I think I may go the individual color route and either go for one of these oranges or blues (miami, voodoo, or riviera). I think the oranges will stick out a bit more which is fine but it may be a little too much.

Yeah I agree.. for 5k it may be worth it. I just hope they clean up all this production delay stuff. I think individual paint on the G80 delays order by like 2-3 months to an already long process. There was a guy on YouTube and here that ordered imola red which is one of my favorites but he said it took forever to get. Also, it's so close to Toronto red which makes it even harder to pay the premium plus the wait. I would rather get a standard optioned color and then add carbon buckets and the carbon roof for the same money

Individual for the M3/M4 right now is at $3750 with the M Anniversary discount. This car could be less.

Good to know.. man I can't wait for this car to come out

Alpine and one of the blacks are always a given. I will add Skyscraper Grey and Isle Man Green to your list.

Both would be tempting.

You're not wrong with at least four of the five colours.

Okay so Toronto Red has to be gone. I feel like the others are a sure bet.

I thiught Toronto Red was confirmed with the screenshots posted in this thread. So that leaves Brooklyn Grey up in the air if anything.

I would be good with Brooklyn Grey not making the cut as the color does very little for me.

id love to do skyscraper with Tatufo leather (no carbon buckets for me) but cant see tartufo being offered on the M2 even though it is on the M3 and M4. Skyscraper with fiona red or silverstone would be great second options. Somehow think we are just going to get black

LivingInSalt · 07-24-2022, 12:25 AM

Brooklyn Grey on an M2 would be a travesty. The color just couldn’t be more bland.

soflacarguy · 07-24-2022, 03:01 AM

Not many appear to be fans of Zandvoort Blue. That's understandable after the leaked pic.

That being said - unless we get isle of man green or skyscraper gray, its the color I'll be ordering.

Personally, Id rather put the dollar amount needed to option individual paint towards Xpel ppf.

I couldn’t agree more, I really enjoyed Hockenheim Silver on the F87 though.

In the main G87 thread, another insider mentioned BG is an option. This could just be a different red.

I saw a light blue Hyundai veloster today and got reminded of this thread.

I don't mind that color and if zandvoort blue were equivalent then "fine by me". Might still not be my cup of tea but I wouldn't call it bland.

BUT the video of the 2002 homage edition looked like an even lighter / paler blue than the veloster.

I guess I'll just wait and see. Exciting!

This is definitely not gonna happen. Why would they pull a civic type R when the m240i already had plenty of options. I wish the opposite, I hope they have red seats, white seats, it’s probably gonna be akin to the g8x in options.

I for sure am getting mine in Toronto red. Otherwise I’ll just wrap it red. They won’t release a modern m car without it so I’m betting on it.

Why? Bc they did that on the f87 M2. And we've only seen black interior so far on all the press and prototype cars.

Yeah that must've been a typo on my part. I want all of the G80 options on this car.

That being said, I could totally see BMW giving us nothing but black.

I think we might see one or two additional colour options in the cabin, depending on the seats. Just remember that they're very likely not going to come up with a new shade - just re-using whatever's already available in the 2 Series.

For instance, M Sport Seats in the G42 can only be had in Vernasca Black or Cognac.

Mineral white would be nice. Most people haven't seen it, at least lately. I had it on my '96 328iS. Pretty cool shade!
