Looks lovely, except the design is still a piece of crap.

Speaking about a crappy design, here's what I just noticed on an M3, (attached)

Did they run out of ideas while working on an rear door?

It's a 3 series rear door.

Look very pretty. G80 takes it by a mile from this angle!

I wouldn't want them in CF either. People overdo it with CF and it looks gaudy. Give me body colored panels.

I'd really like to see a base six speed manual M3 as that's the only M3/M4 car I'd consider in place of my current M2.
1. All seem to be competition models yes, as they all have black model emblems instead of chrome. Most dealership cars will be, as most people don’t want a manual anymore.

2. The meshed ones (like on the black one) are indeed standard. The non-meshed vents are included in the carbon-fibre appearance package.

I’ve always disliked frozen colours, but I have to say that they look extremely good on these cars! Very aggressive!

The G82 in that pic looks like my old 2014 GTR Black Edition at first glance.

It may look odd in a picture here & there, but in person it's just like the current F80 that has an F30 door. In fact it makes the car look wider compared to the M4 so most of us like it that way

The Sunset Orange is a underrated color. I would love to have this color on G80 if it were a option in the US.

After seeing them in person and in bright outdoor natural sunlight today, I will say these cars look great from nearly every angle. The sides make the M4 look like it is massive in pictures (especially that video of the M4 on the track), it does not look like this in person at all. I will say I was on your "List" lol, just glad we didn't place any bets on my opinion changing.

Haha! All in good fun and forum sport. Glad you liked the cars. I'm still waiting for my opportunity to see them in person. IMHO, many BMW's do not photograph well, and most of the pics we drool over are heavily edited. When I look at my cars in photos, I don't like them very much. In person I love them.

Honestly I've felt this way about every car I've owned, too.

I remember getting pics of my F80 from my dealer when the car arrived and having 2nd thoughts...ended up loving it obviously.

Its a beautiful color and I would choose this option in the regular color but I do not want to pay 5k when there is no charge for M340i.

Frozen sunset orange is not available on the G20, just the normal version. It's $2,500 for frozen portimao blue so presume it's the same.

I would gladly spend $5,500 for Fire Orange though!

Pre-production. The Brooklyn Grey G80 also has the non-M mirrors.

Thanks for sharing this. I reached out to Pete Drives who created this video and he sent me a couple of indoor pics of Brooklyn Grey. It looks gorgeous indoors IMO but I need to see it in person outside on a sunny day, as it appears to be much more silver than grey.

Could you please ask him for a frozen portimao blue indoor shot?

He will check as he's not sure he has indoor pics of frozen portimao blue. He said he'll post what he has on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/petedrives/
