I think BSM with cognac interior is the way to go with the current color choices available. Kind of annoying because I’d also spec the carbon roof which seems wasted on a black car, but I wouldn’t want a sunroof.
Wish they had IOMG, tanzanite, aventurin, etc. The available color choices suck imo. I know the F87 only had limited choices but I would take SO, LBB, or MB over TR or ZB any day. |

Rear looks fine in black.
But my god the front end is just awful. The paint doesn’t match and makes it look like the front bumper was plumped with too much filler. Yikes |

Now that it has been pointed out, the paint match on front bumper cover is horrible! Note that a 3rd party typically paints the front and rear bumper covers off-site. They are not painted along side the vehicle body.

Am I blind? The front 3/4 and zoomed in shot of the front corner both seem to have the bumper paint match with the fender

It appears like there is more metallic flake in the BC than the hood? |

Im 99% that's the steeper angle of the hood messing with it.
In this shot the reflection of the flake looks perfect from fender to bumper. You can also see the slope of the hood compared to the bumper. https://ibb.co/ynwRKZm Last edited by CodeSlinger; 03-20-2023 at 08:27 PM.. |

It’s the angle. Trust me. I’ve owned 4 total BSM cars and 2 currently. In sunlight, the body lines have a big impact on the shade and metallic flake that you can see.
The problem is the horrible transition from the bumper to hood. |

It was the designer of the G87 M2 desire to make the car look like it had gone to the gym and had bulking muscles 💪

The more I see this car, the more I'm thinking... Should I just order an M2 over an M3? Looks pretty sick in black...

![]() first time I have seen a video of bsm. Glad we have options... unfortunately only slightly better than this. BUT, does a black car make sense to wrap? For purposes of the inside of door wells and such?

Looks the best here but I won’t be fooled by non used car photos of Black paint anymore. It looks great when not used . Once you start driving it goes to hell. Micro scratches , swirls, small rock chips etc. Drives me insane. Not to mention it’s impossible to not get random dings and scratches.

I like most of it. That front bumper is just plain ugly though.

“Black scratch metallic”
“Big scratch multiplier” “Big scratch magnet” Well maintained BSM. ⬇️No PPF, no ceramic coat. No filters, no edits. You guys will all be fine. Take it in the color it looks best in.

I deleted the photo unfortunately but when I saw it in person I took a closeup of the profile transition from hood to bumper and it follows the same angle. There’s isn’t a change in angle.
