2016 M4 Coupe colors?

Does anyone know if they will have new colors for the M4 that is releasing or if the body will change at all?

Want to know if its a good idea to order a 2015 M4 or wait until the 2016 one releases.

Any info will be very helpful.

Thank You

I'm hoping Donnington gray becomes available. I like Mineral gray and silverstone but this is kind of in between and an M specific color.

As for body changes, no not any most likely.

BMW ALWAYS changes something. Whether it be options available, how options are packaged, colors, etc. Look at the F10 5 series. Something changed EVERY year between 2011, 2012 and 2013 before the 2014 LCI came out. Available colors, what MSport consisted of, whether or not the sport package existed, the addition of lines, etc.

It would be great if the M3 and M4 also picked up the other new M-specific color, Long Beach Blue, to replace Yas Marina Blue.

I hope so! Not because I don't like YMB, but if it, and AY were first year only colors I would be cool with that

My favorite bmw color is Leguna Seca Blue. I really love YMB color also. Next year I heard is BMW 100th anniversary. Im guessing they'll have some crazy options available

If you want the car just go ahead and buy it. Thats my opinion. Who knows whats going to be up in 8 months when the 2016s hit dealers.

I think Space Gray is boring compared to MG. I would rather have Singapore Gray or Monte Carlo Blue options.

Well I certainly can't argue with you about Singapore Grey. I have one.

I'm surprised you could read my dumbass post with SG used for two different colors. Kudos lol. Fixed above.

Second at one too, Donington Grey on M4 would be awesome!

Can't believe they would get rid of AY or YMB so quickly, as it just came out but frankly wish they would shelf SO, my color of choice, to add more exclusivity to my M. I would think AY & YMB owners might feel the same way?

Singapore Grey is awesome, I'd love it on an F80.

They need to ditch YMB and add a better blue like IG, LMB, or MCB.

I'd really like Monte Carlo Blue but just don't want to swing the $5000 up-charge for it.

San Marino Blue wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

I don't even hate YMB I'd be "O.K." with it. My wife on the other hand hates it. She on the other hand loves MCB - me too.

Yeah MCB is gorgeous. When we went to buy our X1 a couple weeks ago they had an MCB M5 and my wife says 'Thats the color you should buy'. And I'm like I WISH!

YMB to me looks way better on the F80 than the F82. I just don't feel it on the M4.

I have to tip my hat to those that can shell out $5k for a color and feel good about it, but personally I can't see it. Even the $550 is tough to accept, and white being the only free bee left for cars that run 70k. At least give them black back, gratis!

Yeah I still cannot believe Jet Black isn't an option.

I agree, Donnington would be a fantastic addition to the current selection. I had a Silverstone e93 M3 and my last car was close to Mineral Gray in color, would love a third Gray-hued option for the M3/M4.

Funny almost the same experience. The dealer has a YMB M4 Vert. I just wanted my wife to see the car but not the color per se. So as stated loves the car hates the color. But in the same showroom is an X5M in MCB to which she is immediately drawn.

For some reason I think all the flashy colors look better on the M3. Though YMB on an M4 Vert is nice.

Not my car dealer car:



I do also think it's strange that there is not more solid colors at no up-charge. Red seems to be most missed.
