I know. Just as well, as it saves me from myself.

Re price, clearly a guessing game until sometime in October. I still think it will start around $65k.

It appears xDrive is being developed for the G87.

Release info on 10/12 apparently. Two more months. Hope we get at least one more leaked pic before then. That and SCA’s many rants to come after he gets his.

Looks like LCI in 2025. That will probably be the yes/no date for me if I am going to get it.

Meh, boring colors for a new M car launch. I hope that individual paint is available at SOP.

YUK!

That launch color is way worse then turquoise LBB. I mean Smurf blue on the E46 was ok but this color is just way to light.

I think BG will be the huge standard seller. I’d probably do that or alpine. Just no to the other three. Maybe the LCI will add a cool color. Tazanite Blue please!

BG stinks! Talk about a snooze fest. The way things are going it is looking like Alpine White with red interior, if available. I could delay and wait and see if individual is offered at a later date, but I think that is risky.

Tanzanite it is a lot of work, ask my father’s mobile detailer.
