Haven't seen any pics of Melbourne red on the G42 so here it is.

Very nice!

jmase248 · 11-23-2021, 07:53 PM

I think this is my second favorite color that the car comes in.

Awesome spec

psuibmw · 11-26-2021, 08:12 PM

Color looks really nice and suits the car well

I also like the two E36s in the back

CCM11285 · 11-26-2021, 09:46 PM

Looks really good in MR

nathanm4 · 11-27-2021, 04:04 PM

Looking great!

Red Bread · 11-27-2021, 04:10 PM

Really looks nice. Seems like it would be impossible to pick Bucky the Beaver 4er over this.

///M TOWN · 11-27-2021, 04:38 PM

Probably second to Black Sapphire Metallic

No kidding

Beautiful color, acceptable front end, horrible rear end. Kia Rio looks better from the back.

sikotic · 11-27-2021, 05:45 PM

I wonder if IND can make a new grill insert for that more in line with the M340i

Ask and you shall receive.

Whoever decided it was a good idea to paint the lower portion of the G-series cars in black needs a lesson in design.
It looks rubbish on the 3 & 4 series & now on the 2 series also.

Funny, I actually like the contrast.

jtdavid · 11-27-2021, 06:59 PM

Those M Contour wheels on the E36 are still some of my all time faves...

Kevin_The_Clean1 · 11-27-2021, 07:08 PM

Looks excellent. Except from the back end. Really hope the M2 delivers all the goods & the looks too!

bunker · 11-27-2021, 07:49 PM

I always feel like MR looks better in pictures- in particular indoor pictures- than it does in real life. Whenever I see it under sunlight, I see too much orange in it for my taste. But these pics make the color look great. I had to go with the purple though. Just because.

I prefer Crimson Red myself ‼️

Niko ZV · 11-27-2021, 08:26 PM

Interior pics?

P1 · 11-27-2021, 08:51 PM

Rear end still looks a bit goofy.

lixiang7349 · 11-27-2021, 08:54 PM

At least the color is good

I am guessing they wanted to create an optical illusion to make the body appear slimmer since the car overall looks stubby unlike e36. The rear end section , rear qtr panel and bumper cover, in the side view image shows how high and akward the body design is especially behind the rear wheel. Also, check out rear wheel front and rear wheel to body gap diff. The larger gap behind rear wheel is awkward.
