Way nicer in person; amazing how literally everything about it looks better in person. Although one thing I noticed was the color seems darker than the impression I got from all the photographs. Still very nice though. This one has a beautiful ivory interior too. But I only focus on the butt. 😎

And by the way their waitlist is nine deep for placing an order.

Its a very rich and dark car in the right lighting conditions, no doubt. Most of my pics are in the Cali Sun or in bright conditions that pull out the metallic flakes.

As much as I loved the Portimao Blue, this car color continues to impress me.

Yes, well said. I had to look closely to see the metal flake. So, I had the "Pacific Northwest experience" of the color. LOL

Was tossing up between AR/FDG but ended up going with FDG for my G80 Comp xDrive as I didn't get to see AR in the flesh.

Maybe I'll regret it... (never having owned a frrozen colour before)

You will do just fine with FDG as that color is bad ass!!!

I do like the many faces of a metallic color too though:

I live not far from this car and seriously considered buying it to hold me over while I wait for my custom M3CX. Unfortunately the cars been affected by the Main Bearing Shell stop sale.

In this regal color, I imagine G8Xs would have flown off the lot at most dealerships.
They have flown off the lots even with stupid mark ups.

yeah, Econ 101 is truly rearing its ugly head in this regard. Now with the unique stop sale for the bearing shell, things are even worse.

I think this colour combo could potentially work? Would love to see this fjord interior? Any pics of this combo anyone? Does anyone think it won’t work at all? I got a feeling they could go well together?

Honestly I think the all black or black and white will be the only interior colors that will work with this exterior.

The orange and red will clash heavily while the fjord blue may just look strange inside 😇

Spacers are H&R 15mm square with no rubbing at all.
Do the spacers affect handling or cause more wear and tear on the suspension components in any way? It looks really good but I've never put spacers on a car before.

That is exactly what I have ended up doing for my spec. AR exterior Fjord Blue interior with blue calipers. Hopefully they go well together.

Currently the 2022 configurator shows "Aventurine red III"... I'm a bit intrigued by the III.
Can anyone confirm this is the same color?

I have spacers on 4 of my cars now and have probably installed over 35 sets thru the years with no issues.

Key points:

materials
install procedure
must be hubcentric
proper length bolts
etc

If this is met you will have no issues as the hub/axle will bear the stress as if there was never any on the car. Spacers have been used since the age of time and even Porsche use to add them on the msrp for the 911's here and there

I love the look with 15mm squared spacers:
