If I get a G80 I don't think I will do TB2 again.
Dravit Grey or BSM.
Agreed although I'm not sure Dravit is aging well. I'm looking real hard at oxide gray too. I would go for red but I'd get pulled over weekly in that color.

You're probably right. It comes across as dull/flat in a lot of these pics.

A lot of cloudy days here in central OH, unfortunately.

Disagree, I prefer the bi-color 825Ms.

Hmm, I think the car looks really good here. Sure I may be biased because I have TB, but it's one of the best combos I've seen so far.

TB is a nice color, but it seems to need a lot of Sunshine to make it "pop". If you see it on a overcast or cloudy day it is just "another nice dark blue car".
I've gone with Portiamo Blue. It is something more "showy" and will pop regardless of the ambient lighting.

21 days and counting! Mine is sitting at VTC in South Carolina waiting to be released..... went with the 1TB bi-color 826 wheel, carbon fiber interior and full leather....

I think either wheel works but 826 is vastly superior. I have machine faced winter wheels on tanz blue M340i and it looks very good, but it ain't no M car.

Those pics make me like TZB again.

Going with grey orbit wheels no matter what.

TB can look very sporty/aggressive when combined with smokey style of headlights and wheels. I think that’s a good look for the G8X. If you combine TB with bright silver wheels as 825M TB’s luxury side dominates. Nice on a 7 series but not as suitable on an M3 IMO.

Btw. If I get the G8X it will be in TB with 826Ms.

I want to get TB, but still contemplating wheels, stock, 825M, Bicolor 826M.

Also, undecided on CF buckets or not.....
