It’s probably the lighting but the BG looks better on here than any of the other cars I’ve seen it on. Much closer to the Porsche Chalk which I love.

I don't understand the decision to not include a side emblem like all other M cars.

Nothing to say about this, really. It looks like it has an aftermarket body kit on it, and not even a good one. Fenders are cool. But the bumpers and grill need work. Funny how we get our pills busted about how bad people think the grill looks on the G80/82, then BMW comes out with this, and the same people love it.

And the 991.2 looks more like Fashion Gray than anything. Fashion/ Chalk/ Crayon, aren’t even in the same ballpark as Brooklyn Gray.

BG top, Fashion Left, Chalk Right. Fashion and Chalk are both Porsche colors, available as Individual colors on BMW models.

That top car does not look like BG one bit. Just saying.

Maybe it was sitting next to a bright blue car.

This and AW are the colors I like best on this platform so far. Wish they had a darker blue option. Portimao, San Marino, etc.

I share similar feelings. As much as I want the G87, this design just doesn't do it for me. Fingers crossed the LCI will bring a better version of this package. Meanwhile, just waiting for those M2 CS prices to come down a bit more

Another photo of an Individual Chalk F90 that I took at the South Carolina PC last October. A F87C in Hockenheim Silver next to it.

Couldn't agree more. Once the Individual program goes live I'll either go with San Marino or Laguna Seca as my top two choices

Sorry, are you saying you think BG looks like the F90 on the bottom left in Fashion grey?

Sadly LSB is not offered. It is now considered a ‘heritage color’

Meanwhile, that F90 looks miles away from BG to me. Chalk in an off lighting sure, but way too yellow to be BG.

Guess this just shows how colors can be subjective.

2 different cars? Must admit the black wheels always look lost in pics but great in real life.

The gold wheels look awesome here!!

This past weekend I looked at all colors under several lighting conditions and BG IRL looks like a flat gray. In no way shape or form does it have a glossy metallic shine like picture above - that's why I'm saying it's heavily influenced by the glass and adjacent vehicles.

There are certain spots on the car even in this shot that show exactly what I'm talking about: the hood indentation, and rear quarter are examples. You can clearly see how it's much flatter in shade.
