I have the other problem.... I like IOM green but my wife doesn't like it lol

I had Gold Brown in my F80 and it looked a lot more orange in pictures than it did in person. I'm hoping it's the same with KO because I love IOMG but am not a fan of Silverstone leather and think black would be too boring. I'm a sucker for green over tan combos lol

Yeah I think danniexi has it right... that oxford green/cinnamon combo on the E46 is gorgeous.

I think this is the extended leather option because the dashboard is two-tone and i can see leather just beneath the front windows ... FYI

Pretty mandatory option if you're into luxury

that's some lazy shifting if you somehow do that.

This. I had Gold Brown too for 4 years and not one single passenger told me its was orange... its was brown. I think its gonna be the same with this leather. Very warm and comfy color. Would recommend.

Love the color combo. Thanks for the shots!

Cl0ud7 · 01-22-2021, 02:01 PM

Is the orange interior more orange or brown? From the pictures, it could pass off as a brown?

Also, do you think the orange interior would work with Toronto Red exterior?

Sir! I have a tendency to rest my arm somewhat as opposed to my elbow defying the laws of gravity. I do always match my own revs even though it requires keeping the car in Sport+. I said Good Day!

This exactly, I love the IOMG but not the orange and in particular not the orange lower dash, Not the best looking combo, as has been said a darker brown would work, but if it was my choice black interior for me lol.

No, thank goodness

Looking for a new M4 but the last of the previous version, F82, there are still a few left as I do NOT like this iteration whatsoever at this time, it may change but I doubt it lol.
My 440i Will do until I find what I need .

Now that looks like a proper M3!!

MachinesWithSouls · 01-22-2021, 06:16 PM

Guys, what am I going to do.

With a name like somanybluecars, the choice would be obvious, but I'm not doing Portimao. Maybe Tanzanite, but...

I saw the car in this color in person and I just think it fits. The pull is strong with the orange combo interior.

I can't believe I'm leaning this way...

Technically green is just blue with a bit of yellow in it

Fronttwelv · 01-22-2021, 06:25 PM

Perfect spec! I agree about having silver wheels. I like the non shadowline headlights too. It's starting to grow on me too...

It can be on the teal side, this color. I just like it a lot...

Nice! Electronic hand brake will be a headache

JoeyBananaz18 · 01-22-2021, 09:04 PM

this is the best combo imo. The G80 is is really growing on me. Now if they can just give us the touring.

KINY3RA · 01-23-2021, 06:15 AM

The lowering and hue bug, bit once again. Slight tint too.

No way that orange is fooling anyone into thinking it's any shade of brown.

Who matches green and orange for anything? People need Garanimals for cars because those colors clash.
