I chose brooklyn grey for my M3C. My current C7 is white with black wheels and red interior.

If i had to do it again, i would go with alpine white.

Not saying i regret brooklyn grey but i was deciding between brooklyn grey and alpine white anyway. I chose grey because i always liked that type of grey (similar to porsche's caulk or dodge's destroyer grey although lighter).

Plus when i get my C8 z06 i'm getting it in ceramic matrix grey so it'll match my M3C sorta lol.

I’ve pretty much had nothing but white cars including 2 white M3s in a row. I kinda miss the Mineral White option. Seriously considering IOMG.

BG yes, IOMG not as much. In fact I’ve been looking at all the G80s / G82s coming in to my dealer and for every batch there’s usually one IOMG and several greys / blacks / whites and usually another color like Dravit or TB2. I’ve never seen more than one IOMG come with a batch. That’s just one dealer in Arizona though. I still think over all most people will go overwhelmingly black / gray / white over the greens and blues.

Idk about IOMG but definitely grey. Because it's an incredible color. It's like the nardo grey in audi or the destroyer grey in dodge. Or porsche's caulk. It's a unique, although not that rare anymore, liked color among many.

I didn't choose that color to be rare, because these G8x's aren't rare at all but it's a color i know i won't get bored of during this lease. If i gotten black, or blue etc, it'll get boring because every car on the road are those colors.

Agreed! BG or BSM (or Dravit or TBII) were the ones I was having the hardest time choosing between aside from IOMG (which I ended up going with). This car is going to have presence regardless of the color

TR and SPY are definitely honorable mentions as well but just not my favorite colors on cars, but then again neither was green before IOMG so who knows! Really hard to go wrong.

Totally agree but to us, we know the difference. To others, people don't know the difference. People just see a sea (see a sea lol) of colors on the road and the ones most common are black, blue, silver cars etc.

So i don't think it'll be played out, even if every single G8x owner picked the same color.

Hi, I just put a deposit on an IOMG G80 without seeing the color in person, anyone lives in Michigan who would not mind showing IOMG, I will buy lunch or coffee!

I'd order the same again, Frozen Deep Grey.
It's insane the amount of attention it gets, that might be a deal breaker for some but personally I love the interaction with people.
I don't think a single outing in this car goes by without appreciation being shown, whether it's on the motorway getting thumbs ups or today when a couple asked me what colour it was as I was getting into the car.
Batmobile is by far the comment I hear most. Someone who I hadn't heard from in years sent me a TikTok link "Supercars of Glasgow" and there I am. Stretching it a little I know but it's sure getting noticed out there

I ordered my G80 with BG and IOMG was my second choice in the standard options.

If there wasnt component shortage and too much of delays with individual orders, i would have definitely gone with Mexico Blue or Twilight Purple.

I was originally going with BG until I saw a Dravit car in person. The configurator does not do it justice. The flake in the paint is crazy. It looks like 10 different shades/colors depending on the light and angle.

If I did this all over again, I'd go with Java Green. Seems to be a lot less of those than Twilight Purple.

I went with Blue Pozzi on my G83 order.
Order placed…still not in production.
Saw a picture of a G83 in Agaïsh Blue and it has given me second thoughts about maybe changing before production starts.

I have a BG and love it very much. However, SMB is just too gorgeous IMO.
