EXACTLY. I have two bold, individual color M's right now - and frankly, I'll never go back to "regular" issue colors ever again. It's just SO much fun having something that is different and exciting.

My dad, in an attempt to combat the mommy image of the Macan, got his in Miami Blue on black wheels. It really makes the car feel special.

Interior matters too. Browns reds etc really class up a cabin.

Colour doesn't suit such a large sedan. I don't think it even suits the new larger 3 series. I think it is best on something like a 2 series or like a Cayman, etc.

Going Bold and being tasteful can both be accomplished but sometimes going Bold doesn't mean it is tasteful. Pink is bold and I have seen a bold pink Bentley driving around but not tasteful imo. It has to suit the shape/design of the car.

Same here. If it was given to me for free I wouldn't mind. Simply not my style. Bu the F90 M5 is still an uber sexy super sedan. And I agree this one belongs in Miami... !

Slugsy01 · 10-21-2021, 03:07 PM

I quite like it!

Graves · 10-21-2021, 10:17 PM

Surprisingly, I don't hate it. Looks pretty good.

AP · 10-22-2021, 02:49 AM

Well I guess you're not going to lose that in a car park!?

The urban myth that the only man made item you can see from space is the Great Wall of China, I'd add this M5 to that list!

subterFUSE · 10-22-2021, 07:33 AM

I love that color.

Ikester19 · 10-23-2021, 01:49 AM

Looks good on the M5 IMO, shows off the body lines quite nicely. I wouldn't be brave enough to go with such a bold colour, however

BMthusiast · 10-23-2021, 11:14 AM

I really like SPY on the F90. Here's a Birch Green F90 to compare. I think SPY works a bit better on this car.

I agree, looks awesome to look at. But it couldn't be my DD.

Tallest · 10-25-2021, 03:42 AM

I dont like it, but I like the fact that owner went for it because a grey M5 certainly doesnt add much to anything anyway. So kudos. It doesnt look tacky, just the main paint is very different. And also goes greenish in some shots which is not my thing (I prefer warmer yellows).

Still, Id keep these bright yellows and reds for sportscars, where it suits a little more.

^that part, especially the interior piece

The F90 is my 4th ///M now and have alternated b/w brown and red leather each time.

vanos84 · 10-25-2021, 07:34 PM

I love it, but I've always liked yellow sports cars. The green M5 looks a bit tacky to me and I assume many of you here probably think that about the SPY. To me it goes together in a perfect contrasting harmony with the black and carbon trim of the LCI. Beautiful!

kmualim · 10-26-2021, 10:58 AM

I love the Sao Paulo Yellow...

Especially in the non-M front where you basically have 10 shades of grey as a color choice. We are going individual for our X7 because my wife didn't want the usual suspects and there are not a lot of options.

Me too! We saw an X3 M in the dealer last week in that color and wow it pops!

Love any color that’s not blue, gray, black, and possibly white. Waiting on delivery of Motegi red. It’s an M5, turn some heads!!!
