No way. The M3/M4 Competition proved that wrong. Overpriced and uglier while falling way short for "daily" driving purposes. 95% never have and never will see a track and/or any performance gains. M5 Comp will be no different.

I like it, but I think British Racing Green is the best color.

5200 bux for glossy primer. If you gonna have a 200mph car, it should have a 200mph color.

Nardo gray, M-color grill stripes, and big white tire letters can all go fuck themselves

I agree here, if it wasnt for the forums we would probably see maybe one if not not any even where I live. Im smack in the middle of the BMW M Buffet Palace aka Orange County and I still have only seen 2 live Nardos. Of course its all over the net and Insta so it becomes "played out"...

Even with the original Audi rolling nardo predominately with the RS7- its still a rare build.

In terms of tuner/show cars, I have to agree Nardo Grey is beyond played out. When wrapping and tire letters became mainstream around 2013, I feel like a large majority of people who wrapped their car chose that color.

Same goes for tire lettering.

This is all purely objective as it refers mostly to the place I live and the friends I keep.


I could imagine Nardo Grey with white tire letters being the hottest thing in the streets in a place that doesn't see lots of high end builds.


In a world of many colors and the ability to choose, I'd recommend people choose something more unique--especially when customizing.


Next color to get played out: Chalk.

I think seeing factory Nardo paint is rare still, but I've definitely seen copycat wanna be nardo wraps plenty in LA. BTW, impressive list of cars.

Would make more sense since it was just released with the M4cs
It is Nardo Grey. I checked the sticker.

I tried to order M5 in Lime Rock Grey and was told the color is reserved for M3 CS and I cannot get it on the M5.

In love with Sonoma Green on Audis. Wonder why BMW doesn't offer green. Even BRG is so badass if done right. [IMG]https://images5.alphacoders.com/892/892532.jpg[/IMG]

Hmm.... Whosoever is telling you 3-6 month extra wait is likely not correct. I had checked on nardo grey when I was ordering my M5 directly with M Studio and there was no such wait. I ended up getting Moonstone (quite the opposite of a flat paint such as Nardo - wife did not like Nardo at all). You may want to check with M studio on Nardo for timing if you ever want to get it.

For others who doubts Comp package - well you haven't driven a M5 in all likelihood. Even without tracking the car, it's worth it. After living with a F10 M5 Comp I can say that definitively.
