Picked up two weeks ago. At shop for ceramic coating

MCM4 · 05-11-2022, 08:13 PM

Beautiful, congrats! I have had the same on order since 1/28 and it likely would have been in my garage if not for the Ukraine conflict. Alas, it sits at 112 and who knows. Supposedly week 23.

BardG · 05-11-2022, 08:13 PM

Has anyone made there choice between Skyscraper and Oxide Grey? If yes, what made you choose Skyscraper?

Thinking about it but have not decided yet. I have the quote but normally don't tint my cars.

I got lucky. Find this one in route from port without a customer order. It basically had almost all my specs I would have ordered except for seat choice (silverstone) so I jumped on it.

I currently have a I4 M50 on order and will drive this until it comes in.

this is the exact question i'm debating. thought i was locked in on skyscraper until the OG build popped up on the main page!

There are days that I wish I had picked this color...the metallic silver really pops in the sun.

I looked at it again on line, I think the Skyscraper has more depth. (But I wish I could see both person!)

Skyscraper definitely needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. No video or picture does it justice. Online, it can look relatively dull, and the BMW configurator does a horrible job depicting it. I saw a Skyscraper M4 in person last week and it looks much better than I imagined..I'm considering switching from Dravit.

That's encouraging. I like a "richer" grey rather than a darker silver if that make sense. Thanks

Indeed. Everyone, and I definitely mean EVERYONE adores the Skyscraper Grey on my F40. Pictures doesn't do this color justice.

totally agree. My SS grey M3 is a "photo" catcher, especially with the beautiful evening sunset light. I'm not used to this....but it happens that some people take a pic of it when at the traffic light or maybe when it's parked, at least here in Italy in my area. To be honest....there are some M4 here...but very few M3 at the moment in Italy.

So maybe people look at it in a different way.

Wow! I'm excited! (That is if I ever get my car, it's taking so so long&#128530

In my opinion, Skyscraper is one of the few colors that makes the new emblem look good....and the M4, with darker wheels, doesn't look like a Mustang from the side or accentuate the grill. Glad my color was changed to Skyscraper; the front end looks ominous yet understated. Other colors not so much.

After ordering in September last year, finally picked it up yesterday! Skyscraper Grey + Silverstone Full Merino Leather. Absolutely love the colour, it's very dynamic under different lighting conditions!

Picked up this M4CX yesterday. Original Week 10. Delayed about 20 days. Reza at BMW of Bellevue was perfect from original allocation (end of January) to delivery.
600 miles of fun driving back home. Although many on this forum look amazing whether just front or both and with spacers, I've decided not to lower because visiting friends return trip had a steep driveway, and the mountainous town's streets had lots of dips and had to do several 3 point turns. Found out the front sensor does NOT pick up certain parking blocks (same issue with my Tesla). That was close! Shocked to see lower lip over and past the block! Guess I'll be joining the ABI club.
Tint is June 3rd, looking for inexpensive but quality trunk cargo net, and good quality all-weather rubber mats. Easy digital phone setup, issues with garage opener, narrowing down my M1 and M2 for daily and spirited driving. Still being asked to sell it now that it's in town. I'll drive for a year then re-eval.
Oh, and I'll admit not knowing how to work the gear selector to leave dealer....then in rush hour outside Seattle, and finally figuring out reverse. Reza was prepared to go over everything, but I said "nah, trial by fire, you're busy, ciao." That first 3 point turn in the mountains with cars approaching both ways was exciting and anxious.
