🇮🇲 Isle of Man green! FTW!

I'm hoping my country does me proud and it's a bright 'Grabber Lime' kind of 'Monster' green vs a British racing green.

No just that when the reveal takes place at the normal time, it will only be 11:30 PM on the west coast of the US. So technically US folks in that time zone will see it tonight instead of tomorrow morning.

  • Some G80 details:

    Colors: Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Dravit Grey, Portimao Blue, Tanzanite Blue, Isle of Man Green, Sao Paolo Yellow, Toronto Red.

    Interiors: black, orange/black, blue/black (merino leather, partial or full).

    The M specific sport seats will be standard, but there will also be optional CF bucket seats (seen in the latest spy photo), available also in the U.S.

    Speaking of carbon fiber, there'll be much more CF trim available without the need to go to the performance catalog.
Toronto Red please and thank you very much.

Is the interior just the standard options? I'd want a nice Amaro brown on either the new green (if its dark) or the yellow pending its similar to austin yellow

I'm not sure Tanzanite Blue will be a standard metalic color like Black Sapphire or Portimao Blue. I guess it will still be part of the Individual palette.

Portimao... meh. It's nice, but on the standard G20 and San Marino would have been awesome.

Tanzanite... meh. I wish there was a more special blue available.

Isle of Man Green - Interested to see this one. I bet it's a deep metallic green. That color is very popular right now in fashion and interior design. And I'm pretty sure the upcoming iPhone to be unveiled this week will have this color as an option.

Sao Paolo Yellow - If I were a betting man, I'd say it's close to Austin Yellow. At least I hope so. It's probably my favorite color BMW has introduced recently even though I'm usually not a big fan of yellow cars. It has a kind of concept car color look to it. I don't think a Dakar-esque yellow would really fit on a car as big as the G8x as a standard color.

Toronto Red - Too orangey for me. Why BMW doesn't want to make a normal red M car is beyond me. Imola is awesome...

Also curious to see what shade of blue they use for a two-tone seats. Maybe similar to the Lemans seats on the E39 M5?
Comments on red are spot on. Immola desperately needs to return.

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.
If they made AW a standard individual option they would probably make a ton of money.

Maybe in Toronto they think it's red?


So I wonder if the seats are mainly black or the colors on the two tone

Guessing orange/black is the same as X3M with Sakhir orange and black inserts.

Wonder which exterior the blue will compliment.

Anyone who is thinking about carbon race buckets, go over to Rennlist and read the reviews from Porsche owners.

Net/net on most folks feedback - amazing for the track, terrible for a daily.
