Toronto Red F97 vs Melbourne Red G80

Waterbelly · 05-24-2022, 05:16 PM

Quick pic from pickup today: swapping the TR F97 for a new Melbourne Red Metallic G80 Comp. Bright sun, so everything is popping, no filters. Pretty accurate comparison for those wondering…

Got any more pics? Would love to see how the 50th anniversary badge looks on a red car.

Vic55 · 05-24-2022, 05:59 PM

From that pic alone, I like the MR car better as its deeper/darker.

Just about all of the individual colors are worth the added cost.

Although I will say, some of the standard colors on the G8x platform may definitely end up as great individual color choices in several years, they are that good.

Looks great, more pics please.

4k is worth it all day everyday ... red is one of my fave colors and I have had quite a few variants but none via M.

With Porsche I have paid the premium for Carmine Red of Guards Red with ZERO regrets...

Carmine is so awesome though, worth every penny (or dime now, I guess).

Would love to see more pics of your Melbourne Red beast

GS1 · 02-02-2023, 10:04 AM

Hey buddy. Any chance you could post some more pics of your MR G80?

Really keen to see how it looks in such a classic colour. 👍

Studntloan · 02-02-2023, 10:09 AM

Mr is probabaly the best red on a bmw, wish it was standard on the G80

Art__Vandelay · 02-02-2023, 10:29 AM

Man, the OP is really mean. Posts a small photo where his MR G80 is not even fully visible and then does not respond to the numerous requests for more photos. But I'll try anyway: Please post more photos of your beautiful MR G80.

I have always liked Melbourne Red a lot. Maybe it wasn't exclusive enough for some, as it was also available on other models, but it's actually among the most beautiful red colors BMW (and actually other brands) had IMHO.

as7920 · 02-02-2023, 05:06 PM

One of if not the best metallic reds BMW does.

Stunning. Congrats OP. Now let’s see some more. This is the photos thread after all.
