Your opinion is valid. Isle Of Man was chosen to be an official/standard color, so BMW focus groups probably also found more benefits to it as well.

kermit_g83 on Instagram has a similar vert that I also love!:

Having seen Isle of Man in real life I can say that it’s also a much more dynamic color than the camera gives it credit for.

Similarly without a professional camera, this is the best I can do:

To the OP be wary of this guy.

In the end I felt the same way. The biggest difference is that St James is metallic paint and Ferrari Red is a non metallic solid.

Look great IMO!

Been a fan of green and none metallic (as it looks in the pictures to me). I’m sure it gets crazy attentions and props in the real world.

For the life of me I just can’t see the metallic flake — it makes me feel tone deaf for colors, lol. I bet it looks dramatically different in 3 dimensions than what the camera flattens it down too much.

I just watched a YouTube video of 2022 m440i in St James and it really doesn’t capture as a metallic paint. I bet it appears very flourescent in real life though.

It’s the only car I’ve owned that I’ve had non-car people ask to take pictures.

Welcome to the club, I see you have some example of my M3 in there also 😉

I have not found one photo that truly captures the colour IRL it is very dynamic.

Haha, I remember the thread where you posted it! “What did you do to your m3/m4 today?” You posted the outside photo and I asked for any others — your indoor and night shots looked so different. I really couldn’t understand it.

Thank you again!

Full disclaimer so that you can’t come back and blame me for keeping it secret: The color shows dirt extremely easily. Like worse than any black car I’ve ever owned. You will want to install a car wash in your garage. Or a shower. Just go ahead and bathe with the car every morning.

Ha. I'm in Brooklyn Grey Metallic and it is the absolute opposite. It almost always looks clean.

Fantastic color, I first saw this last August when BMW posted this video teasing the I4 M (or something) showcasing an I4 M50 in Fame Green.
