M4 GTS in FDGM or BSM

drewbmw · 04-07-2017, 12:55 AM

Which looks better and why?

BSM is my favorite color for the GTS. It makes the whole car look less "busy". I find the aero add-ons blend-in much better and the orange accents more subtle.

Agreed, the black is much much better

I'm chiming cause I have FDG. It's beautiful and actually easy to maintain. Black is awesome but pain in the ass to take care of.

I agree with this. Had black M5 and M3. Then had a Frozen Silver M3. Frozen is so easy to keep looking good. Once you wax it you just drive home, rinse off, use leaf blower to blow off most of the drops and park it. Can go a month easily without really having to wash it and most folks won't notice. Black looked good for the first 5 minutes after a wash before you drove it.

Not a huge fan of black cars but it looks amazing on GTS. I think it's the best color available for GTS.

Never thought FGM was so easy to maintain since I really don't wash the car very often.

I agree with this.

But really it's like do you prefer blondes or brunettes?

Dark frozen grey. BMW makes every damn car they make in black, frozen grey kills it! Also, you will have a color that is quite rare.

Agree with the FDGM exclusivity part. Just don't get it scratched as it is a pain to blend in case of partial repaint. Black is stunning on the gts but awful to keep clean. It would get me crazy.
I hesitated between FDGM and white and got white (looks great and no maintenance) but FDGM was a close second.

FYI the 'rarest' color on the GTS is in fact BSM!

Powaup · 04-08-2017, 01:43 PM

Bsm

I'm not referring.to how many black GTS cars, i'm referring to their entire fleet. Everybody and their brother has a black bmw. Hey to each his own, the car looks great in all 4 colors, but Frozen grey is quite special.

I think black works well with the orange, I can't wait for Halloween!
