Amazing. I agree. Is that a Porsche color?

Yes, it's a Porsche colour. Riviera Blue is similar to Mexico and also a popular individual colour on BMW's

I was in a BMW dealer yesterday and saw a G82 in Daytona Beach Blue - Initially I thought it was Mexico Blue. Makes sense now from what you said!

Is the Daytona and Mexico the same color in US? I no longer see the Mexico blue available in the individual colors US online tool, and IMO the Daytona looks a different tone.

I believe it’s the exact same. Just a name change.

Is this exhaust a factory option? If so, which one?

M Sport Exhaust. It’s not shown on the website.
It’s on the dealer options for $8,900.00 +/-
I checked that box. It’s titanium, 16lbs lighter, and louder.
The center design is specifically to pass US DB regulations. The test is performed from the side at the curb. Moving the exhaust to the center in a triangle pattern kept the side DB lower while alowing rear DB to increase.

Gorgeous car. Just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!

Ditch the lower black parts of the car. Make it body colour so the vehicle looks as thick as it really is

Lose the OEM wheels. Too many spokes, worse in black and hiding details

You mentioned the exhausts so I guess you’d space em out like E9x 335i kinda spacing. No rear spoilers unless it’s a CSL type boot lid…fully integrated backside yuno

Before anyone crucifies me, OP asked what we think they should do with the car

2011ninja · 01-15-2023, 08:09 AM

The more I see the exhaust the more I like it!

Seriously. That thing is just stunning.

provenflipper · 01-15-2023, 01:35 PM

If I were to go with individual paint, this color would be at the top of the list. Looks amazing!

Detailers Domain · 01-15-2023, 04:52 PM

congrats

smartAlec91 · 01-16-2023, 08:12 AM

I love this color. If I ever went individual I’d have to go this route! Looking forward to the progress with the one!

That exhaust style is growing on me. I don't have it on my G80 but I might spec it with my new M2

Definitely growing on us too, we will make it a lot louder we think before we swap back to our R44 system. Or maybe even the R44 system with the M perf style rear.

Was thinking similar until we saw this drifting, a lot better in person once you live with it. Super car vibes xD
