That gave me a semi. Sexaaaaaayy.

Hope you won't catch many swirls over the years of ownership. Take care of it.

my only issue with TB is that it looks like its going to be a swirl monster for some reason.... CPro or something similar is a must do with this color....

Aside from that this is probably my favorite color combo i've seen.

wow that's amazing, just built one myself and figured i'd search google and here it is.... makes me want to jump ship and get an M3. However it does look like an E60 M5 from the side, geez these things got big

OP where are you in NJ? I'm in central NJ, love to see this thing in person at a meet. Going to any before winter?

One of the most beautiful F80 M3 that i've seen around! The colour combination is fantastic.

Thanks! Yea, the car is right on the border of being too big but it still feels pretty nimble! I'm in South Jersey near Philly.. I'd be down for a meet if it's not 2+ hours away haha usually most of the meets are up in NY or North Jersey. I drive this car all year round so I'm up for whenever

Damn you, that's my 99% perfect combo! I like darker brown interiors, but would've probably driven that off the floor too had I seen it to!

Enjoy it in good health,

Thanks buddy! I went in with low expectations but it really blew me away.

Hi...about to trade my 2014 Boxster S for a 2016 M4 convertible in TB. I am also having the GB vs AB dilemma. After having your car for a year, are you seeing any fade or other issues with the GB interior? How does the color stand up to use (i.e.: DIRT)?

I was sure I wanted AM until I saw it in person. Then I saw GB and thought WOW! Now torn and wishing I could see them IRL side by side.

Your pics and comments have been super helpful but pulling the trigger is HARD,

My M4 build is close to yours: Conv, 6sm, 19" silver wheels, exec pack, wood trim...just interior to be chosen.

Thanks all for ANY input,
The Newbie

Hi! The GB has been holding up extremely well! I've conditioned and cleaned the leather only once so far (been lazy) and there's no stains or excessive wear although I am very careful with my bolsters. I'd say you should have no worries pulling the trigger if you like the color

hope this helps!

RockawayF82 · 05-31-2016, 08:24 PM

Absolutely stunning color combination! I can easily see why you went with that car.

JDubz · 05-31-2016, 09:23 PM

Does the ceramic pro keep the swirls away? If so- how do you clean and how often?

I got my TB F80 ceramic coated a few days after delivery. So far, no swirls. And I don't baby my car.

Yup, it's been about 10 months since I've gotten ceramic pro applied and the paint has held up remarkably well for a DD that primarily sits outside all day, year-round.

Thanks guys. Also parking outside and can't seem to find time to wash my ride - may be doing ceramic coating
