I need to see some leather pics to help decide as well. Yellow/orange are in the lead for me, so tired of white.

Are you saying you're going to pay for individual to try to get Aurum Dust? Is that even possible? Wouldn't you want to get Austin Yellow instead which is supposedly similar and is a production color?

I don't think so. Tinting the windows properly gives a perfect separation of colors. I am very excited to see this combo. Actually, one of the only reasons I don't want to get it is I think this color combo will become quite popular later.

white or silver on an m3 with tan or oyster interior, but it will be a couple years. no way in hell I am paying MSRP or any kind of markup on this car.

hard to decide until they are out and I can see them in the flesh.

This will be my first BMW, and I must admit, all of the colors are very plain to me. Nothing stands out as any good. If forced to pick, I would probably do Yas Marina or Mineral White, although I was just at the dealer and it looks like both the Mineral and Alpine whites change from between series cars (2013 and 2014 side by side were very different, but were coded with the same white).

In reality, I'll just end up with BMW Individual and do a fully custom color, matched to something better. The lambo orange is spectacular in person, but there's not way I would get such a loud color. Have to do some more "color shopping" at other car manufacturers. Lexus graphite grey pearl several years ago was amazing too.

And if not, it would be Azurite Black on Silverstone.

Excellent choice.

Just curious, what are you considering other than M3?

I am all over the place this time around. I'm thinking about an X5 50i and a 550i. My lease is up next summer and plan to order whatever vehicle I get.

Some of the cool stuff won't be out by then like the next gen MB C AMG, the next gen S/RS4 or 5 or the Lexus RC-f which might be fun.

I may just get something more lux oriented and get something sporty the next go around.

There's a reason why white is the new red/yellow on Aventadors and 458's.
Way to be a boring one all your life

From what I've managed to glean from current M's the individual is from some pre selected colours, the previous M3's individual colours were showing Azurite Black, Moonstone or Ruby Black for £810
The current M6, Available in: Citrine Black, Moonstone, Ruby Black, Tanzanite Blue for £1,995 and Frozen Bronze for £3,220
And the M5s individual colours are Azurite Black, Champagne Quartz, Citrine Black, Moonstone, Pyrite Brown for £1045 and Frozen Bronze for £2745
I think, you can have colour to sample but thats the really expensive option.

The photos of Sakhir look amazing but in european overcast light it looks less eye popping.

Hell MuthaF'N YEAH! Im glad to see that AY (Not AD, AD was only for the concept) doesn't appear to be a very popular color. I love going to meets and having the only MR car there in a sea of Black, White, and Silver.

The current choices are kinda bland, except for yellow. I likely won't be getting an M4 until after LCI anyway so I'm hoping they'll come out with a green one. I'd like to get a brownish interior to go with it. Probably will have to go individual to get what I really want and that aint gonna happen, so I'll probably stick with a blue.

BTW, "full leather" is more leather than "extended", correct?


Cheers.

I am not sure I would call
orange 'bland'. But each to their own and I guess depends a bit where you come from.

I wish they were doing a Laguna Seca Blue.

You can keep you garish colours (oooh look at me everyone in my bright *insert awful colour here* shiny motor) Mineral grey with black 18's for me. Simple, stylish and practical.
