If you go red, consider Imola or Melbourne. Imola is really nice: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1425382

That green is awful. Definitely red or another color altogether on a new one.

Found some pictures of both cars next to each other:

Ferrari red without a doubt

uniqueMR · 01-16-2018, 08:23 PM

Ferrari Red, stands out

KevinM · 01-16-2018, 08:31 PM

I'm not a huge fan of green cars either (except British Racing Green on vintage Jags), but that Urban Green looks pretty cool. It's also not as "in your face" as the Ferrari red, so I suppose it depends if you are trying to stand out and be noticed or trying to be more subtle.

For me, Urban Green + new = win.

GERMAN M3 · 01-16-2018, 08:39 PM

Definitely the Ferrari Red!

Killed by Death · 01-16-2018, 08:43 PM

RED

GrussGott · 01-17-2018, 12:42 AM

green ... that red is a bit common as there are plenty of cars on the road very similar.

It's also a cop magnet. 30 cars go by speeding and the cop waits for you.

babraham · 01-17-2018, 12:56 AM

Urban Green looks cool.
But damn does the F80 look sexy in Ferrari Red.

spuntyb · 01-17-2018, 06:35 AM

Ferrari Red without hesitation. Get it.

Bimmers4life · 01-17-2018, 06:37 AM

Not many can say their BMW exterior color is Ferrari Red so for cool points and future resale value I vote Ferrari Red.

ljzimm · 01-17-2018, 08:01 AM

Urban Green all day, everyday.

Parabolica · 01-17-2018, 09:20 AM

Neither colour imo.

dbperformance · 01-17-2018, 10:45 AM

Thank you guys for thinking with me!

It's going to be the red one probably. One thing I'm afraid of trading the M2, that the M3 is not that fun like the M2? Or isn't that true? Is it the same fun car as a M2 and something like a weekend car?

Do me a favor? Address that question here:

If you want, I can post links to exiting threads on the topic. Or you could start your own, but it might very well be merged.

Thanks!

Go with the red.

Rbc44 · 01-17-2018, 12:48 PM

Color is personal and subjective. For me it would be an easy choice -- the Ferrari Red.

Time Lord · 01-17-2018, 05:58 PM

Green all day.... The red looks weird

Super Spartan · 01-17-2018, 06:00 PM

Screw the color. Get the new car

Ian1973 · 01-17-2018, 07:25 PM

I like some greens but that isn't one of them. The red is nice though.
