Thx for this. I was debating between BG with the shadowline trim/black wheels and this with the gold bits/goldish wheels. Gonna go shadowline/black/silver wheels. Decided I’ll get the HP cooling/wheels upgrade.

Try to see one in-person, outside in daylight before you decide to go with BG.

I took a look at one the other day and BG is very different in daylight than in photos.

The dealership got it early and it's bright in the sun.

Bright like it changes colors, or the sunlight washes out the color?

It changes colors kind of like the Brooklyn Grey on the M3/M4. I'm going to post my M3 next to it for comparison.

Your M3 looks great! It looks really good and aggressive next to the M240. The rear end especially is so much nicer on the M3.

Great photos! I think a CF spoiler would also look good on the 240 in BG.

Lightngsvt It is a much paler shade of gray in bright sunlight; a little washed out and very close to the Mineral White color.

Hummmmmm….looks like I’m gonna have to see it in person. I woulda liked a silver. The purple might rise to the top of my choices if the BG doesn’t play nice with me eyes.
