Favorite exterior color?

nathanm4 · 03-15-2021, 02:28 PM

Satin Red Chrome

ROBERT1183 · 03-15-2021, 03:14 PM

after seeing the Dravit grey metallic in person i might be leaning towards that. the flake is amazing in the sun. has a greenish/goldish tint to it.

bmr760 · 03-15-2021, 04:52 PM

Individual colour - Brilliant White Metallic (U21). A personal favourite of mine.

There was a pic posted of one few months back somewhere in the EU parked on the street, it was devine. Looked kinda lemon yellow similar to that netflix movie with the Alfa Quad, talk about presence.

I like Brooklyn Grey and IoMG the most from launch colors.

I'm wondering how a Daytona Violet or Purple Silk G80 will look, though. Think darker colors look better than bright colors (outside of neutrals like grey)like yellow and such, so maybe the Daytona would look better but IDK. For the F80 I wanted green or purple and got green. I'm tempted to go purple now if I get one but I really like greens a lot now so it's tough.

Brooklyn grey but I’m biased lol

I'm sort of surprised at the apparent popularity of Brooklyn Gray.

I wonder if people started to like it a lot more once pictures of real cars started showing up or if it was always interesting from the get-go (maybe a sort of Nardo Gray proxy?)

Did not see frozen orange or that fire orange metallic on configurator—how are these ordered?

ask your dealer, both of them are "individual" altough frozen orange is offered as "standard" but still individual.

I don't get it with this online configurators anyway, every country has different colour choices altough for example in switzerland frozen dark grey is not listed in the configurator but you can order it.

I had a Dravit Grey on Cognac m340i. Wonderful color.

I am bouncing back and forth between Tanzinite and Dravit this go around. I reallllly want Tartufo interior, but I am worried it may be too dark on Dravit? Could always go Fiona Red on Dravit... but may be a bit too much for me.

frank70 · 03-24-2021, 02:10 PM

I ordered Oxid Grey on Orange but i do really like a lot of colors on the G80/82.
I really like BSM, Toronto Red, Portimao in nearly all pictures and could have chosen any of these instead of my selected color. I do also like Brooklyn Grey in about 80% of the pictures of it, but do strongly dislike it in rainy weather pics where it shows a really blueish hue. I also dislike Isle of Men Green and Sao Paolo Yellow in nearly all pics. Dravit Grey and Tanzanite also look great especially in sunny pictures.

antzcrashing · 03-28-2021, 04:43 PM

Saw Sao Paolo Yellow in person on the M4, looks great even better in person. It was paired with the yellow/blue carbon seats and that is a hot combination

Nice choice, Oxide Grey is fast becoming one of my favourites current BMW colours.

My F82 is Yas Marina Blue, which they don't offer on Individual and my previous car (F22) was Mineral Grey which is a nice colour that really sparkles in the sun when clean.

So I think a grey will be my choice and that sort of slightly bronze pearl effect that seems to be in Oxide might just be the winner for me.

I still have to decide whether to go G80 or G82 though, that might be the tougher choice!

I agree with the Oxide Grey. My F82 is also Yas Marina Blue and one of the main reasons I got the M4. It's a shame its not available this time round

IOMG

9153mark · 04-02-2021, 09:58 AM

Has anyone seen any pictures of skyscraper grey?
I'd decided on Iomg but saw the Canadian mystery grey pics and started tracking back to my usual grey choices (Aston owner and had loads of grey cars)...
Now Oxide rivalling Iomg but haven't seen anything in skyscraper...
Got about a week left before order finalises

The backlash against Alpine White is real. 10 years ago, it was on every other E92 and there were people lamenting missing the opportunity to build E46s in BMW's timeless 300.

Just picked up my AW G82 and hopeful that this spec does actually turn out to be as uncommon as the anecdotal poll data suggests.
