“F you, got mine” or “F all of you, I will never get mine but I’ll continue to be here name calling all of you”?
I have many friends here but also have many on my ignorant (ignore) list…

People often put theironey where their mouth is.
Nobody suggested that literally zero people will order a bright color, but that the vast majority will choose black, white, or grey.

The result is no matter how many people say they want to get a bright color, most won’t follow through and none of these colors will end up being “common” in the wild.

Actually, I believe it’ll be the other way around. These will be super popular and the nice normal colors will be more rare.

This thread reeks of "Fuck you, got mine"
Lots of complaining, "I can't get brown interior", "I can't get a green convertible in an auto..." It appears that you think you should be able to get a bespoke performance car for $70k. These are mass produced cars, and as my grandma always told me, you don't always get everything you want.

You obviously don't like what BMW has to offer, so go buy something else. Seems pretty simple

This. I had sympathy for him initially but every other post has been a whine. Getting quite tiresome to read.

At this point he's just beating a dead horse. Either accept reality or move on and get something else. When I was considering MY24 vehicles, I was fully prepared to accept a color that wasn't my first choice, provided I can get a deal. it's just a color and as long as it wasn't my least favorite, what's the big deal? For context you can't do custom orders where I'm at so you just have to pick from what the dealers have on stock each month if you wanted the car. and if it really bothered me that much I would have moved on from the G87.

Starting to wonder if him and the multi patent engineer from the other thread are the same guy.

Who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m just going off of the past 14 months of production at the store I work at.
We’ve only had one person order Toronto red, one frozen portimao, maybe two zandvoort blue, and the rest black, white or Brooklyn grey.

Maybe if you live in south Florida where bright colors are generally more popular, then the statistics would be different.

Some people just like ruffling feathers, but they're too timid to do it in real life. Anonymous forums become an outlet for them.

Speaking of which, I need to block one in particular user here who always has something negative to say or questions everything. Guy is suuuuper annoying. Won’t oust his name since he’s on this thread also.

Can't be the same guy, one of them is just kicking dirt while rambling complaints while the other is a terrible person all around.

Voodoo reminds me Porsche's Shark blue. It's a nice shade of light blue, but it seems to be a prevalent color with multiple manufacturers these days. Twilight looks really nice, but I prefer the deep purple represented by Thundernight (TN).

I would be all over Java in a heartbeat. I have Valencia orange and TN already in the stable with a Space grey 328iT being the neutralizer.

So, I obviously do not shy away from bold, vibrant colors.

Yeah, you're going to stand out more especially with the constabulary elements, but that causes you to temper yourself, and use good discernment to avoid any issues.

Don't know at the moment if I am willing to substitute TN for JG, but I'm not in the market at the moment, so I can kick the can for a couple more years.

Attached are a few more pics of JG surrounding the 1 M aka "green mamba"

I'd like to know what goes into color choices for manufactures. No doubt some sick colors but there are colors that if available people would flock to yet they never make an appearance. BRG, Fashion grey, dakar yellow, fire orange, hellrot, SMB. Seems like it would be an easy sell, I know a few people who dont like the look of the g87 but given the option for these better colors would probably buy one.

They strike me as either trolls or boomers who just figured out how to post online and are completely oblivious to how their posts are perceived by others. Either way we should all move on and stop giving them attention.

Without googling the color I would instantly sell my M2 to get something in whatever the fuck hellrot is.

Nm, googled color and not a red person… that name though

I just think folk should get whatever suits them.

I didn't order a car until I could see the new colors for MY25.

I'm not hating on folks that want white, black or grey; it's just not my cup of tea.

I don't like the interior options but I realize they aren't doing individual interior for any market so I understand if I want a car, I can have any interior as long as it's black. Very much like Henry Ford.

So I figure my Twilight Purple M2 with carbon package and 6 speed won't be as rare as my i4 M50 in Tanzanite II with full merino tartufo interior, but it will be unusual.

And I have sat in the cabon buckets. I think I'll live. It's easier to swap a pair of carbon buckets for something else vs wanting carbon buckets later.

Y’all don’t disappoint. I’m just here for the best entertainment on the forum. Please proceed…

By the way, I would’ve killed for all of these amazing color options for my F87.

if java green was a option when I ordered I would've had to think long and hard about it, still so thankful the frozen portimao popped up a couple weeks before I got locked into a build because the options before that were kind of bleak(for me), was having to choose between a bunch of "meh" options then BMW gave me a out with one I actually love. People ordering '25 are spoiled for options
