean. So far, the BG is quite good at hiding dirt (not that it gets that dirty).

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve decided to change to IOMG, and use the price difference from DG toward Driving Asst Pro package.

I was an IOMG fan but I got to see it in real life before the dealer pushed my allocation through. I ended up with BG because of the attention level of the green vehicle. If I had to do it again, I'd pay extra for the dravit. I got to see dravit and BSM in real life as well and i wanted a unique color (black grey white is so common)

I'm going with Portimao.

I'm not willing to take the 5 month production delay and massive additional cost of what I really want, so if I did this again (after winning the lottery) then it'd be Santorini
Scratch that. Turns out the dealership was wrong, and Santorini was approved for $4900 CAD and delivery this year, not a 5 month delay after all. If that ends up back off the table, Portimao blue.

I really think the styling is just so polarizing along with the color it just attracts attention because it's different.
That is why I am on the fence with IOMG. I love the color, but I want to blend in with a daily. I always go white for DD, but can’t with grilles, so Dravit is probably my choice since I have a black 1M. TB2, PB are also under consideration.

Same color options I have now IOMG/KO. Ignore the build configurator on bmwusa for an accurate representation of these two colors together. Couldn't be further from their true colors in person.

Yeah honesty if you want to blend in then IOMG green probably isn't the color to choose. There are many excellent colors to choose from and I'm sure you'll find a good one! Good luck!

I still might get it and just put my roof rack on and not wash it for a couple months, that might let it blend in a bit.

Such a great color and a standard color as well.

Are Laguna Seca Blue and Lemans Blue still available via the individual program? Either one would look great and be rare.

No. A few people have tried requesting Laguna but have been denied. Speculation is BMW are reserving it for a special edition or perhaps a CS.

frankiebones was denied for Yas a couple of times early on. Probably still aren't allowing it but with switch over to 2022 it might be worth trying again.

Yas would be great. Lemans is awesome also and underrated just not as much brightness and pop.
