Is it just me or are the mufflers sticking out way too low on these cars? M4 driving up the small ramp and you can still clearly see them.

I agree pics look different which is why I recommended that you find one nearby and go check it out in person!

The G80 M3 and G82 M4 are the same width but visually the M3 appears to have wider fenders because the "extra width" is applied to a shorter area behind the rear door, whereas on the M4 the extra width is applied to a longer area due to lack of rear door. Could be also because the M3 has a more boxy shape compared to the M4.

I got shut down 3 diff ways on a Fire Orange build so I chose Toronto Red because it's the only bright and vibrant color OTHER than SPY, which is too lime green for my taste.

My next G80 will be either Fire Orange, Verde Mantis, or Yas Marina Blue.
Good choice on TR, I think it'll be a very underrated color.

Agreed ! I would be totally happy with the most bare-boned, nearly zero optioned model so as long as I check the box for the carbon buckets.

Both colours look good but that Frozen Orange is just stunning!! Would definitely pay extra for that paint!

I’m way too old to appreciate “frozen” paint, but that frozen orange on that M4 looks sweet!

Im definitely a coupe fan but for the G8x's i think id have to go with the M3 over the M4. The 3 looks so much better imo.

+1, in a few years time the frozen colours will be out, whereas the TR will always look good. Not too mention the difference in long term resale.

You changed your color????????????? What happened to the custom color?

I wish I could see TR in person somewhere to see how much orange is in it.
It's a lot of orange. I was going to order my X3 M in Toronto Red until I saw it in person. It's a far cry from a red like Imola.

Carbon pack is needed to complete aggressiveness of the front end IMO.

Just FYI - just the opposite - Frozen are currently becoming more and more popular (again). They have actually never been more popular, as previously were reserved for M cars only.

Cars look great other than front grills and the wheels. Interested to see aftermarket front end fixes and less cluttered wheel options.
