I love Voodoo Blue and Java Green, would be a tough choice but I'd probably take the blue.

There is an older Java Green M4 in my area and it looks good but a bit much for me. I would go purple probably or stick with BG but the blue is nice.

I’m beating a dead horse at this point but BMW continues to demonstrate that I’m not the intended demographic for this car with something as simple as color choices. I’m not spending $70k and not getting a color I’m stoked about. I know it’s not making a difference given the generally positive reception to these colors, but it is disappointing. |

I think all of the unhappy interior and exterior color folks on this site just need to admit they need a G80/G82. The G87 checks all my boxes and then some. It's a 2-series ///M - it will NEVER have all the options as the M3/M4. BMW spends a LOT of money and time thinking up new ways on how to urge certain demographics into the "next step up." The unhappy folks need to face they need the next step up or just deal with the more limited options. Complaining about it here ad nauseum will not do ANYTHING to change anything.
I personally love the black interior and the fact they have REAL blue options. They didn't at launch. NO WAY I'd drive the ZB. Now they have 3 blue options - I'm thrilled! I also hated the F87's single "blue" choice of LBB. Which is more teal than blue. OR, wait til next year for the LCI/Comp/CS which will probably bring/delete colors.

Thank you BMW! Techno over Twilight sounds like a sleek choice. Nice choice on the M2 for your next ride, Lurking on the G87 forums sounds exciting. Decisions, decisions! Voodoo or Java, huh? Love my greens too but switching it up from an loMG M3 sounds like a fun change.

One must pay homage to the godfather. Get the M2 in Java Green Metallic. Thunder Night is a close second.

I'm disappointed. I was holding out hope that Individual would come along and Cognac wouldn't have died for nothing. I'm thrilled that you're happy with loud and ostentatious colors. I wish I could be as well. I could save some money if I had poorer tastes. |

I'll blend in amongst the hoards of Subarus, Civics, Highlanders, F-150s etc.

If there is no Individual and no Cognac, I just won't get an M2. I was trying to stay under $2k (with insurance) on my next car. I've already talked to my wife and got the OK to spend a little more if it will mean I (we) get the colors we want. I don't want to blend in with Subarus. I don't want to blend in at all. But I don't like the colors because I prefer subtle colors that aren't boring blacks, whites, etc. I like metallic earth tones. I'm not surprised they aren't available, but when Tag mentioned 409 as potentially coming, then I got a little more excited. And if it's not, then I'm not getting an G87, and I will make peace with that. |

I can afford an M4, but the value proposition of the G87 made me like it more than just the car itself. Really felt like a "bargain," and who doesn't love that? But I've bought enough clothes on clearance in colors I didn't like to know that I just shouldn't buy the thing to begin with, and that's increasingly how I feel with the G87, and that's the disappointment. I've already emailed BMW to express that disappointment, even if that's shouting into the void the same with this is. Saying "Admit it, you need an M4" is pretty unhelpful. I know an M4 will do what I want, but I was excited by the prospect of saving a buck. Instead of suffering the ambiguity I may as well put a finer point to it. |

Bold colors really shine on the M2. Don’t know if I could personally justify paying $3k+ for any of these colors, but hopefully enough people will order them in equal parts so I can admire them on the road
If money were no object though, I’d want one of each Well, apart from the purple. That, I’d be happy just to stare at from across the street
