Very helpful; I've been wavering between black and bi-color, and this definitely addresses my question. (Especially since the photos under different lighting make it tricky to capture accurately when the rest of the car/background is much brighter.) Thanks!

Just what every individual buyer wants to hear! LOL

Looks great op!


As someone that has an individual color, I'll admit that it stings a little bit when you hear that someone just got or will be ordering the same color. However that quickly goes away when you start to think about it overall as even some of the most popular individual colors will still be a very small population of the total G8x cars sold worldwide.

Yeah if you want a truly exclusive 1-of-1 paint job/car, head down to your local Plymouth/Bugatti dealership and prepare to write a very large check.

There are still some individual colors from BMW that will likely be a 1 of 1 for this gen. I recall there were a few on the F8x gen where only a couple were sold worldwide. Of course there is also a decent reason why…lol.

Thanks! Not too late for me to change. Black wheels do look good on some colors but they get too lost against the Gray Black or Dravit IMO.
I think that can be the case with photography but the black wheels look sick in person when they are all
Shined up!

This has been discussed before. It's to do with the paint thickness and the certification required for every individual colour. On the individual website when you select a colour it informs you of the delete, for what it's worth I just picked up my Frozen Grey M4 fully loaded, no sensors were affected.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Never would have thought this to be the case

So lane assist is when you have the driving assist package, and when you hit the signal it goes into the lane for you ? Is that lane assist ?
If so that's not the biggest deal.
But still your paying $5k more don't take shit away from me.

It is my understanding that the high metallic content of some individual colors is not compatible with the sensors. I would guess high reflectivity confuses them. But I am no physicist

To OP
Thank you for posting this , as I had no idea a gray of this caliber even existed on the palette.

Living in LA , you can imagine Nardo gray is incredibly played out , I mean you literally see it on Corolla's at this point.

So as much as I wanted it , went with BSM instead.

But this shade of gray , is next level.
I couldn't help it and added it to my build but must now suffer the consequences , I may get my car this year or I may not Lmao

Aside from that , would you please post a few more pics / videos ?

Also , I'm strongly considering to Xpel stealth wrap
Has anyone seen a grey black matte ?

Thanks everyone on the compliments on the colour! It is quiet nice.

I have some carbon fiber front lip, side skirts with the wing thing and the wings for the rear sides. Waiting on the CF bits in the front quarter and then will put it all on the car and get some more pics

Silverstone, suits it really well. I've tried to include some pics now but my interior shot angles suck compared to everyone else

Still new to the forums, uploaded a crap quality video to imgur that shows the exterior against the interior:

Original purchasers finance fell through, I called the dealership by chance just after it happened. The car wasn't on the showroom floor yet. Went straight there and put a deposit down and took the car the next working day so had no wait at all... but did pay for the convenience
