You need your eyes checked….and that car is dirty as hell.

Lol obviously I’m aware it’s dirty. But it just didn’t look good at all to me. I mean I get it. Dirty cars never look as good, but it didn’t do ANYTHING for me.

Yeah man this car is filthy and would turn me off for sure. Plus I don't like that wheel style as much. I'm telling you if this is the only car you've seen live in this color it's not a good representation but you still may not like it either way. When mines all cleaned up and the sun is hitting it I just love the color. Good luck in whatever color you go!

I prefer 826M and totally agree with you. IOMG is a charming color that must be appreciated in person and in different environments.

When I first see it in a picture (dealer's showroom with wired green light underneath the car), the color was not appealing to me at all, and I had never been interested in a green car before.

Until one day I saw an IOMG G82 on the internet, which demonstrates the color both under shade (under trees) and sunny day (lovely California sunlight). This color appears in my mind repeatedly, I just can't forget how charming it is.
It has many characters and flexibility. If I describe this color into a person, she exudes an air of confidence and restraint. I had a strong desire to own one.

Australian version G8x is highly optioned by default due to its price tag, unfortunately expensive. Executive package, laser light, shadow line, extend leather interior, driving assistance package, M driver's package, choice of 825/826 wheels are all fitted as standard. I choose g82 as I have no practical concerns, I will always take a coupe if a car is available in 2 doors version.

As a result, I ordered an IOMG G82 m4 competition, KO bucket seat, Black 826M with the red caliper. The so-called "Christmas decoration".
I suppose to receive mine in mid/late September.

I don't care about other's judgment and wouldn't be trying to convince anyone. There is always a reason behind every decision, no matter what color and options are selected, the key is to follow your heart & enjoy!

Okay I'm not crazy. haha. The video that I posted, that's what I was hoping I was going to see. Because that video sold me on the color. After seeing it in person, I wasn't sure if the video was just enhanced the green so much of its true natural color.

I was going to build the exact same setup as you, 826M (bi color, I personally think the bi color looks the best with this color) with KO interior with red calipers. Congrats on your build!

I started with skyscraper but now I'm leaning towards this color.

Do you think that it will look good with Fiona red interior or the orange one?

Personally not a fan of Tartufo, it's too common in other bimmers.

One thing that struck me with Isle of Man green is that it's a special and specific M car color unlike skyscraper which is common in other BMWs as well.

I’m excited about my order IOMG/Fiona/825Bi. I think it’s unlike every other on the road today with some sort of dark graphite grey something.

This pic was the final straw on how I wanted my car to look

The silver 825 wheels are under sold and underrated. You'll love it.

Agreed. Especially when X3M/4M are available with 892m wheels which look exactly like 826m, 826 will quickly become overused and oversold
