Oh no way! I hope that you enjoyed your visit.
I don’t drive the M much, mostly on weekends since I work from home.

For those of you folks with Sao Paolo, how does it look in real life compared to pictures/video?

I'll be honest, these pics look SICK. I'm waiting for my allocation but I'm kind of torn between the blacked out look of BSM, or going in a different direction with Sao Paolo. But its tough for me to pull the trigger on something like Sao Paolo sight unseen, and the nearest example is at a dealership about two hours away.

The pictures in post #4 capture the color well enough as they don't have many filters. It's a bit more green when it's darker.

I will tell you this: SPY looks highlighter yellow in the pictures but I saw one in real life and it has this yellow-green hue to it that never comes through in the photos.

It actually reminded me of a Lambo color and when I first saw it I thought "that must be one of the extra-cost BMW individual colors".

Then I realized it was SPY (took me like 5 minutes of starring at it) and I couldn't believe it was a $0 option!

Really amazing and unique!

Saw this G82 with carbon buckets up in Paso this past weekend. It was pretty funny, saw it parked twice and on the back winery roads another time. First time seeing it up close and in person. Lighting in the town def made it look pastel Green/Yellow.

SPY looks awesome in the flesh. I get so many compliments on the color particularly with the YMB interior. I get people stopping me while driving to say great color. I was honestly a little concerned at first that the SPY/YMB combo would be too bright. But now I absolutely love it. I don't think you will regret it.

I bought it from complete hydraulics in indiana. I actually have 2 lifts. The one in my pic was ~$6k.

My other lift (also bought from the same company) was around ~$2k.

My aventador was too wide for first lift, so I had to buy another one.

If you are a car guy, you NEED lifts.

The only "gotcha" with buying lifts, is that they can't drop them off at your house unless you have a forklift. You have to work out where the shipper will drop them off.

Both times, I was able to drop them off at Truck Shipping terminals.

Next, you need to worry about how you are going to get the lifts home. If you have a truck, go to U-haul and rent a car carrier for a day and have the shipping place put the lift on the car trailer.

When you get home you can start disassembling the lift on the car trailer piece by piece. THEY ARE HEAVY.

Most parts are doable by yourself, but one side of the lift will have all the hydraulics and will weigh ~600#'s. I brought a bunch of buddies from work to help me move that part.

Saw SPY in person for the first time today. Switching my order (allocation is still a few months away) to SPY. Love non metallic colors and skittle colors. SPY looks a lot like Porsche Birch Green which is also awesome.

I didn’t see this car in this thread….

I haven't seen one in person - is it a metallic or flat yellow? Sorry, sure it's been answered a hundred times. I didn't see it on the first page or the last.

Didn't have a chance to see it in person before buying but I'm incredibly happy with the color. I've been an an endless gray rut for a while (with the F80 in Sakhir Orange being the only break out) so it's nice to have a little fun with a sports sedan.

Does BMW have a sick sense of humor?

The largest outbreak of yellow fever of the 21st century in the Americas began in 2016, with intense circulation in the southeastern states of Brazil, particularly in sylvatic environments near densely populated areas including the metropolitan region of São Paulo city (MRSP) during 2017–2018

My spy+fjord blue combo. Love it, much better than yas interior IMO the darker fjord is a better complement to the bright SPY
