Of course, I have not seen MB on a new G80; I am going on viewing the color on other vehicles. Did you see MB on an F80 prior to ordering yours? If not, what was your initial reaction when you first saw your F80 -- exceeded expectations?

I think that these "Frozen" colors, especially black and grey, make the car look like a rat rod.

IOMG, Brooklyn Gray, Skyscraper Gray, Tanzanite, Toronto Red, BSM, and Dravit.... tooo many good options.
Both Gray's are my least favorite.. Meh. But such is the beauty of color.

Great choice! Mine, too of course with Kalamata Orange!
I'm following the ship now in real time. Left the port of Baltimore last night headed for Brunswick, GA. (due tomorrow) where mine will be off loaded for delivery in S. Florida. Should be 6 weeks almost to the day barring any delays.

I didn't order my MB F80. It set in my dealer's showroom for several months due to a deal that was not consummated. I saw it, loved it, and cut a pretty good deal for it.

I am here at the dealership getting the oil changed in the X5. I am glad I ordered my G82 before I actually saw the colors in person. I would have had an extremely hard decision to make.

On the show room floor today is a DG, BS, BG, and IOMG. These colors are spectacular!! If you have not ordered your G8x yet, do yourself a favor and try to see them in person.

If your order is already placed and beyond the point of changing, fear not, they all look amazing!!

Does anyone in Europe have any idea how much individual colors outside of the standard palette cost? My dealer is useless and said he'd get back to me on Monday....

Exterior color options are fantastic

Current M2C owner here with no plans to switch to the G8x. But I don't think there's been enough said how great these new color options are. I don't love all of them, but the diversity is impressive. Just look at any new Audi or Merc...you can choose from black or various greys, maybe a navy blue at best. Kudos, BMW.

And I'll hold out hope for IOMG and buckets on the G87 in a couple years

Big time. I was out of cars for about 7 years and mostly bought second hand in the past. Basically my choices were Avus blue, Silver, Black and Estoril if you were lucky.

The game done changed!

The whole design of the car with the grill and the out there colours for both interior and exterior is quite bold and ahead of its time I think

I have to agree on the great options available because like a lot of others here, I can’t make a decision. Good job these allocations are hard to come by!
