The F80 didn't look as aggressive to me in LSB as it does in Austin Yellow or Silverstone because the non-metallic paint does not reflect light the same way and therefore isn't creating the highlights and shadows that bring out the beauty of the car's design. When I saw Atlantis on this forum and learned it was metallic, that is what sold me, and then seeing it in person just verified how amazing a color it is. Maybe I will enter my garage often enough to change my mind and keep the car!
Could not disagree with you more regarding non-metallic, monochromatic paints on the M3/M4, as my most favorite ones are all non-metallic, but I do wish you luck with your decision!
