Best looking G80/G82 Color

While what looks good is subjective and may even depend on lightening and other modifications, it will be interesting to hear other people’s opinion about the best color for a G80/G82.

We’ve had a few treads about colors people ordered and the worst color but not about the best color, which may not necessarily be what one has/ordered.

Personally, I’ve never been more confused about a color, maybe because I typically just buy off the lot and I love black cars. All my BMWs have been black, and I’ve sworn to try a different color this time around since I'm ordering. I’ve bounced around between the following colors: IoMG, TBII, Dravit Grey, and Aventurine Red.

There is a poll for this. I found it a bit surprising.

This poll is essentially a poll for what car color they own, but still curious to see the long term results!

I always told myself if I had the chance to order an Individual BMW, I would order one in Fashion Gray (Mode Grau). But when the G8X came out, I just didnt see it fitting the car as well as I hoped, so I went with Dravit Gray. But Fashion Gray is fantastic.

I voted for Oxide Grey, but I got an M4, so couldn't actually order Oxide.

Not necessarily. Some of us think a perticular individual color may be better than what we ordered but we just didn't want to pay the rip off price for the individual paint.

Not necessarily. You might have bought one off the lot, ordered a color unseen, or see another color that you think looks better than your own.

Having the car doesn't mean you got the best looking.
In my case, the matte colors are the best looking, but considering how to take care of it and this will be my daily car(70 miles/day), I decided to go for IO.

Those matte greys have been overplayed so quickly. It’s a shame for Brooklyn Grey. Now every Accord, Kia, RAV4, Subaru and Tacoma I see are Brooklyn Grey

The best looking color is the one you have.

You're over analyzing this. Who gives a fuck. If you liek the color you should have gotten it. Do you have a complex or something?
