I do like this color a lot and I think it looks great with the G8x... but I am not sure if I can pull this off as a daily driver... though there are plenty of Civic coupe around here with the similar green, I see every day...

Best color I ever owned. It's easy as hell to keep looking good too. You'd need a lot of grime on it for it to start looking bad. Im sure with signal/mantis it starts showing a lot earlier. Nice being able to skip washing for a week or two if you felt lazy.
Only thing I don't like about this one is the wheels. The straight black meshes don't really tickle my fancy and those are going to be hell to clean. If you like people talking to you about your car, yelling "nice car" at you while you're sitting at a light, etc then this is a good color for you. |

I was leaning towards 825m (think either finish looks good) or, if you're cool using a wheel brush for inordinate amounts of time I'd get the bicolor 826 wheels. The latter's basically what I had on my F80. Still a pain to clean, but has more definition and at least the entire face isn't a glossy black finish that looks like brake dust brown after a day or two of driving.
If I was 20 again maybe I'd get the all black but unless I had carbon ceramics I wouldn't get those now with how much break dust all of my BMWs have generated. |

Like SPY, I love the color, but I'm not sure I could pull it off long term.

I could DEFINITELY pull this off lol and I am strongly considering it for my 2nd G80. My next G80 will presumably be my last M3 if they do away with the 6MT so I need to pick a color that stands out and that I will enjoy for the foreseeable future.
