South Africa have it up on their website already.

Does remind me of Hockenheim though IRL it looks more like Nardo from some shots. And a shade too light for me. As yiu say I think dravit is too dark so skyscraper sits nicely in the middle.
That'll be a great in-between grey

I'm also hoping when AWD will be released as a 2022 model we may get an additional color or two! And maybe even one more interior color (Ex. Fiona Red). Please BMW!!!

Yes, I'm hoping the launch of the first ever AWD M3/M4 is treated like a special event with a couple of new colors.

Looks really good. A very, very light paint that’s more special than white.

Brooklyn Grey is nice and classy, my favorite gray paint is Nardo Grey and then Frozen 🥶 Grey, and Chalk.

Finally seeing these cars 🚗 in some let's say semi-normal color paint 🎨 schemes is about time.

The whole metallic green 🤢 and fluorescent yellow we're definitely not doing these cars any justice. Big mistake by BMW's marketing department, it just emphasized the hideous kidney grills.

Best place to check first for any known LCI info is Future BMW model information next to the model's EOP date.
Why so soon for the G80? Also, what's better about the LCI?

It follows the G20 life cycle.

BG looks good on the G82, also looks good on the G80. There's no doubt the front view looks better and better as time goes by.

The lci will be minor, there wouldn't be wholesale changes within 12 months of the first deliveries being made.

There is a Stinger in their primer gray color in my neighborhood and this just looks too similar for me.

I remember in my early 20s some friends laugh at me for driving a Lexus LS400. All I remember is that thing was like a vacation every drive and to this day it's one of the best cars I ever owned.

That's what I would assume. Certainly no major aesthetic changes since it shares the look with the M4, which has a much later LCI.

In the last versions it's basically whatever it shares with the normal 3 series that's updated. Whatever it shares with the 4 series won't change.

What I can't remember is when the M4 LCI comes will the M3 change again to show those updates?
Edit: just saw the F80 did have two facelifts...

I just remember the taillights were always updated on past M3s, sometimes infotainment.

Would be funny if 3 series got the 4 series grill or if M3 changed to 3 series style grill after only 1.5 years.

So the the grill doesn't even bother me I'm still trying to get used to the side view when you look at the front or the back bumpers the wheel vents on the bumper covers push out excessively making it look like the car has tumors on the front and back from a side profile

Thought I would hate the grille but it's actually grown on me (different / aggressive). Brooklyn Gray really looks like white to me (I prefer the darker shades..wish they kept black azurite but Gun Metal II as specialty paint looks interesting).

Coming from a white car I think I'll skip Brooklyn Grey and stick with Portimao Blue, Isle of Man Green, or Toronto Red. I still want to see Brooklyn Grey in person to make the final decision though!
I think Skyscraper Grey could be a choice for you. It seems to be a tad darker than Brooklyn Grey.

For me I really like Brooklyn Grey and heavy thinking of switching from Alpine White to Brooklyn Grey started

Unfortunately bad weather and bad lighting from the dealer's showroom I was not able to get good pictures. I will visit another dealer tomorrow to see if the showroom is better.

From my point of view, this Brooklyn grey is close to a nardo grey
