Exactly… I definitely do not care for Brooklyn Grey. It is also the color my father initially ordered for his 2020 X3 and later bailed after seeing the color in person. He then proceeded to placed another order for Tanzanite.

Currently I believe Rivian Blue and Canyon Red are two strong considerations. It looks really good in black, but I will not own another black vehicle.

Edit: Note I have selected the wheels in attachments 1, 4, 5, and 6. Pic six is typically how they are delivered if there is not a service center currently within your area.

I think the blue looks good. The red looks a little too tomato-y in that shot…

I have always liked the blue, but they are charging $2500 for it. I am also considering similar blues for the M2. The problem with most of their colors, other than black and white are that they significantly change dependent upon the lighting. Apparently the red in direct sunlight has an orange hint to it.

Or Battleship Gray… Brooklyn Grey reminded my father of exactly that and at one time he was an officer in the Armed Services.

Please let them offer a nice medium blue on the G87!

The primer chalk grey is SO played out at this point. It’s the 90’s emerald green of this era.

I swear everything is coming in a version of that right now.

Audi started it with Nardo what like 10y ago??!!

I like the blue also for the Rivian!

One can wish, but doubtful that they will as they seem to be pushing various greens these days. There is always BMW individual for $5500 and acquire nearly any color you want.

Agree re the primer greys. Had enough of it…

If Rivian Blue was not $2500 I would have selected it initially. I have a very difficult time spending that kind of money on paint for a truck. Especially when I have no idea how long I will keep it.

I'll add this...they had just parked it on the street and the headlights were still on. It's a really good look.
