I do not want to pay the premium for carbon buckets nor do I want to be crawling in and out of them.

EU M240 also get same standard seats as US. From what I have seen, UK is the only market that has Msport seats standard in M240.

The manual G87 test mule the press got to drive was Euro spec, hence they had the "standard" seats.

Known colors for G87 M2: Black Sapphire, Brooklyn Grey, Zandvoort Blue, Toronto Red; interiors: leather Cognac, alcantara/sensatec Black/Blue stitching, and one new design that will be introduced with this model
Ynguldyn seems to think the blue/black base seats are alcantara/sensatec.


Also there is the "new design" for carbon buckets with Merino leather. 99.99% sure that is the M-themed leather on the mules carbon buckets.

Yes, well aware of this. I'm posting what I can find and confirm.

They better offer more colors! Not a fan of those at all.

While it's disappointing, I doubt BMW is gonna cannibalize it's M4 sales by giving the full rainbow of colour options on the M2.

The cars are already way too similar as-is. The cheaper of the two will have to be handicapped somehow and besides a detuned engine, color choices is probably an easy place to start.

Ugh. I'm not drawn to any of the stock colors. Maybe I missed it, any official word on individual paint yet?

Can always wrap it if you want the first edition G87 and those mentioned are the actual colors.

Ultimately it is not worth the investment, especially if one intends to flip/resale/trade.

Doesn't the Hyundai Veloster N have a similar color? On their website they call it "Performance Blue".

No. I think it will look more like Meissen Blue than Gulf Blue.

I think Porsche Meissen Blue looks like a lighter shade of Blue than Zandvoort Blue. From the Porsche configurator, Porsche Gulf Blue looks a little closer to my eyes. Of course light reflections and shadows can change the look or hue of the color. I am also viewing through a calibrated video/photographer monitor that helps normalizing out to true colors.

If Zandvoort is the only different color from the other colors that are literally offered on everything else then I very well might go with it in the event that individual paint is not available at the beginning of production. I will not be happy about it, but it is what it is.

One option, I could forgo my #1 allocation and move to two while hoping individual paint has come online when the time comes to spec my build. I suspect that would delay my PCD into sometime in June/July 2023.

Actually I change my mind I might go with Toronto red over zandvoort blue

Found out that Toronto red is actually more like Toronto orange and I really like an orangey red mix kinda similar to fire orange but less firey

I can tell you that Melbourne Red looks really good on the M240 so I think TR will look great on the G87.
