Blue interiors are the absolute worst.

Yeah, I can't imagine it would be a production individual (read cheap-ish individual) type option, but I'm wondering if it will be possible from and individual standpoint down the line, or if they'll only have yellow ever as an interior accent for the G8x.

You could do weird things with different colors with individual currently, like combining blue, sakhir, and beige on different parts of the interior if you wish (granted likely wouldn't be approved), plus you could pick certain body colored trim accents, so I could see them making it possible to have a body colored leather, albeit at a $15k or so price tag.

They had to fly people in and have them quarantine in NY for 15 days before the event or use local people who did not need to quarantine.
Everyone was wearing masks. They cut out the hot laps at the end. You had the option of driving alone or with a passenger.

So people at this event who don't reside in NYC had to quarantine for 15 days!?

It looks so much better in person (with the big grill). They could not confirm AWD as that would technically “leak” info before the unveil.

I think I would really have liked the seat color combo if the blue was black. I.e a full black interior with exterior color match were this show car is São Paulo yellow. A bit like color coded stitch but much more visible to give some oomph to the black interiors.

I’m person, the interior looks way better than the pictures. And if you darken the windows... one kick-ass modified individual car... probably one of one .

It’s a shame it already had swirl marks on the hood. Where is the OG when you need them? Lol

He's referring to the staff.

I believe they weren't letting people in from any of the restricted states, though: https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/co...ravel-advisory

The color, the car or both?

The banana peel color was horrendous but not as mind blowingly ugly as the front end.

The rear, meh. Nothing special and the badge was missing oddly enough.

I was at today's session, a great looking car, and you do get used to the big grills

Saw the M3 today in Belgium, Frozen Grey competition, the car is awesome, the grill is perfect, don't get the haters 👌👍

Nice! This would be third variant seen, was it an M4 or M3? Any different features you noted vs the descriptions of the green M3 and yellow M4?

Bmw BELUX has 2 cars

Frozen Grey M3 (I saw that one)
Isle of Man Green M4 (didn't see it yet)

Honestly, it's brutal and the older generation is going to be destroyed once they release this one.

Can't wait for my car ��

Just saw the M4 minutes ago at Monticello now.
Waiting for the class to start so just a short blerb. Pretty much in line with what others saw .

SPY looked like it had a little lime green in it. Maybe the fluorescent lights had an effect. The car is big, like M6 big. The front end is entirely too busy, and that grille....is very in-your face. I must say though, it doesn't look as big as in pictures (maybe the contrast of black against SPL). The grille had an M4 Competition badge on front, but none on back. The BMW NA rep said it was not a AWD model

The black shiny bits do look a little cheap. The lower rocker panel looked very aftermarket. Not bad if the car was black. The side profile isn't bad, just those discontinuous door lines are disturbing. Then there's that hood sans the power dome. I don't get it. Yes, reminiscent of a Charger.

ok . gotta go. cheers!

That M5 was an interesting green

Yeah they are. My dad has blue on blue Aston Martin vert (blue car, blue top and blue interior) and it's something else.

[SIVLE_M3]

Just saw it in person at M Track Day looks like a Lexus RCF... BIG Disappointment but the interior is amazing.

[OF Hero]

Frozen grey....is this another potential launch color?

Can you be a little more specific about the good and bad in and out?

I was there too and saw it. It really looks nothing like a BMW. The car just doesn't flow with design cues from several other non-BMW cars.

The front is a mess, but definitely makes a statement, what kind I don't know. The huge grille does appear a bit smaller since it does curve a bit on top and bottom (IMO the 1 dimensional pictures make it appear flatter, hence larger). The BMW emblem sits in a depression between the center of the grille, with the 2 Dodge Charger darts above them.

The side view has a lot of Mustang and Lexus and Infiniti elements.The door line is sloppy; it runs from the rear quarter panel stops under the door handle towards the center of the door, then breaks, then continues a few inches down. to the front quarter. The top of hood looks passive from the side with no power dome. The lower rocker panel has the black shiny skirts that might flare out about 1-2 inches? Look like decent aftermarket pieces, would be better in matte or carbon.

The rear is not bad, nice, larger diameter exhaust tips, aggressive diffuser but tail lights scream Lexus.

I will admit the interior (from what I could see) was very nice and upscale. The seats looked like true racing seats, but maybe uncomfortable. The bolstering looked very padded and there was a maybe 2" x 4" carbon piece between your legs. A lot of carbon on the dash and console looked high end.

This is the best to my memory ( I got there early and was able to see it twice, once before drive and once after). I wouldn't call it horrible though, just a very different departure from BMW.

I'm also going to UDE today at Metlife for Autocross and will report back on thoughts of M3 IOM Green. cheers!

off topic edit add: so I drove the 911 up there (great 2+ hour drive each way) and wanted to add that on the way back, a dbag in a black modded M2 was egging me on, I wasn't in the mood for driving like an ahole to prove a point (and my better 1/2 said no! lol) , however a blue M5 Comp saw the festivities and took the bait and destroyed him from what I could see. Not worth losing your license (or killing someone) over weaving in and out of traffic at 100+ like a db. Short spurts are ok, but save the hardcore stuff for the track!

Appears to be urban green.

Wonder if that was the color combo the OP saw?

Oh wow!
