For those of you who haven’t read my first thread on this G80, the link is in my first post at the bottom if interested. Its won’t be as detailed as this one.

This is my 5th M3. I have had two e92 ZCPs, a F80 ZCP, and a BG G80. Also currently have a G05 X5 M50i in Dravit grey. And have had a M340i. I like BMWs, clearly… I always wanted the F80 CS in Limerock Grey and came close to picking a few up over the past couple of years. Since enjoying the G80, and seeing the new CS, it has called my name. It seems like such a beast…but I absolutely love Riviera Blue. So, I took some inspiration from the CS and wanted to build towards that.

In my option the car really took on a completely different look with the addition of the Gold CS wheels, gold emblems, v-style lip, and Vorsteiner grille.

Future plans:
-CS coding
-Eventuri Intakes
-Tune
-Upgraded rear exhaust section (still need to figure best options)
-Paint Match Calipers (still on fence)
-LCI Flat bottom steering wheel
-Alcantara Arm rest
-Engine Bay Dress up Goldenwrench/Downstar
-Blue Seat Belts?
-Black Pedal Covers
-Coilovers (haven't decided which to go with)

This color is so cool. Long time lurker on the forum, and been looking to finally pull the trigger on a g80. I need to look into the individual order process more, but dang. This and voodoo blue are really cool, I saw the voodoo on a Porsche before and loved it. But never have seen this color in person, how close would you say they are?

Thank you!

In terms of the individual process. It’s not hard. There’s numerous threads here under ordering that are helpful. But generally you just pick from the colors they have on the Visualizer (can pay more for first time color, but lengthy process). Pay 4500 for it and have a little longer build time.

This is way lighter than voodoo IMO. Also voodoo has more of a purplish tone I think

voodoo is much deeper and purple undertone I think, in direct sunlight it obviously is much lighter. Can't go wrong with any of the Porsche blues
