Here are some quick and dirty Photoshops based off of the newly revealed photos of the YMB F80 M3. Very, very rough but should be okay for a quick reference.

Ready to place my order in SoCal....who wants it?!

imserious · 12-11-2013, 07:56 PM

awesome, thanks!

me thinks these will look better in person just like the 435. still looks busy to me, but the colors with the CF roof look hot!

parky1215 · 12-11-2013, 07:58 PM

surprisingly, black looks really nice.
I thought black would hide sexy lines of M3, but it color suits this car well.
I can't wait to see black M3 in real life with black wheel

MikeM5 · 12-11-2013, 08:33 PM

Yas and Mineral Grey do it for me.

Though I still wish they offered Imola and Singapore Grey at launch!

cap_freez · 12-12-2013, 10:33 AM

I'm sad melbourne red is not available :-( or Imola :-(. Sakhir is not red...

Right now that is not an official color for the F80/F82, although that could change when they are released. If I have time I'll try a few other colors including EB.

biglare · 12-12-2013, 02:10 PM

Yummmmm!

Thanks for posting up the colors!

Silverstone looks good on coupes only

absoluteis350 · 12-12-2013, 10:23 PM

That is definitely NOT accurate. Mineral Gray is not that dark. That shade is Sparkling Graphite, and what I want to order thru BMW Individual. I have seen 4-series Mineral Gray... Mineral Gray is much lighter and belongs on a Lexus LS doing 65 in the left lane. With the exception of White, the colors are all extremely weak. Maybe Yas in person will look better..

Savory · 12-13-2013, 03:42 PM

My attempt at Sakhir orange. Also lowered the car a bit

The "color" options are a bit wild

I believe you're thinking of Space Gray not Mineral Gray. The render is darker, and tinted more than it should be, but take a look at it on Google images. Although Mineral Gray varies significantly based the lighting and other factors, here are a couple real world examples of how Mineral Gray can look - it's pretty dark, and in certain light there's a super subtle blue/red/purple tone - like a toned down, darker version of Sparkling Graphite Metallic. Note: I owned a SGM 135i, and while it's not nearly as purple-ish as that, MG is definitely darker than SGM.

The bottom image is Mineral Gray from BMWs official M3 color configurator.

nonagon · 12-13-2013, 05:39 PM

I brightened up the Mineral Gray one a tad - but it's still not quite right. In any case, everyone can visualize the M3/M4 through bmw.com, so no need for more Photoshops.
