Hi guys, it's me again. You might know me from my Jerez Black E90 M3 or my Black Sapphire M2 Competition.

Order was confirmed in April and produced in July.

Carbon Black Metallic
Fiona Red Full Leather
CF Bucket seats
Galvanic buttons

Will be updating this post when I do mods

Cheers,
Sunny

Nice spec!!!

frank70 · 10-16-2021, 07:16 AM

Yes looks great. Nice combination. I am glad though i did not have to pay for your car because i imagine the Hong Kong taxes on cars like this must be terrible.

chicagofan00 · 10-16-2021, 09:28 AM

Excellent spec, Sunny! The FR buckets look fantastic.

Reminds me of my Azurite Black on Sakhir Orange F80... amazing combo!

forza1976 · 10-16-2021, 09:56 AM

Beauty!

Rayien · 10-16-2021, 09:57 AM

damn black on red looks so good. If only i had the patience to care for a black car

bforbrian · 10-16-2021, 11:33 AM

Beauty! Carbon black is an individual color on the G8X, correct?

W/// · 10-16-2021, 12:18 PM

Gorgeous spec. Looking forward to your feedback on the car as you've had 2 of the same cars I have

Seedster2 · 10-16-2021, 03:55 PM

My first car, an e46 M3, was carbon black. Love that color. More pics of the buckets please!

modat · 10-16-2021, 03:57 PM

Car looks great.

Just curious though, why did you pay the extra for carbon black when bsm looks so similar. I was at the dealership today comparing the two samples and they looked almost undistinguishable

eMMit · 10-16-2021, 04:27 PM

Carbon Black is very different to BSM. CB is actually quite blue in certain light conditions... people often say my CB X6M is blue, not black.

DimM3 · 10-16-2021, 04:31 PM

Love carbon black.Only thing I would change is red calipers.

The Stig · 10-16-2021, 04:56 PM

I didnt know you could order the galvanic buttons. I love them in my X7. Nice touch!

Color combo is amazing. I have BSM with all black and the Carbon buckets, and I wish I had gone either Fiona or Kyalami

BGM-M3COMP · 10-16-2021, 06:17 PM

The fiona red interior is a must have for the G8x!

Draper · 10-16-2021, 06:53 PM

Well done!

This is a great combo.

mzcp · 10-16-2021, 06:55 PM

Congrats bro. Time to mod now

ashtaron14 · 10-17-2021, 08:30 PM

Thanks guys!

Carbon Black is an Individual Color, and it cost about $250 USD (before tax) more than Tanzanite Blue/Oxide Grey/Dravit Grey. I quoted Jerez Black and it was the same price as Santorini Blue, hence I settled for Carbon Black.

j23 · 10-17-2021, 11:44 PM

Amazing spec. I would have never considered black, until I saw this. Pretty much everything I would spec, including 6MT.

This short clip on Instagram also sold me:

BTW, what is the galvanic button option and how do I spec it?

ashtaron14 · 10-18-2021, 12:21 AM

Code is 4U0 Galvanic Embellisher for Controls

But I believe it's only for EU.

cfm56d7b · 10-18-2021, 02:14 AM

Fantastic car. Congratulations!
