That makes no sense and I am susprised that somebody can even say that

Got tired of waiting for a purple to be confirmed and went and picked up this super sexy Daytona Violet F80 M3. Looks like I ended up making the right decision after all

I’m quite torn about this. I have a G82 ‘24 comp X-drive which I really like but the ‘25 in BSM with the red highlight interior instantly brings me back to the first performance car I ever owned way back in 1995. (A black 1994 stripper Z28 with black and red cloth interior that I modded like crazy).

I’d have to see it in person but it’s seems like a fresh alternative to the ///M color highlighted seats

How about an outstanding gray over all the soft pastel colors

Black, Red and the two frozen colors are the only seriously bold colors in rhe entire pallet of colors being offered

And they still haven’t even got that right. At least give us a dark gray, BMW! Give us mineral gray please.

Mineral Grey or Limerock grey would be awesome- but you can see BMW just do a rotation of greys they have in the rest of the range, and not introduce new colours for just 1 model

This car would look so damn good in Mineral Grey, but it's never going to happen.

I had a space grey E91, when I saw mineral grey space grey looked so outdated. Now when I see skyscraper I feel the same about mineral grey.

Skyscraper is a much more dynamic and metallic grey. Can’t wait to see the G87 in this colour.

It's definitely a more interesting color. I just wish it was a little darker.

In my opinion, the new exterior colors for 2025 are no good (except Fire Red may be) and BMW has already done damage to their reputation with these new grills and awkward looking EVs.

There are already too many grays and blues in every BMW build. We need:

BRG, Irish or urban Green (one good green at least)
Imola Red
Atacama Yellow
Space Silver Metallic

Also hoping to see some Cerium gray front grill and wheels so black could good with some contrast. This would make the black exterior a new favorite color.

Time for BMW to start showing off good looking cars on the streets!

My local dealer had a 5 series in Vegas Red and said I should stop by and see what Vegas Red looks like in person. I walked away not very impressed. It did not look all that great to me. Just an ordinary metallic red. I think I will go with Alpine White and go for the Stormtrooper look.

Agreed.

I like Vegas Red on something like a 5 or 7 series, but it doesn’t suit the M2 at all in my opinion.

My friend who's seen one in person said it's basically a worse version of Mazda Soul Red. Definitely not in the same spirit as Toronto Red or the M2.
