Can’t be as dark as Carbon? I thought Jaraz took that crown.

Nope, but it is awful close… and I lived with Carbon Black for three years via a former girlfriend’s E46 M3.

My BSM GC is the first metallic black I’ve had. Had three Jet Black cars in the past…

Try 11y with my E39 M5. I know first hand what a pain dark blue can be.

Even Estoril didn't hide much, either.

Ugh!! Here is a good G87 inside preview.

G80 LCI pic.

At least they left the shift knob in place for the auto.

Ran across a couple really good renders.

The rear actually looks nicer with the G80 looking diffuser.

Somehow the red paint makes the tail lights look a little better also.

Notice the carbon buckets on the inside. =)

I hope it looks that good.

It would be a nice surprise.
