What car color do you have and how much attention do you get?

CaryTheLabelGuy · 05-10-2016, 10:09 PM

My 2015 BSM M4 got almost zero attention. However, I sold it and just picked up a SSII ZCP M4. I've gotten more attention just today alone than I did with my BSM in a year and 2 months of ownership and the ZCP is currently totally stock.

Austin yellow with black wheels, grills, and M-Performance parts. Tons of attention and people taking pics all the time, surprised by how people react to a 4-door.

I often get the "what color is that" from people that don't know.

BMW enthusiasts are like, oh that's individual right?

Damn another pic and it looks real nice.

I am torn between YMB or AY.

AY looks nice in sun and night.

Don't about YMB in night.

Same!! I usually have it in Sport mode with MPE, so I still get side stares!

I can concur with this as well. Even mostly stock, my SO M3 with full black leather gets a fair amount of attention at car events.

If you haven't yet, try to see them in person. I hated AY until I saw it myself. YMB is ok, but my vote goes to AY.

I got AY and my buddy got YMB, we both love both colors and each other's car, what made my decision was that my older car was estroil blue, so I wasn't about to get another blue and the AY in the sun is the most amazing color, and no other color shows off the lines of the car like AY. But with either of these, be prepared for a ton of attention and not being able to hide, people will know where you are all the time lol

Waiting for delivery on a MW with SO interior and expecting zero attention

Alvinized52 · 05-11-2016, 09:32 AM

Interestingly enough, my SS2 with Stealth wrap gets a lot more attention than i initially expected. Way more! Even in meets... Im usually the only one in SS2 and stick out like a sore thumb. Ironic that SS2 is rare find even in Socal... Ive seen more YMB and AY around.... And a sea of AW and MWs. I get a lot of thumbs up... And even lots of people snapping pics while parked. Then again, i do have lot of unique custom exterior mods on my car that sets it apart.

More pix on my build thread link below my sig...

cprx7 · 05-11-2016, 09:37 AM

^^Good looking car man.... I'm def digging SS

GlazierGlaze · 05-11-2016, 10:32 AM

YMB - quite a bit of attention.

frankiebones · 05-11-2016, 10:41 AM

getting a YMB F80 delivered next month (just went into production yesterday). The gym by my office is in a terrible area of Brooklyn and i am freaking out that someone is going to mess with my M3 in the parking lot while i am working out. anyone have any experience with this?

rr006rbc · 05-11-2016, 10:47 AM

Mineral Grey and ZERO attention. Which is exactly what I was striving for. Just driving thru the slipstream.

Does the YMB look like this or much lighter?

I asw a M4 with YMB at Ottawa car show but damn it was so light.

I guess it's all because of the lighting?

Curt2000 · 05-11-2016, 11:16 AM

Sunburst Gold, general consensus is...can't take my eyes off of it!

Lighter and less saturated. That image is enhanced

I appreciate the advice but ive found that to draw a lot of unnecessary attention in the "hood." thankfully at my office i park behind an 18 foot tall gate.

Jimbooo · 05-11-2016, 12:41 PM

MW / SO mpe and all mperformance aero add ons. Tonnes of attention but in my area of the U.K. There's barely any M4's. I've seen two others since I got the car in November '15 neither had MPE or any MP add ons at all
