2017 F80 Ultimate - Grey Black Individual

[tingy]

Walked into the dealership to talk about a potential individual order and walked out with this beauty, which had arrived on the lot not even 24 hours before -- it was fate. No waiting. My perfect car.

Took delivery on 11/12 - traded in a 2014 F32 x-drive 6-speed and couldn't be happier.

Huge shout out to Jay Wong at Endras BMW - by far the best dealership experience I've ever had. If you're in Canada and need an M hit this man up you will not be disappointed.

My Build:
2017 F80 6-speed manual
Grey Black Individual / Black Full Merino Leather
Ultimate Package:
-Competition, Premium, Executive, Carbon Pkg, Driver Assistance, M Performance Exhaust, and so much more!

Now to drive it like I stole it before the Canadian snow comes I'll probably keep the car stock for the winter (besides winter wheels of course) and start lightly modding in the spring- thinking KW HAS and spacers.

Too busy driving to bust out the actual camera, so here are some iphone shots for now

thats sweet ride! nice choice

[ElSenor]

Sweet ride, but I feel like none of these photos do a good job of showing the color. They're all taken in the shade.

Please take some more.

Awesome car! I actually swung by the dealership to check it out on Thursday – looks great! Colour looks so different depending on lighting.

I hope you don't mind me sharing a few photos I snapped, ha! Car was pretty dirty still as it hadn't been washed yet.

(These are just quick/awful iPhone snaps I took so I'd have an example of the colour handy for myself)





M3 with a car beside it.



M3 without a car beside it. Look how the paint changes after the car beside it is gone and the sun hits it.

[ElSenor]

Damn...this is a super nice color!

If I do another M3, individual is definitely going to happen. Promptly followed by XPEL. I didn't wrap mine and now I have a a few rock chips and other stuff. It's my daily, so I can't be too upset.

Nice color, looks good.

[tingy]

You're right, the color changes a lot depending on sunlight. Here are some more iphone photos in more sunlight





Now to fix that front wheel gap...

Thanks! Haha, Jay told me you had stopped by. Have you settled on a color?

[Brasko]

Congrats on the ride! Such a rad color.

What brand of front spoiler are you running? It looks very good.

It's M Performance.

Ultimate package is a Canada exclusive option which includes, among other things like more paint choices, all the M Performance exterior accessories.

Nice! Looks great with that color. Also looks like you didn't install the carbon splitters? Only the lower lip?

[Jockey]

Wow, congrats. One of the few colors that I think look good with the silver comp wheels.

It's got the carbon corners, zoom in on a front pic you can see the weave

Yep, carbon splitters are there. Lower lip is matte black.

Absolutely love this color in person...been wanting to see more of this on Ms, great choice!

I definitely have not haha! I'm still leaning towards BSM with an Amaro Brown interior. Want to see Fashion Grey in person too (this thread has me liking it: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1284131), especially with the Amaro interior.

I would say we should meetup for a photo shoot (and I'd love to try driving a manual F8X if you'd be up to it – I'd let you drive my GT4), but unfortunately I'm parking it for the winter on Tuesday and I'm tied up until then

[E92 M Sport]

Cool color. Do it some justice with a dslr!

[Blindside_137]

That is one outstanding F80

[KevinM]

Great car and color - congratulations! Love the flat grey paint - I almost ordered Grey Black as well, but it interfered with my ED date.

So, this was sitting on the lot? Individual color + 6-speed MT...someone must have backed out on his order. Great for you. Reminds me of a time in 2001 when I brought my 1999 528 6-speed to the dealer for service and left in a 2002 530 6-speed that had just arrived - the person who ordered it had backed out. My perfect build just sitting there - irresistible.

[INDVDL///M]

Great looking car! Enjoy it!

I am surprised that the dealership had an Ultimate Package in a 6 Speed! Nice find!

[Frank M3 NJ]

damn that color is everything! cognrats

[catch]

Nice pickup, and what luck that it was at the dealer when you went by!

Grey/Black is a love hate for me. In some lighting i love it (when it looks grey) and in some lighting I hate it (brownish purple). Its an interesting colour for sure. Its metallic with no metallic flakes. It defiantly stands out on the street though. Nothing out there like it!

Congrats!
