I changed my mind, I'm going Tomato Red. It will still work with frozen gold wheels, and it definitely hides some lines and will look nice with a ceramic job.

Red calipers and M Highlight seats.

Pretty positive that isn't TR...and is probably imola red. Oddly enough, I have the exact same build M4 at my dealer. Red/red buckets.

Just saw an X3 Comp in TR and the color really pops on a cloudy day when the car is clean. Definitely looked like a color worthy of an M car, bold without being loud like SPY...

She is indeed. Order bank is set for TR. But BG or BSM with cognac interior are calling my name. Still so undecided.

Thank you so much for posting this video. This really helps. I think Geoff is a little blind, as I am in love the with M2 design, but hey different strokes for different folks.

TR looks stunning in this video.

As someone who has TR spec'ed currently in the order bank, BG looks better to me than the TR in this video

it does look quite good. that's the color the wife wants. father in law has an M4 comp in BG already though. That might make things awkward.

That is the very reason my car is only driven by the service tech

LOL and I'm literally thinking the opposite. I have BG and I think the TR is tempting.

I don't normally like black wheels but these pictures have got me questioning my choice of bicolour! Maybe it is because BMW have ramped up the red.

Clearly TR is a good choice that photo has 39000 likes lol

JustinHEMI · 12-15-2022, 09:52 PM

Yeah, gosh, I think I'm back on black wheels and shadowline with TR.

Jesus they need to let me put a real order in, all the back and forth is killing me.

VIERsr · 12-16-2022, 12:06 AM

Please go and see TR in person, otherwise it will be a huge disappointment when you'll see your new faded red car.
It is a completely different red from the beautiful one seen in these pics, Bmw is running a scam by showing these photos on its official channels.

The colors, exterior paint, interior, and wheels are the only thing I have I have not altered. I am still on the fence about switching my interior color. Luckily have a couple more weeks to decide, but the window is definitely narrowing.

It does appear washed out under direct sunlight. I have often stated that, but the reality is we have been given a fairly mediocre color palette to choose from and those of us that want our cars ASAP will have to settle. BTW, BG and ZB also appear washed out under direct sunlight as well. AW and BSM are the only colors that come with no surprises.

You nudge me towards AW just a little bit more every time you state this obvious fact, not sure if my TR/Cognac selection can survive much longer
