Really liking the IOM green. Have Tanzanite on my current F80 and absolutely love it but wanting a change. Will be waiting for the G83 so I have some time.

Ideally I'd do IOM with a cognac or aragon brown full leather interior. Maybe I can get it in an Individual leather option when the convertible is released.

No way. In my opinion, this color palette is arguably not as good as E46, but it's the best since then. The E9x M launched with Melbourne Red (meh) and a bunch of other unremarkable colors. The F8x M launched with Austin Yellow, Yas Marina Blue, Sakhir Orange, and no actual red. I happen to like most of those colors, but AY, YMB, and SO are somewhat polarizing.

This time you are getting a yellow that isn't snot colored, a red, a decent blue, and a green to go along with the usual grayscale.

thinking this will end up being what Brooklyn Gray Metallic will look like?





If so, this would probably be my #1 color choice with the orange interior.

the colors are substantially better than the F-series, aside from a more wild-looking blue.

What interior color? I'm pairing again with full silverstone. Never gets old!
This is what I'm leaning towards too.

Looks like there is a frozen orange based on the australian online configurator I see on another thread.

I don't like any of these colors personally. I will be doing either frozen orange or fire orange individual (if they approve it for an early allocation).

These are the 3 greys from the basic online configurator:

- Brooklyn
- Dravit
- Oxide

Yeah this is really a shame and a head scratcher. I guess individual is always an option.

How much do they charge for individual color? Like if I wanted to get Laguna seca? Is it $5,000?

Are you kidding? This is one of the best I have seen from BMW as there's a color for everyone except maybe silver lovers. IOMG and Toronto Red are stunners compared to what the F80's launched with.

Do you know, is Toronto red a red red or is it an orange red? Where is it on the realm of Ferrari red?

Do you think there's a possibility that when xdrive is released next summer (would it be a MY2022 at that point?), that an additional color or two may be offered? Or even the year after?

I'm going with either the Sao Paolo Yellow or the Blue with the manual. I personally like the new design language. I'm in the beginning stages of preparing to sell my Melbourne Red 2015 435i Sport Line Coupe which has been a wonderful car. I've been going back and forth between a M4 Heritage Edition sitting at my local dealer, an M2 Comp, or jumping ship to a Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 which is an under appreciated machine packing a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder which slipped by most of the US journalists radar but was heavily praised by European journalists with many calling it the 911 of yesteryear.

For some reason I thought this M4 was coming out during the 3rd or 4th qtr of 2021, but since it's March/April I am going to wait til it becomes available and buy it new. I've seen the new design side by side in a video and I see personally love the new design language on the new generation M4. Factor in the manual trans and I'm sold.

It's a red red base that has a bit of an orange hue to it in certain lighting conditions due to the silver metallic flakes in the paint. It pops more than most reds as I get lots of "nice color" comments. If orange really bothers you I would advise you to seek out an X3/4M or X5/6M in TR if a local dealer has them on their lots to see for yourself as pictures don't always tell the story when it comes to a lot of shades.

I'm very glad that I won't have to see Mineral Grey on every other M3! Bring on the new greys!

I love the colors.

A red! Finally! With some orange hints just how I like it
Yellow! Yellow yellow. Nice
A frozen blue that looks a lot like Montecarlo blue to me
A green! Hulk Smash! Nice

What do you make of the Frozen Orange only being on the Australian configurator and not the UK or DE?

IomG bores me (compared to Java Green, Signal Green, or Verde Mantis). Toronto Red is OK, its a lot better than Sakhir Orange.

There's nothing for blue lovers. All the blues except Frozen Portimao are boring. It's all a matter of perspective, however, as I think my CS looks boring in San Marino Blue.
