Have you made up your mind on color yet?

I am considering some louder colors as I think the F80 will need it to really distinguish itself from the F30. Since I plan on leasing the car I am not really concerned about resale value.

For me I think it is done to Yas/Mineral or Sakhir/Beige with an outside chance for Silverstone/Sakhir.

Here are some pics of some F30's I just came across on that forum that got me wondering about going Individual as well...but the $5000 does not include our pick of interior color as well, does it?

Nice blue. Those wheels are terrible. What are BMW thinking?

Yes, white.

Classic and never out of style. Best for showing sexy lines of M3 IMO. Always sells well, too. Of course I'm biased, since I own a 2004 AW coupe. But I always have people lining up to buy my car. That says it all.

There's a reason why white is the new red/yellow on Aventadors and 458's.

M4 Silverstone with black interior. I love the blues and my old M3 was LMB, but darker colors are hard to keep from swirling and show scratches easily.

Yes. My first choice is Sahkir Orange and my second choice may be black (...I've never owned a black BMW before). Alpine White will be my 3rd choice.

I've not decided yet, need to see the car in a few colors first. For now I'm leaning AW. Boring,safe, easy to maintain choice when no other color feel right. Maybe mineral grey but it need to look a lot better than it does on the F30/F32. My current plan is to keep cost low since this will likely be a transition car for me until the new Porsche sedan is available but if it turns out that it blows me away I might go individual. My wife's white Cayenne is the first white car I've owned and I quite like it.

It's going to be either yas marina blue or austin yellow with black interior.

of the choices from the dealer guide, no, I'm still not sure, its a very poor choice of colours, the individual choices had better be good.

Snap. M3 in either S Orange or Black. Death before white. I still associate white sports cars with Miami Vice.

I thought Individual unlocked any BMW paint? I have to pay $5000 to use one of their pre-selected colors?

Just for you, I'll do my best Sonny & Crocket impression if I end up in yet ANOTHER Alpine White BMW. LOL!

My first BMW (a long time ago) was Alpine White and I loved how well it showed the lines and surprisingly well looked clean. My last 3 cars were all black, so I am leaving the dark side and will go with Alpine White once again. This time with Sakhir Orange/Black interior.

I miss my old fun car:

Going to go with Aurum Dust for the win. Should be a rather rare and unique color and will hopefully hold its value over time unlike the more popular and mundane blacks, whites and grays.
