[Poll] Paint Color Selections

Ravenseal · 03-23-2022, 01:55 PM

Curious what color people purchased or ordered their cars in. I've been seeing a lot of Brooklyn Metallic Grey on the internet.

MUFCbmwbear · 03-23-2022, 02:20 PM

Unfortunately, no individual orders for the 2series

I would order Black Sapphire if I ordered today.

Hope Sanremo green & more options are avail next Model Year.

TJZ67201 · 03-23-2022, 04:04 PM

Portimao Blue is my choice (ordered today!!). Nice and dark on cloudy days, but pop and sparkles in the sun. Sooo purdy

Red_sir · 03-23-2022, 04:42 PM

Mine is Alpine White. But I honestly think this car looks great in any colour!

marcsg42 · 03-23-2022, 05:30 PM

Bgm with shadow line and black wheels 😁

drumhorn · 03-23-2022, 05:49 PM

I just don't get the appeal of the grey color to so many people. That would probably be the last color I would pick.

H2O_Doc · 03-23-2022, 05:55 PM

White to avoid the appearance of swirl marks.

marcsg42 · 03-23-2022, 06:46 PM

My opinion is the grey with the black contrast is really nice and aggressive looking and the grey is light enough that you don’t have to wash it every three days to look good and when the sun hits it it’s not gonna show those frustrating swirl marks that bother the crap out of me on my black truck the white is nice,just to common of a color for my taste but my wife wanted white lol

marcsg42 · 03-23-2022, 06:47 PM

Wheres all the Melbourne red heads lol

Saw my first m240i on the road (New Jersey).

Just so happened to be the exact exterior specs Brooklyn Grey Metallic / Black Wheels / Blue Calipers.

Yes! I have BSM and I wish I would of gotten white.

TAZ007 · 03-24-2022, 08:56 AM

I'd wait for Individual and then do Mineral Gray Metallic.

BobHen · 03-24-2022, 10:11 AM

I ordered, Black Sapphire Metallic with Cognac Interior and Red Brake Calipers. If Tanzanite blue were offered for the M240i, I would have selected that color.

My current 2019 BMW 330i is Mineral White and IMO it’s one of the nicest whites out there. New Mineral White owners you will love that color.

If I lived in say sunny California, I think I would have opted for Thundernight. But here in PA, most of our days are cloudy and metallic colors can lose some/most of their metallic pizazz without the sun, reverting to more of a flat color. IMO, metallic blacks, whites, grays or silvers look/holdup better under cloud cover.

I ordered with Brooklyn Grey, but just looked at BGM next to Portimao Blue and changed my order. So far it all seems hypothetical though as getting an allocation is taking forever!

Ravenseal · 03-29-2022, 03:43 PM

Very tight race between black, grey, blue, and purple.

ryo- · 03-29-2022, 06:12 PM

I ordered mineral white but the brooklyn gray is growing on me.

Dayum that looks like the exact spec I ordered, looks nice! How did you mount the front plate, tow hook?

I used Sly Brackets with the leveling plate. I agree that it all turned out GREAT!!

DriftKing860 · 03-29-2022, 10:22 PM

Which slybracket did you get to fit? Do the clamps scratch the grill that it attaches too?
