Thanks!

Here are all of the standard colors.

My vote is Skyscraper Grey.

Gizmo 335i · 03-04-2021, 11:55 AM

I voted other and really like LeMans Blue. Black Sapphire is #2.

Yas_sir · 03-04-2021, 01:37 PM

Other. Blue Hera.

Looks like the vote tally bars dont get colored on after vote option 6, do others see that too? Viewing on apple ipad.

antzcrashing · 03-04-2021, 03:11 PM

Where did all the SPY people go?

AhsanU · 03-04-2021, 03:29 PM

Isle of Man Green

There's been much controversy about the grill and I'm not the biggest fan of it, but the IOMG paint I saw in person solidified the car for me. Sounds silly, but it's absolutely gorgeous.

Currently the most popular color in the poll

After seeing IOMG in person....my decision on color was set

Saturatedfat · 03-04-2021, 04:40 PM

This is surprising, in the other threads barely anyone said iomg.

Jproos · 03-04-2021, 05:00 PM

It was so hard to pick a single favorite. In the end, I had to go with TB since that’s what’s on my G80 M3 6MT.

I think when I see more of them in the flesh, I’m going to like them much more than I do in the configurator and in videos. IOMG is the one I think may give me regrets. I came REALLY close to ordering it.

If I was going non frozen I would 100% order IOM Green. It was stunning in person.

AndroidRobot · 03-04-2021, 08:08 PM

IOMG is a beautiful color, by far the best stock color I've seen from any OEM in a while

It appears the same way for me on my iPad.

Wanted Laguna Seca, but got Enzian Blue

Interesting results. My thoughts so far:

- Surprised with the popularity of IOM Green, but it is a launch color and very clean. Maybe there is also pent up demand for a green?

- Surprised with the popularity of Brooklyn Gray, but the light chauky grays are gaining favor in society

- Surprised with the popularity of Tanzanite Blue especially with respect to lower popularity of Portimao Blue, both being non-M specific, although that should'nt be a detractor imo

- Surprised by low popularity of Sao Paolo Yellow and Toronto Red (my preference ATM) but these are loud colors, so maybe that's a factor

- Surprised by the only moderate popularity of Black Safire Metallic because this was a crowd pleaser in early photo leaks and shots of G8X

Picturesque · 03-06-2021, 12:28 PM

Voodoo Blue followed by Signal Green

I would love to go with IOMG, only reason I didn't is there it'll be a daily and I feel like it will show the dirt or scratches way too much. Looks amazing though

Tanzanite hides the grille a bit which is why I think it's popular. And of course it's not loud. I think it's a great choice for this car.

The yellow is pretty ugly in my opinion. The IOMG looked good in person. I was surprised.
