That's true, Toronto is the least pastel (and best imo) color of the original palette, but it does wash out to a somewhat pale orange in certain lighting conditions. I've observed this in person so I know it's not just photos.

Also got mine back from PPF and ceramic yesterday.

Love this color so much. In some dusk lighting, it almost gets a light purple hue to it, it is so neat.

Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but the G87 is giving off some serious Mustang vibes in this color IMO. While it’s a nice color for sure, give me Carbon Black Metallic.

I'll be sure to mention in the CBM thread that I think CBM looks like every other black car I have seen. Just another black car.

Everyone has one.

I just received photos from my SA. My car has been delivered to the dealership 😎. The dealership will install full-body PPF and window tint. This is a Texas order.

Order Placed 06AUG
Delivery Date: 30OCT

Mustang vibes???? Are you smoking peyote?

MCoupin · 11-01-2024, 09:03 PM

Mine is here and picked her up tonight. The wait is over!

As everyone knows, it looks much better in person.

wife-dog-bmw · 11-03-2024, 07:03 AM

FINALLY. My photos are not as good as the rest (iPhone 8 still). I am getting it ceramic coated and tinted this week. I will follow up with better photos.

I was driving home from my office one day over the summer and a guy in a black 1998(roughly) Nissan Pathfinder pulls up next to me while we're doing about 65 on the highway and yells at the top of his lungs, "Broooo!!! That's the sickest Camaro I've ever seen!!!!", and proceeds to take off into the sunset.

curtdragon · 11-03-2024, 04:07 PM

Damn this looks great! I love blue but decided on purple but I'm second guessing lol

lambdalynx · 11-16-2024, 07:35 PM

Picked up mine today. Couldn’t be happier! Coming from a 2010 Subaru STi it feels like driving something from the future.

Whytar · 11-18-2024, 04:37 AM

Stunning! Looks so good in that light too. The front looks so clean with out a license plate stuck to it. I've ordered mine in the exact same specs and should have it towards the end of Dec. Can't wait now seeing your photos.

You do know carbon black metallic is not offered on the M2? Yes sapphire black metallic looks like every other black car, but carbon black with its blue undertone is a pretty cool color
