I'm looking at 2022, a year after AWD launches, so I'm hoping another color or two has been added by then, preferably a silver. |

All individual colors are around the $5k mark unless otherwise marked at the $1,950 price point. So even on an m5 a color that isn't normally offered will run $5k+

Anyone who has seen the San Marino Blue both gloss and Frozen on the M3 F80/F82 CS can agree that it is one of the most beautiful ///M colors. Velvet Blue is also very nice.
The new X5M has a similar Marina Bay Blue color. Of course, you can't get this color on an X3M. These new G80/G82 color selections are a scam...forcing you to buy an individual color for an extra $5k. Interlagos Blue and Lemans Blue, plus Space Gray on an E9X M3 were standard colors for $550. Isle of Mann Green is a nice British Racing Green alternative. If you need a blazing SoCal Sun to see the blue in your paint, like Carbon Black and Tanzanite Blue, that means it will be black at nigh,t which defeats the point of getting a bright color. Portimao Blue is not so great Frozen. Portimao Blue might be too light a shade of blue...darker than Estoril Blue...but not San Marino Blue. They seem to have gotten the colors right on the new M8s... Cheers |

While I don't remember seeing the 2 blues in person, they both look like they are in the ballpark of Estoril blue on the non M current cars. I suppose the tanzanite is darker, but the other 2 look pretty darn close. If I'm going to pay M money I'd like a unique color like the YMB I have now.
Estoril Portimao Tanzanite

I'm settled on IoMG. Just not sure if interior color choices. Orange interior I would need to see or maybe tartufo? Just want something other than black.
Was really easy spec ing my Superman combo. This one is not easy.

But for real, I wish BMW would just offer Imola Red. Is it too much to ask for a red M car? Toronto Red is so orangey. And to answer OP's question, I think the color palate is pretty great. Only things I would change are Imola Red instead of Toronto, and San Marino Blue instead of Portimao. Interior choices look great too. I really like Kyalami Orange and the crazy Yas Marina Blue interiors. |

Like you, I'm anxiously waiting to see this color in pics/videos and of course later on in person!

I loved SO the first time I saw it back in late June 2014. A month later I ordered mine in SO with the SO/black interior. I got delivery the following November, just before Thanksgiving. It's in my garage as I write this. |

I love the color choices.
F8x didn’t have the best at the outset in my opinion. Silverstone was nice and unique. Sakir Orange and Yas Marina...too polarizing. Same with Austin Yellow. And offering 2 whites...yawn. Only thing i wish - why not offer an M exclusive blue rather than portimao? Atlantis, Avus, Interlagos, San Marino. Something. |

IoM Green seems too close to teal for me, but I guarantee that color would get a ton of complements.
