I saw it in person today and it was a darker shade than all the pics I see. I thought it looked way better than pics. First photo here should be fairly color/tone correct and the others aren't far behind.

Official BROOKLYN GREY G80 M3 / G82 M4 Thread
When the first spy pics of the M4 surfaced in Brooklyn Grey (C4P), I thought it looked pretty close to Nardo Grey (P6K/7). I received the HEA in C4P and happened to have an M5 in P6K!
First things... The G82 is an ANI///MAL. It's composed as you would expect at speed, and then some. Apex speeds at your local track will be higher. The brake and steering wheel feedback is phenomenal. The seats (non-bucket) fit me like a glove and were comfortable. This is the fifth generation M3/ M4 I am selling. I know to expect more performance with each new evolution, but how much more creates the anticipation. I'm not going to repeat what has already been discussed. As a long-time M enthusiast, I will share now that the wait is over; my grin after that first drive was bigger than the new grilles. I had a close look at C4P (2nd photo), and the way the sunlight hit the metallic paint actually reminded me of Hockenheim Silver. The team corralled all the pretty horses for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

say what you want about BMW, but what they offer the costumer in aspect of colour choice on this generation of M3/M4 is just spectacular!
You want decent? Black, White, Grey You want loud? Sao Paolo Yellow, Torono Red You want a wonderful looking colour? IOMG, Tansanite Blue, Portimao Blue I mean who the hell offers that much for that fair amount of price ? Thank you BMW (even though I have bloody headache of deciding which colour to pick!) |

I just got back from my local dealership seeing an M4 comp in Brooklyn and BSM. The car is everything I've envision from the jump. F N sick.

Nice shots! Saw a BK Gray today at a nearby dealer. Not the best pics, but do see some Nardo resemblance.

My local dealer had an M3 in Brooklyn- very impressed with the car but not the color. Said they would offer a test drive after 3/9. Turned out that they also had an M3 Comp that had just arrived in Oxide Gray- much more impressive color- although IOMG will be my first choice for an AWD version.

Official BROOKLYN GREY G80 M3 / G82 M4 Thread
We've had this car for 1 week to get us started on the Eventuri and Evaero development until we pick our car on the 13th.
Would be rude not to get some content on it! We have just filmed a driving video at the UK press day which will go live tomorrow at 11.01pm UK time so watch out for that. |

I really need to see this color in the real. On most pictures / video's i really like the color, but especially on some of the outdoor-rainy-day-no-sunshine pictures i really do NOT like the color. Really curious how it looks in the flesh.

So...I've been watching all the videos...reading all the recently released reviews...and all I can say is...I think the 2021 G80 M3 is a beautiful machine. I truly don't care if anyone else doesn't like the grill. I've got my order locked in and will have my "Grey Ghost" in hand by mid-July at the latest.

I saw the color in real life for the first time today at my local dealer. Let me say--it is EVEN BETTER in real life than in the pictures. I knew I liked the color (I have an M3 Competition "on the boat" headed my way in Brooklyn Grey with Tartufo Interior) but I had no idea how much MORE I would like it in person. It is a great color, hands down. I really liked how much the black side skirts/trim contrasts with the body color. I didn't expect to notice the contrast that much in real life but I did (in a good way). I opted to delete the extended shadow line trim on mine, though, because I wanted a painted deck lid spoiler and mirrors. After seeing it in person I am glad I did so they won't stand out as much.

I have what I would consider a bad eye for color combinations. I love the Brooklyn grey and I love the yas marina blue interior. I feel that this combination would go together like toothpaste and orange juice. Can someone pleeeeeease disagree with me?

After watching Rory Reid's AutoTrader video with that amazing BG G80, I'm sold. The only thing at this point that could change my mind is skyscraper grey when it eventually appears. Tartufo interior if going standard seats.
I also like Dravit but already have a dark graphite X3M. I also like tanzanite blue but already have that in M340i (which will get replaced by G80) and I want something different. Black is great but not unique enough, and the brighter colors IOMG, TR, PB aren't my flavor. |

I go back and forth on the exterior color by the minute, currently really liking BG. My wife wants me to get BG with Yas interior... I'm not sure how I feel about the combo either - something I need to see in person.

Oh true I didn't think of oxide ! I initially thought it could be skyscraper (which of course would be awesome to see once, I think beside the M Episode there is not one picture of it...)

I came to this thread to see if anyone was curious about the color of the M3 in that video review.
I think it's Oxide, as you can sort of see a hint of brown/gold. I was getting excited that it might be Skyscraper. I just want Space Gray back, please. |
