Sunset Orange
Anyone know why this is an option on the G20 but not the G21? Configurator only shows a very limited and muted colour palette for the touring unless you want to fork out for individual paint, and even then colours are limited.

I'm not sure Sunset orange would look that great on the G21. I saw a nice grey and I thought it looked great in dark colour. Muted colour pallet always seems to be the case with German cars. There are some crazy colours (and prices) for Individual colours.

One begs to differ - I think the F31 looks pretty good in SO and quite standout in a sea of greys & blues. In G21 M340i spec I think it would look the mutt’s;

Odd colour. Looks so nice on many pictures and TBF is sunlight it great. When overcast it's a bit too coppery/dull orange. Agree it looks great on that F32 pic there.
BMWs lack of colour is getting a bit naff. 50 shades and grey and blue +1 white and 1 colour on most ranges it now seems. To top it off half the £1000 extra paints are black or grey too!

There was a graphite purply black on the E90 when I had my 320si.
I think that was quite nice. I don't do black cars normally but when I saw it I quite liked it. But it had to be clean, my cars are never clean...

SO on G20
Don't know why, but its the reason why I was happy to go with a G20 rather than wait for a G21 in a boring dull colour. This example in the showroom convinced me.

Exactly the same as mine, although can't quite see what colour in the interior is. I love the colour, I've only ever seen 1 other G20 in orange. But it does need sunlight on it to show at its best.
