Thinking Black or Silverstone might be better but maybe they are showing off the interior colour on purpose

Those colors do work together. But every day? I appreciate BMW wanting in your face colors on the G9x to make it more "super car", but my main selling point for this vs, e.g. a Jag F-Type is the every day driveability. I still commute. And part of that is the color combo I want to see when I walk out to it and sit in it for hours. So far the best combo of flash with function I've seen has been the Kith, but without all the extra logos.

only for Halloween then!
Well I'm not holding my breath to see what crazy interior can be paired with Sao Paolo Yellow? Maybe oyster or ivory white and it will have a banana vibe ha

They had these green spot lights that didn't help their cause. I think that color would likely look a lot more pleasant in regular light or outdoors, but I also had a Techno Violet, Estoril, Laguna Seca and now Sakhir Orange M3/M4's, so I may be biased.
Another thing I noticed was that the instrument panel was from an X3. The guy reluctantly admitted this car is actually a preproduction example.

Oxford green with cinnamon leather was a killer combo on the E46. If that green is a little darker with blacker tones, and the interior is not as orange as those pics appear, it could be great.

But bright green on orange sounds like trash.

Aren’t they all at this point? Most videos I’ve watched on the G80/G82 had this same issue and all were pre-production.

How "orange" is the interior actually in real life, to your eyes? Is it straight up orange, or could it pass as a bright cognac type of color (with brown undertones).

That really is a true orange. Personally I prefer the burnt orange aka sakhir orange, but it's good the option is there for those who love it.

It was a bright pumpkin orange, and a bit much. The photos are pretty true to the actual color.
The metallic green exterior color, however, was much darker once those hideous green lights were turned off after the reveal.
Another thing worth mentioning is that I was told both M3 and M4 base will only come with a manual transmission. The 8-speed automatic transmission (like the model I saw), will only be available in the Competition sub model. Maybe you guys already knew this, but I didn't so no need for a post telling me I should😅

Cheers!
