F**k - white is fire too. I’d probably go for a white if I didn’t already have two white cars in the driveway.

You can get them for $16XX and R&I yourself. There is an advantage to that as well as you get to keep the body colored factory mirror caps. You lose them when port installed.

It looks like the cheap copy that China would make and sell over there.

IMHO, the white looks meh, but to me, all of the colors look meh. I'm sticking with my BG, bi-color wheels, and some overpriced CF stuff to make it go faster.

For those of you that are thinking about waiting, why not just get the least offensive (to you) color and tell your $tealer that you'll trade it back to them once you can order the car in a proper color. I've pretty much done that. If nothing else, when the time comes, I'll be able to decide if I have to have an M2 in a nice blue, or something else with 3 pedals instead.

I think black hides the odd design elements the best - hassle of upkeep aside BSM would be my choice

You can see less of it.
When you are working with ugly design features, its best to hide them with black.

I agree, I love the f87, it's a beautiful car. The g87 has a wider stance and different presence. They are very different designs, which i personally think is great.

Interesting…The turn indicator is part of the halo. I never noticed that before.

Yep they're different beasts for different folks. Loved the F87 2 years ago. Love the G87 now. It's all love here.

Arghh! I must stop looking at pics, as the design has definitely grown on me now! I'm usually not a black wheel fan, but in white it seems like the black wheels just fit better. Also for those who have seen it in person, does the wheel gap really look that large or is it actually similar to the F87?

Definitely has more wheel gap then my original F87.You will notice the difference for sure but it wouldn't stop me from getting one.
