To me, As I love it when I saw it in perosn on a X3M, I would go for a G80 in Donington Silver. A real modern shade of grey, it makes it really "steely" (I don't know to say it in english), real "machine", modern.....as a T1000 terminator.

Inside I have to go for another individual option. I've got the base alcantara seats on the M140i ayt the moment, and the fabric is perfect, real confy, sporty, it doesn't have the usual common problems during summer the leather has (which makes your back stuck to the seat even with a climate system for the seat...)

Probably, if it'll be possibile as an option, it'll cost me a lot but for sure, it'll be a perfect daily car, usable, great looking, different from others, and really practicle and undelicate to maintain perfect outsinde and inside, as a leather interior polishes very quickly along with the steering wheel for example.....

Off course I'll go for the AWD comp option, as I often go to the mountains both in summer and in winter.

I have to wait a bit more....july my dealer told me to have the prices for the M Xdrive version.

I'm really liking the IoM Green (would have it with Cognac leather), but with my current YMB F82 I do always stare longingly whenever I see one in Tanzanite and its deep deep bluey purpley hues. The G8x in that pic looks stunning to me and I think that might be the one for me too, probably with Silverstone leather like my current car.

It's ok but could be better, unfortunately since there is no metallic white I'm going the individual route.

Estoril


Portimao


Tanzanite
Portimao and Tanzanite are very different in person. Tanzanite generally comes across very dark, near black. The blues in it come out under very directly reflected light. Great color, but surprisingly blackish in person. Portimao is unmistakably blue all the time. Estriol is a great blue, but appears on tons and tons of non-M cars.

Frozen Dark Gray Individual I think is the best looking G80 I have seen to date, but coming from a mineral gray F80 I am not sure I can go with this option, Tanzanite II is one of my top choice, but need to see what the car looks like with it first.

I was at a dealer today and saw Portimao on a 340. Nice color. Certainly only a slight variation on estoril, but still a nice color. I wish they had a few more M only color choices. I can see how Portimao is different than the darkness that I picture Tanzanite being.
