That color is beautiful.

Have the windows had extra tints? I Want to know if I need to arrange it before collecting mine?

Same here, I love space gray. Still have my space gray E90... one of several reasons I'm hesitant to sell it. I do like this gray as well, makes this car look less un-cohesive to some degree IMO... so there's that.

No offense to anyone but color reminds me of this

F85MTuNED · 02-21-2021, 01:41 PM

Yeahhhh this might be it... reminds me of my beloved domington grey..🤔

SteveChester · 02-21-2021, 01:43 PM

M3 definitely better looking than the M4 IMO.

It is one of the 'standard' individual colors on the normal 3 series as well on the G80. Same as Tanzanite Blue. About $ 1000,- extra compared to the normal metallic colors.

I think this color is really difficult to capture in pictures as it is so dependant on the lighting. Under normal outside conditions it looks a lot better than these inside pictures.

To give a better impression of this color in outside situations please look at the pictures of a normal 3 series in this color in the G20 forum : https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1739597

Agree, the color looks a lot better in the light. I'm sure those getting this color will do the mullet; classy on the outside with red interior...worst choices out there (Superman..).

Side note- how horrendous and oversized the grille looks on the G31 touring. Yes, the G80 doesn't do any favors but the normal 3'er grille is even more off-putting..still in black too

Ain't that the truth. Just wish it had the taillights of the 4.

Would've been perfect.

Always been a coupe guy, but ..

New gen M4 is too long, and minimal weal arches kills it for me.

My lease is up right when M3 LCI starts next year.

I'm surprised by how much I like this!

MidnightRiderM · 02-21-2021, 02:13 PM

It has a hint of gold, I really like it.

Dog Face Pony Soldier · 02-21-2021, 02:19 PM

Love this paint with the black wheels and trim. Sharp!

Murf · 02-21-2021, 02:26 PM

This car would look really good in the old Silverstone metallic.

Tflong24 · 02-21-2021, 02:34 PM

Seems like a positive driving review. Like the comments on ride and handling. Good to see these driving reviews instead of static display photos. I was getting worried the car didn't actually have an engine.

thatBimmerBloke · 02-21-2021, 03:01 PM

Looks great, love it! Regardless of the color, it stands out way more than the F series counterparts, in a more aggressive and premium manner, in my opinion, to each their own

I was more skeptical about the bigger size but when you compare them, the only significant size difference is G82 being ~4" longer, most probably in person the size difference won't be that noticeable on something so big, hopefully I get to see one in person soon.

junx · 02-21-2021, 03:40 PM

I believe this colour was popular on the Corolla as well for many years

seelark · 02-21-2021, 03:44 PM

Baby brother looks well 👍🏻

GFK007 · 02-21-2021, 03:58 PM

Great color. Makes the car feel a little bit more subdued which is fine in my mind, given the grille etc. Not quite as boy racerish.

That said, wonder how it pairs with KO interior??

I definitely think it comes across more premium.

floridaorange · 02-21-2021, 04:33 PM

I like it a lot - and in person the grill looks WAY better than in photos - and I hated the grill in photos....

s4awd · 02-21-2021, 04:56 PM

Is it just me or are there a shit ton of G80 photos threads to force us to like this car? It's helping but I'm almost giving up.
