Hmmm, I’m 95% sure an IRL viewing will confirm 826Ms
Exactly the same and glad to hear I'm not alone!

My F82 has the black 666Ms, which I seem to be the same/similar finish as the 826M bi-color, but I also like the contrast of 825Ms.
It'll be exorbitant, but considering getting both and putting winters on the 2nd set (vs. 18"/19" 824M winters)... in the meantime just enjoying obsessing, lol.

That would be BSM with a full Xpel Stealth wrap. Do it!

Nice! We’re on the same list, he said I’m #2 for AWD. yesterday they said orders start in July arriving in October since it’s a 2022 model... hopefully it’s sooner though.

After test drive they said July production for AWD models (I assume Sept.-ish delivery?), then emailed saying "they're likely getting two allocated in July, one was spoken for but the other was available", hence deposit. I was assuming July delivery, but maybe wishful thinking on my part... will need to clarify.

Congrats tho, very cool to meet another AW 6MT and "#1 of 2" AWD G80!

carbon exterior package is a must, and I think especially in BSM. Like that it's too much black, the diffusor looks crap in black gloss with BSM (my opinion).

Sadly, at almost $5000 USD. I'm gonna pass when I order my AWD M3 Comp. Just not worth it when some third party will come along and blow BMW OEM out of the water price wise.

Since it's my first M Car i'm not really familiar with Aftermarket...So i ticked the box for the CF exterior pack :-)

But I bet there will be plenty around you can fit aftermarket !

I for myself know it from the past...I would regret if I don't pick it, so i pick it OEM

My other problem is with the competition package. They use piano black on the shift level control area. Which annoys me that I want the carbon fiber interior package but it just makes those controls stand out.

So I might not get interior carbon fiber package either...I might go piano black.

Same with the MT i'm affraid I did option the interior carbon trim but around the shift know there is a area in piano black...I guess because of the buttons.

I didn’t want dirty finger prints sticking out on the piano black so I ticked Cf.

Its the problem with the lower black skirting around the car as well. It is, without a doubt, going to look like shit in no time.

I just saw on a YT Video that on the Manual it's not Piano Black but just "normal" plastic around the gear know and the buttons.

Ok for me

I saw it in person thursday night, although didn’t get pictures I was just in awe. I think the Cf adds something to the steering and overall interior. The piano black does look super classy but my car is already black on black on black. So I figured it would add a little something to distract the eye.

I've never considered the black color, it's always a nice option but never the best... until now. Today I saw an M3 and M4 in black at the dealer and I was shocked This color fits the shape of these cars so well that I totally changed my mind about black. They look really mean in black, if I saw them in the rear view mirror I would immediately move to the right lane!
However, the glossy black parts (spoiler, diffuser etc) really don't match the metallic black body paint, the carbon pack is mandatory in my opinion.
And the red calipers are a must as well.
At the moment I couldn't choose between BSM and IOMG.

Damn, black is both my favorite and least favorite color. It looks menacing but it's so hard to keep clean and really changes depending on light. I'm still deciding among 5 colors, idk how people choose so easily, lol.
