In the direct sunlight it’s pretty dam cool.

I have seen it in person many of times, but I have never seen it look as drab as that first pic.

Those swatches are terrible. Both Misano and Estoril are way lighter than that.

Have to see it in person, but Zandvoort looks like glacier silver blue to me and would lean one way or the other based on lighting, which I like in chameleon type colors.

Sunset is not a bad variety of orange, but like Sakhir leans more towards red than orange under certain lighting conditions.

They should offer a truer orange type color like Valencia or Lime Rock.

A shade of green should also be available, such as IOMG, Signal or even like the attached Mamba.

But if that does wind up being the final color palette, I would do Individual in Le Mans and call it a day.

I like Valencia, to bad they did not keep it exclusive to the 1M.

A shade of green has been spotted on the rear PDC sensors of a G87 prototype. I believe I posted the pic in this thread.

Le Mans and Avus are both on my list for an individual color. Imola as well…

Lime Rock would be fantastic. BTW, I saw an M4 in IOMG in Greer. And I'm not a fan.

Love Misano

Misano, LeMans and Avus. Not so much a fan of Estoril.

Misano WAY better then Smurf I mean Laguna Seca blue!

Let’s see how baldly we can piss off the current F87 CS owners.

Offer the G87 comp with a manual, carbon roof and buckets, adjustable dampers with more HP and in Misano for less money.

Lime Rock Grey? The E92 Lime Rock Edition was Fire Orange, both individual colors. I have not seen IOMG in the flesh, but I suspect I would not like it as I generally do not care for greens.

+1

LSB has grown on me over the past 21 years. The same applies to PY, Phoenix Yellow. I do like Misano, but it was not exclusive to the M2 CS. It was first offered on the G29 Z4 and also on the X2. Edit: LSB was only on the E46 M3, E36/7 M Roadster, and E37/8 M Coupe. As some point it was offered via the Individual program, but has since been removed.

Allegedly the G87 will have M adaptive suspension, the G42 M240 has it. I am still fairly confident that the G87 Comp will only be the ZF 8 speed auto like the G80/G82. I hope I am wrong as clearly I would order a manual Comp.

Yep. Fire Orange is what I was thinking of, based on the E92.

Someone in town has a E92 Lime Rock Ed. with Montana tags, aka LLC to avoid taxes

That is the Sakhir Orange effect I disliked but x1000.
