Official AVENTURINE RED G80 M3 / G82 M4 Thread

I think I'm the only one here thus far? I know you all have seen a bunch of pictures of my car (below) but the color does deserve its official thread I believe.

I just saw this color in person on an M4 xdrive and was surprised by how dark it was in-person, even in the sunlight. I really thought it was going to be a beautiful candy apple metallic hue in direct sunlight but it was more a deep maroon metallic and when the light was hitting just right, it had a momentary candy apple feel. If you are looking for a color that is more of a metallic candy red rather than a beautiful deep maroon hue with hints of black, this isnt the right color for you. So many of these G8x colors are extremely hard to get right in pictures! None the less, really a striking color and looks amazing on the G8x cars. Im sticking with IOMG, but was really excited about this color until i saw it in-person, since i was hoping for more of that candy apple red metallic to pop out and would be a deep maroon most of the time living in the cloudy PNW.

I agree with you here, the weather/climate will affect how the color is portrayed. Where I live it, its so bright and the weather is brilliant so I have been able to truly capture the car in the bright sun but I will also post more pics in the darker situations where the paint darkens and the flake tends to get hidden.

Damn, I wish we had a local dealer that ordered such a great color. I may have bought mine off the lot as well.

In this regal color, I imagine G8Xs would have flown off the lot at most dealerships.

I like the use of the word Regal


so who wore it better? That laser sensor thing is a bit annoying

The Aventurine Red all day for me, Vic.

And yes, that laser thing offset to the driver's side is the main reason I didn't get that option. Plus, as much as I wanted all the latest technology in my first, ever new car, self-driving was not one of them. I'll save this for later, when I'm forced to go "electric", and then the car can just drive for me from Point A to Point B.

So, in this Official Aventurine Red Thread, do we have just 1? Are there any other Av Reds out there, or is this color that rare across the world?

If so, can't be some dealer ordered such a rare color for their showrooms, but to Vic's benefit.

LOL its not that rare as there are other models of BMW's that are painted this way. But outside of my car, only CanuckM posted one that was in NYC I think.

Im definitely one of the first G80's with this car and the first to post here I do believe.

Looking great Vic are you considering a custom caliper color like on your M8? This is screaming for gold calipers IMO!

Vic seems to be the only Bimmerpost member so far. But there were two other cars in Aventurine Red posted on the forum a few days ago (a G80 and a G83).

These pictures are what ruined my life and forced me into an AR car.... so far I was expecting mostly positive in person comments with some detractors as color is always subjective but none so far.

My ceramic guy is at my house now and said this paint is shockingly good... the shine from the factory is strong but of course under his lights will pick apart imperfections and fix them pre coating.
