Austin Yellow is the production Aurum Dust (preview pic)

The flat yellow is much better than the sparkling gold "phoenix" they call it imo

Looks like Mineral Gray Metallic in dark lighting.

Edit: Or just a camo wrap.

This pic was released by Scott26, who works for BMW himself (likely in the marketing/community department).

Agreed! I'm actually digging the Yas Marina Blue quite a bit and I never thought I'd like it. But it fits the F80 perfectly.

However I like the Phonix Yellow and wouldn't mind looking into it as well.

Sheesh, too many decisions now!

I'm just messing around because it was for certain that it was Singapore Gray when that photo popped up. But it's obviously mineral gray, as even you could tell.

He likely was just reporting what the running consensus was among the designers, engineers, and product managers was at the time. And as with all things, plans change.

kumar911 · 10-29-2013, 09:15 PM

Think I might be ordering this color, but I want a red interior so not so sure if its gonna match! Its a tough call!

Jay-K · 10-29-2013, 09:31 PM

GuyOh · 10-29-2013, 09:47 PM

Much better than the boring selection we got with the E9XM generation.

Good choice in colors.
Now who wants to be the 40/50 year old with the bright ass car!!

Hey man. Nothing wrong with embracing one's boldness, no matter your age.

Full disclosure: I'll probably be 40 by the time it comes to buy my next car

Lorde · 10-29-2013, 11:07 PM

Is it too much to ask for Imola Red to be a color option?!

Carolina Blue aka Tarheels Blue.

Yas Marina looks good but I don't think I could drive around in a "powder blue" car.

JTO24 · 10-30-2013, 04:50 AM

Isn't Yas a birth control? If I got this color somehow my friends would work that fact into it's name... my friends suck

It's not too much to ask, just a cool $5500, that's all.
