Anyone in Chicago with IOMG ?

Does anyone in the Chicago area have an M3 or M4 in Isle of Man Green?

I am going through the usual color anxiety. I ordered SSG/Fiona, but IOMG is the only remaining option in my head. I haven't seen the color in person, was hoping to do so in order to make a final decision and sleep better at night.

If you are anywhere within 100mi of Chicago and don't mind me coming by to look for literally just 5 minutes, please let me know. I appreciate it!

I ordered IOMG with Fiona Red extended leather (not full), standard seats and red calipers. I visited 3 BMW dealers in the area so I can look at color swatches and interiors.

I am on a waiting list for an allocation, but I am 100% confident in my color choices.

I recommend that you go to dealers and look at swatches. Take the color swatches outside and look at them in daylight. Patrick BMW had an M4 with Fiona interior in their showroom last weekend.

Took deliver on Saturday, could not be happier with the color combination! The car is getting PPFed and ceramic coated at the moment, but should be back soon. DM me if you’re still looking to see the color in person. (I’m in the western suburbs)

Tartufo. Works incredibly well with IOMG if you want to look more refined (less sporty though.) It reminds me of the difference between a dress shoe ans a pair of Nikes.

I am in Chicago with Isle of Man over Kyalami Orange. IOMG is one of those colors that is really hard to capture in photos.
