Color is so personal. Opinion on the palette is just that... in my opinion it is more expressive than the f80
I agree on your finer point that color choice is, indeed, personal and what looks good is subjective.

No speed cloth this gen?

Disappointed in no silver option at launch, but we'll see what gets added for individual.

I could see myself getting the grey.

I saw Toronto red on an X3M at the weekend, and I have to say I was underwhelmed, it was quite flat, and orange looking.

Much prefer the deeper Red’s such as imola or melbourne.

Silverstone over speed cloth would be my vote... even Hockenheim Silver would've been cool, too, but it seems only leather will be available.

I might actually consider going blacked out for the first time ever lol but do I want to maintain a black daily again?? I have AW now and it's great but I like to change it up a bit.

I’d take Portimao Blue or Tanzanite Blue, but what’s up with the lack of gray and white interior options? I’m also curious as to what kind of trim options we will get.

At least we’ll be seeing the grilles tomorrow.

It shouldn't be surprising since nearly every modern BMW in its standard form (barring special editions et al) has been offered with Alpine White.

The M3/M4 is no exception. Every generation going back to the E30 has been available with Alpine White.

Quite frankly, it would be surprising if the opposite were to happen, where Alpine White ceases to become a choice on the list of available colors.

In keeping with BMW M3 tradition, there has to be at least one crazy intro color. I guess that would be São Paulo Yellow? I couldn’t find an image of it or Isle of Man Green

You and me both bud.... I'm up in September 2020... and at the rate BMW's going with this release I'm skeptical.

I'm excited to see Tanzanite Blue as part of the standard pallete, though I paid more for it on my F80... I dont know if I want the same color again. I love it, but feel like maybe I should change it up?

I'd consider that Gray... but who am I kidding... i'll end up with Blue or Black... i always do lol.

They still offer the lease extension if you're waiting for a model, don't they? I think it was up to six months?

BMW only has eyes for orange this decade. In 5-10 years you will easily be able to pick out a bmw from the 2010s...

Surprised that Portimao Blue makes the M list.

Overall however , this is more than the greyscale plus blue and funky orange of the last few years.


Isle of Man Green should be interesting...
