Ordered SPY

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Anyone regret getting SPY in the long term?


From what I saw sometimes the color is very nice banana color, sometimes is shiny yellow with green in the shadow, all very nice, but in some pictures it is plain saturated bright yellow which i can't say i like.

still better than other standard colors in my opinion. almost went voodoo blue

No regrets, in a sea of black, white and gray cars SPY is a breath of fresh air . Instantly your car looks like a exotic sports car to the non informed. You look like a boss everywhere you go. Imo SPY is the YMB of this generation m cars! I would not buy another gray car bc I have a mineral gray m340i

Agreed. SPY and red colors always stand out at car meets. Always in the middle of all the boring ass colors like whites, grays, and blacks.

disregarding the eye-catching factor, how do you like the color?

Had the car since April 2021 and no regrets going with SPY. It's the car high-vis vest in blizzards.

Have had mine since February. Pretty much not a single person that's seen it in person has disliked it.

Have 0 regrets , also went with yas interior. Feel same way about that as well.

I would order SPY over those taxi cab yellow colors (Dakar and Speed Yellow) any day.

I switched from BG to SPY a few weeks ago and had the same concerns. After seeing one in person, I'm glad I made the switch. It's a special car and needs a special color.

Never was a fan of yellow cars.
The day I was picking up my BG G82, I saw a SPY G80 in the show room and oh my... it looked so good in person!
Pictures don't do the color justice.

Theres a lot of hate on black but I've been in LA for 7+months now and all I see are green, Brooklyn, alpine, and SPY. I have not run into an M3 or M4 in black in 7 months. Black just doesn't have much contrast so it looks easy on the eye.

I get a ton of compliments for going black and "hiding" the beaver face.

All in all, if you have ever had a BOLD colored car, they do get harder to walk up to every day (over time). They can "grow stale" quick but that is my opinion on the color and everyone is different. Only YOU can know what YOU want.

If you have a shred of regret after ordering....I dont think that color is right for you. If this is going to be a garage queen, it'll be easier to stay with bolder colors.
