Upon looking into this further I see that it shows the same exact power output for both USA and EUR. That can't be right, since the EU cars will have slightly less power due to the particulate filter. Seems to be just a placeholder to me.

We also have official model code numbers.

EUR LHD Model Code 11DM
EUR RHD Model Code 12DM
USA LHD Model Code 13DM

The data is correct. I intentionally round the numbers when converting from kW to hp.

Then you can keep on wishing because you're never getting a DCT M2.

I hate the primer grey haha!

I'm pretty sure I'd go for Alpine White again. Fourth one in a row. Toronto Red is nice, but red in general is a bit too much for me.

Was never exposed to a manual growing up. All our cars growing up were autos.

Never too late to learn! I learned to drive manual on my first bmw back in 2004

Once you drive one, you'll never wanna go back to an automatic (unless you're going to track it or doing most of your driving in a city or around heavy traffic)

I'm so in love with Isle Of Man Green, I hope I can order it! If not then it's Brooklyn Grey with blue CF buckets.

[atl_1M]

Ideally it would be a nice white or a light color such as Brooklyn but I'm afraid it will only enhance the weird taillights. So I'm hoping for a nice medium tone bright color such as portimao blue.

Fern green???

[txmav83]

sorry for the silly question, but is it possible/likely that they will only offer the G87 in four colors at first?

That's completely understandable. Some people simply may not have been exposed to driving manuals when growing up. There's nothing wrong with that.
I would however highly recommend learning to drive a stick prior to the G87 coming out simply for the fact that this car may be the last truly manual BMW on sale. It probably sounds like a hyperbole but the driving experience is 180 degree going from automatic to manual. I couldn't fathom not having a high performance manual car in the garage. Hell, my wife's car has a DCT, you still put it into drive and it does everything for you. A proper transmission changes the character of the car and makes you want to drive it. If you can rent a cheap miata on Turo or something or have a friend with a manual, rent it for a few days, it will in many ways change your life.

It's possible. I think we'll get 4-5.

I feel like we won't be offered the individual option in the beginning as well.

Is this usual? I thought the Mexican plant supported individual colors, and I can't imagine it adding that much time to the production cycle.
