Does it really matter to you what anyone else thinks about the color car you drive?

I say to anyone, get any color and color combo that you want and that you'll be happy with. Screw what anyone else thinks, it is not their car.

I on the other hand have no problem with SO, in fact I like it more than just plain red. I however wish that one of the whites were eliminated in favor of interlagos blue.

Ahhhh opinions.

No F8x evaluation cars yet. Media reviews come in June.

I'd say AY how often do you see a gold/yellow car? the YMB reminds of the Jag XK (or is it XJ)

damn that M3 is lowered! why so flush lol

But why? The car debuted in Detroit as originally reported here months ago, and the order guide is still on track for Feb.

Looks good n low

swifty · 02-11-2014, 04:29 PM

I can't wait for the reviews. The M3 looks so much more aggressive than any m4 pics I've seen though I love the coupe.

Bahn360Photo · 02-11-2014, 04:30 PM

cool pics, but whats up with those white door handles?

Correct. The 18s look similar to these 19s but are in fact different. These preproduction 19s can also be seen on F10 M5 test mules. I think it's an internal wheel bmw keeps in stock for testing on a wide range of cars.

I've been wondering about all these black wheels...because we've seen about 2 variations. And I am wondering if they will be released later on. With some of the car colors, the black wheels look better than the factory production wheels.

positiveions · 02-11-2014, 06:20 PM

M3 looks better than M4.

Gold is Best

Brady1984 · 02-11-2014, 06:25 PM

I loved the early ring test shots, the sneaky under hood pics, hot and cold weather testing pics, ride-along impressions, pics from the auto shows, seeing pre-production models tooling around everywhere and commentary from product managers. I like following the process that comes with a new M car but independent third party reviews and impressions of professional journalists are what I am really looking forward to. I want to know how it drives, rides and compares with other vehicles in this segment. The only thing I look forward to more is making my own impressions of how it drives rides and fits in my garage.

Yvette · 02-11-2014, 06:49 PM

i am diggin the color so bad
aggressive but yet so classic

Tony135 · 02-11-2014, 07:35 PM

Race_Doc11 · 02-11-2014, 07:44 PM

That blue beats on the gold. Sorry , it takes a special admirer to have liked or loved the deceased Phoenix gold. Can look good just hope it somehow grows on you. Like a bacteria.

See my follow-up post above, I think they are the recently discovered 19" OEM winter wheel, painted black.
