I'd also go green if it's an option!

Pale Blue Solid (Uni/Non-Metallic)

Oh wow, can't say I'm a fan.

Anything else you'd like to share?

[Bentham]

Going off topic, I just searched on Cars.com, there are 60 new M3 (G80) and 52 new M4 (G82).

There are 244 4 series (coupes and convertibles) new available. 2,693 3 series available.

56 new M8's (across all styles).

People are making appear that the car market is imploding and going into the stone ages. Remember, BMW needs to move metal, and the M's are the higher profit vehicles. If the waiting list is that long for months, people will move into something else, as this is not an exotic car and mass manufactured off of the 2 series/3 series/4 series platform.

That color looked really good on the 2002 BMW Hommage.Hopefully the G87 will incorporate some of the great looking styling features of the Hommage.

Incorrect.

A dealership will post ordered vehicles on their site to generate interest and walk-ins. I can tell you that my store hasn't had a single inventory M3/M4 since their release.

Just checked and there is ONE inventory M3 available in the country (odd build)...at Pacific BMW, in Glendale, CA. People are waiting on these cars.

This is absolutely correct; dealership have months long waiting list even with crazy markups. Just curious, how do you look up new inventory nationwide? BMWUSA only allows 100 miles radius?

I'm an inventory manager at a dealer.

Brooklyn grey on Silverstone or Fiona Red interior

Great choices. I think a bold color like orange/red flows better against Brooklyn. That being said, Silverstone is probably the nicest interior option.

I feel like Brooklyn Gray will be the most popular choice.

Agreed about Brooklyn Grey. It's a nice color, but it's popping up everywhere. You can already get a regular 2er in BG with red.

Personally, I'd be looking at Green/Orange or Blue/Orange. It's going to take a lot to displace my F87C, but if they offer Carbon buckets and roof, with a nice color palette, I'd absolutely consider it.

To be honest, there's not much in the car industry that interests me anymore.

Patiently waiting for someone to leak pictures of this car uncovered. If production begins in December, it's gotta be soon right?? This car is my last hope for looking at anything new to purchase. Otherwise I'll have to look backwards.

Building the cars at my dealer, I feel like I get handed a BG order just about every day. Wait until the G20 LCI hits...

Really wish they made it an exclusive M color.

Honestly would love if they brought back LBB. I'd pair that with Silverstone (or KO).

As recent tradition goes named after a race circuit. Will be interesting to see it on the forthcoming G87 M2.

AFAIK on the BMW 2002 Hommage Concept (2016) (see here and here) the body color was apparently coined "Space Race Metal".

For example (touch up paint):

Reminds me of Silverstone on the E9X M3.

Hold up, is that the first leak of a real image of an M2?? If so, please share more!!

Edit: looking at the spy shots again, the image doesnt seem to align so I'm confused...

It's a design sketch.

Ah, completely missed that. Unfortunately this sketch is much better than the proportions of the rear of the camoflauged car...

[m20e3087]

are they running same wheel specs as M3/4 G80? 19 and 20s. Couldn't make it out from pictures.
