OV9

As someone who is “partially red/green colourblind” - I prefer the orange one.

Can't get brown leather on the carbon buckets. Which having sat in, I am now sold on. They're incredibly comfortable.

Seems to allow it on the configurator - does it not allow you to carry through?

Hmm ok, will have another try. Wasn't able to do it in the dealer.

You can get the wheels in black or normal finish.

Orbit Grey on the Tanzanite II



That's much better

That is pretty cool

Part of the problem is how changeable these colours are in different conditions and seeing them in the flesh which I just won't be able to do. Daytona was my first choice as I loved it on the E34 M5 and the three other people I've seen putting orders in have all chosen blue so far and I'm sure there will be a few silver ones, so was wanting something different without being outlandish.

Random M4 pic.



M5...

I do like Daytona tbh. Looking at those pics I think maybe it needs paler wheels to pop though

Does look better with the non-black wheels..

The colour visualiser thing is here if you're really bored/want to be helpful/want to make things more complicated for me.

The blue is a bit too Shockdiamonds Doom Blue or Police Car.

Oii you!

I really like the Velvet.

If it was my own money I’d probably go for Frozen Grey.

So Velvet.

What colour hides that fucking awful front end treatment best?

Go for that.

Vanta black

How about a dark green?

Tanzanite and orbit grey wheels was a go to on the M340i.

I'd want to differentiate between the 2.

Looked alright on Wheel of Fortune.

Only two wheel options? How do you get those frozen gold babies like what Harris had on his M2?

I don’t think that colour would suit the wheel design of the M3. I’d also say you need a really dark colour with them; black or Tanzanite would work.

Go for that.

Park it next to a new xm, then say to yourself “it’s not that bad actually”

The dark blue does look good. I guess you want to be subtle so java green is probably out?

The colours look odd on the visualiser thingy though so as you say, hard to know how they would look in the metal.

I do like a dark green on an estate, oak green or similar, Audi did that shade a while back but not sure whether it would suit the M3
