8 weeks since build and my LCI is on the drive. The colour is so hard to take a photo of. In person it really does pop under any kind of light. The remapping from OG to LCI is kinda noticeable and it doesn't pull as much in idle. They forgot to install the rear M calliper covers.

You only waited eight weeks to get the car even though you optioned an individual color?

👍Vegas is the pick for the G87 imo. Twilight is tempting too.
Quite a few nice colours to choose from now (unlike the F87).

I really liked Vegas in some of these pics and vids and I went to dealer and saw it on another model and while it looks good, some angles it just looked like a regular red car. Wasn’t blown away. They also had had a Skyscraper, Isle of Man Green and they were all nice but the show stoppers were a Marina Bay Blue M5 and X5. MBB is an incredible color. Wish it was an option for G87

Saw vegas on multiple cars at the dealer when picking up my car. It's by no means a bad color, but it really does look like a run of the mill mid-dark metallic red found on any number of brands and is on a lot of different bmw models.

I saw it on an i5 (I think that’s what it’s called) and was not impressed but it does look good on the M2 in my opinion. I think it depends on the car.

Having a Marina Bay Blue X3MC, I concur with your assessment

It was TP, then he flirted with JG and even VB but then he thought, what the hell and switched it back to TP. Woke up the next day, flirted with Vegas Red, but as of late he's gone back to TP. Don't know how long this will last, next week he might cancel his M2 and just get an M4.

I kid, I kid, just giving you a hard time Ronin76
