Fun shot for me. If I had gotten an allocation when I tried pre-release instead of picking up my frog HEA car so randomly, I was probably going to order Toronto Red. I'm plenty happy with what I got, but I do get a bit of a heart-tug when I see shots of TR and AR cars.

What a color. The only what I noticed that camera picking wrong saturation!!! I don’t know whats going on….
Is incredible color very saturated very juicy.
The color is dark/contrasted green in person…but on a pictures is some weird color shade

I completely agree, pictures do not do the color justice. I was completely blown away when I picked up my car earlier this week

This thread is increasingly making me unable to wait for my IOMG M3 competition xDrive (a mouthful…) with that gorgeous full Kyalami orange interior (and carbon buckets)… still at the "order placed" mark as of today (order was placed Feb 2 or 3, I think).

EDIT: Just moved to "scheduled for production"

So I was able to replicate the color shade ! this is the picture of real Isle of Man Green in real life (car under ADAMS ceramic/wax coating)

(According to some research, the human eye can perceive a maximum of 7M colors while machines i.e. computers, can “see” much more. However, that is just a matter of perspective since not everyone sees colors the same way. The bit depth is what determines the color information of a digital image)

This vibrant color would be just as sharp if looking at IOMG G80 from a Hubble telescope. Thanks for sharing!

Brazilian_BAMF · 02-21-2022, 10:14 AM

I got my IOMG last week!!!

That's is the most beautiful color by far!

I've been in "scheduled for production" for at least 2 weeks.

I've cleared browsing history and cache.

Perhaps my phone needs an apple upgrade.

I'm gonna restore to original settings see if my order advances from current status.

I've heard "scheduled for production" can take a few weeks to get to "production begins." I can't really confirm or qualify that, just what I've been hearing.

Last pictures of my M3 before I traded it in. I took it up in the mountains (SoCal) for a final drive and some pics.

GrahamSP · 02-28-2022, 11:39 AM

It's probably blashemy - but anyone spec'd IOMG with Fjord Blue? I've posted on a couple different color threads - I'm surprised not more people have spec'd Fjord. My F80 has Sakhir orange interior and my wife's M50 has Tartufo - so I'm looking to switch it up on the G80.

I was actually really considering this set-up. Seemingly every person I spoke to who had seen the Fjord blue interior said it simply wouldn't match. Apparently, there's neither contrast (like with the kyalami orange) nor direct compatibility (like with a fully black or white/silver stone interior). So it apparently doesn't contrast well, nor does it match well (like a neutral or same color interior).

I really really wanted to try out the blue interior, but just couldn't spec it that way and buy the car sight unseen (as I haven't even seen photos of this combination) and went with the recommendation of my dealer to either go full black or full kyalami (and ended up speccing full kyalami).

If you do get it, I would LOVE to see the end result!

I can't get over how dark those 826m bi color rims are. Since the rest of the car is immaculate, I'm assuming the rims aren't dirty right? I wish there was an option that had more pop than the 826 bi color but less than the 825 silver.
