Matte PPF might be a good way to tame that color for daily driving, otherwise you're probably right.

Guess they didn't want to have to manually paint them like they are doing with the door handles. One less part to worry about.

Appreciate the reply, I wasn't sure what people meant but had heard that same sentiment from a few others. I can totally get that

I'm nearly invisible in the Z06 and I'm a minor celebrity in the Supra. There are definitely days where attention can get tiring.

I have a color shift wrap on my current car and it really sucks on the days you are just trying to get somewhere quick because that's the day everyone wants to stop and talk about it.

Worst part is getting stuck in a drive thru and there's a line of cars behind you and you feel like the asshole holding everyone up.

Dealers around me are getting 2025s just now. There is a SPY G87 I would love to see in person but its a ways out:
https://www.bmwvilledequebec.com/neu...d11206375.html

Would look much better with the CF roof.

Also found Skyscraper grey.

+1 - I seriously considered yellow but they are difficult to resell. I've seen M3/4s in that color sit on the market for months

YES...fun car, fun color. That being said, if you are not comfortable then get something that you feel comfortable with. For me, I have always had cars that "blend" in. I want something different and not too worried about the attention as I will be mostly driving to work and back and it will always be parked in a garage so it can't be messed with.

I was considering getting that before deciding on the M2.

I was thinking it would be a pain for her getting in and out of an M2 so thought getting something like a CPO X5 M50/60i. It would be easier on her but would still be pretty sporty. My wife did talk me out of it and said that I should get what makes me happy (M2) and I could use her Q3 for my mom (god bless her).

Anyway, through all that rambling, I basically was trying to say I like the X5 and wanted to get your thoughts lol.
I have an MX5 (Miata) so I think that would be even worse than the M2 for getting your mom around although I'm sure she would find it very enjoyable once in. Getting out might be the issue.

Probably a really dumb question but Voodoo blue on the M2 is the same Voodoo Blue that's offered on the M3 and M4, right? Only reason I'm asking is cause the color is looking a little different in the Instagram pics vs pics of M3's and M4's posted in the G80 forum.

if i do another G87 this is the color.

Sidenote, those radiator/intercooler protection grids look way more robust than the pre LCI cars...

See if there's improved oil cooler protection underneath before all of us buy skid plates

Voodoo Blue is the same color regardless of model.

Nah we should see some by November.

If my Grigio will be here in November, which I’m pretty confident it will, then I’m sure other Idividual colors will begin arriving at the same time.

Yellow!

This thing in matte with some proper wheels and a little lip kit will go pretty hard!

I like yellow on someone else’s car. It does look good. I just couldn’t do it. Has to be black wheels, carbon roof though. As much black as possible
