Love it. Congrats!

SM0KESTR0NG · 04-17-2022, 04:38 PM

Looks incredible & congrats!

I ordered the same color & it just started production..

Atlantis metallic looks like at least 20 different shades of blue, just like the ocean 🌊

Can’t wait 2 see it in person

Best blue color so far. Kind of reminds me of my long beach blue M2C.
The photos don't do justice. In person the color will pop up even more.

Thanks! Yes it is definitely a little different in person, I’ve tried to edit to get as close to reality as possible, but it looks more blue than teal on my phone. The opposite is reality. I love LBB, having seen it in person, it really pops. Atlantis is a bit more teal/green in various lighting conditions

Nice!

That paint is absolutely stunning, dream spec

nathanm4 · 04-18-2022, 12:15 PM

Excellent color choice!

Atlantis Blue and Twilight Purple make G8X pop!

418BUC · 04-18-2022, 12:21 PM

Nice, too much debate globally re the front tbh I don't get it. BMW got it right from the off and the M3/M4 has such road presence. Anyone critical is just jealous.

AbdullahMDM · 04-18-2022, 12:21 PM

Looks beautiful on your car bro, congrats. It doesn't look this good on my M760

FINALLY after a 7+ month wait…. The first car I have built to my spec has arrived!

This saga began years ago with my first ///M car a Z3MR… skip fwd to 2020 I sold my E46 M3 ZCP (an '05 with 46K miles… worth a lot more now

) and bought a 2018 Tanzanite Blue/Silverstone F80 Comp pckg 6 spd manual with 2K miles. Due to COVID (and living in a cold weather state where I store my rwd cars over winter) I hardly put on miles on that car driving ~3K miles in the span of 16 months.

During ownership I found out that the 2022 M3 was going to be available in AWD which was exciting but a couple things held me back…. 1) The front end and 2) the lack of a manual (in the awd model). I started thinking about it more and more as reviews of the G8X came out which were generally very positive…. And then I finally saw a G80 and G82 in person (getting an oil change on my F80) and was shocked to find myself thinking the car actually looked good in person.

After some more thinking, I decided to go all in on the car and decided to trade in my F80 in August. I ordered a G80 Competition xDrive in my dream color Atlantis Metallic over Tartufo. I didn't think it would take over 7 months but I can say…

IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! Favorite car I've owned so far (I'm 20+ deep)! The car lived up to all the hype and I'm at about 300 miles…. Absolute beast, steering is excellent and all with AWD making this a year round car for me! I don't think there is another AWD car that can package the power, fun to drive factor and practicality (2 kids < 4 yrs old) as well as this one!!

Before I picked up the car, my CA had texted me several pictures saying the color is truly special…. And to get it the hell out of there because it was distracting everyone that walked by it (prospective clients). You can see in the 4th pic someone else is taking a pic while my CA is taking one to send to me.

The color is stunning, and very hard to capture, it's a very deep teal in person, and just friggin awesome.

Hope you guys enjoy the pics… many more to come!

Congrats bro! Perfect color combo!

Thanks! Definitely overwhelmed with the response on the ‘gram and elsewhere. Glad others can appreciate the car/color.

Bumpinjeep · 04-18-2022, 12:57 PM

The front page doesn't do the color justice. The color changing properties of Atlantis are pretty epic as just about every picture looks like a different shade or color. Congrats on the car. I had the same reaction to Hockenheim Silver on my car and it truly never gets old. Enjoy the car.

spuntyb · 04-18-2022, 01:11 PM

That's gotta feel good. Enjoy in good health!
