Question If you were to pick a color again, what would you choose?

Just put a deposit down for 2022 M3 xDrive.

I picked Dravit Grey Metallic + Silverstone/Black, but can't stop thinking about BSM or IOMG.

If you were to pick a color again, what would you choose?

I went with Dravit, if I could go back I’d have chosen white. Any form of white…

Without hesitation it would be IOMG again! As said before in some of my posts the attention this color gets from people everyday is amazing. I mean I don't live in a big city like Chicago, New York or California so I know I'm pretty much the only guy on the block right now with a G80 M3 around town but it's just unique. I really think the styling is just so polarizing along with the color it just attracts attention because it's different.

Should've made this a poll, but I currently have BSM. I really love the IOMG the more I see it in person and would pick that color(I am very happy with BSM though, I like to take care of my cars paint so the extra work is worth how great black cars look). IOMG is the best standard color option from BMW IMO

I wouldn't have picked IOMG (didn't look that amazing on the configurator) if I'd gotten to actually do an order rather than the HEA car I ended up with. I was torn between Toronto Red (I have a life-long obsession with red cars and have only owned two), and Brooklyn Gray. Very happy with the IOMG, though...it's just so pretty in real life. I wouldn't TRADE it for any other color now, but if mine got eaten by a dinosaur, I would probably go with TR rather than have the same color twice.

I have BSM. It's a safe bet. Impossible to keep clean.

When I picked up the car. There was a four series in San Remo Green.

It looked so good. Probably worth the individual paint price

If I didn't end up getting approved for Twilight Purple I would have tried for Java Green next. If either of those two fell through, I would have stuck with my original pick of São Paulo Yellow.

I think a deep purple exterior with a red inferior would look sick, but I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to order one

I'll be choosing Dravit for my M4 xDrive order but I agree, BSM keeps pulling me in.

I just saw a San Remo green M440i the other day at dealership too and it was very special. The CA said most people aren't interested in it but I loved it. Alligator green!

Placing order for G82 in Verde Ermes tomorrow. Expensive color but I think with it.

My G80 is Frozen White. Love it, but I would do something more “wild” next time. Dakar possibly.

I wouldn't change a thing, unless BMW let me have laguna seca that is. It's going to be a tough choice come LCI time. Unless BMW comes out with some new cool stock colors I'm going to have to try and pick an equally cool individual color again.

I'm shocked that people would pick black. I for one would have done Dravit, as I was going back and forth between that and TB II. Dravit is extremely underrated, and cannot be appreciated in photos.

It's tough to pick without being able to see the combos in person ahead of time.

I'm going safe and choosing Silverstone. Probably would have gone Tartufo is they offered them in the carbon buckets.
