    Best M4 Colour?

    From the standard colour chart which suits the M4 the best?




    Top to Bottom:

    Alpine White Non-metallic - Sakhir Orange

    Mineral White Metallic - Silverstone Metallic

    Black Sapphire Metallic - Mineral Grey Metallic

    Yas Marina Blue Metallic - Austin Yellow Metallic


    Here’s another aid to deciding:

    I like it in Mineral Grey (I think) - 2nd from bottom on RHS. I prefer a low key colour that is fairly timeless and I think that works.

    On the other hand, if you are more extrovert then Austin Yellow must be the way to go. From e36/e46 range Dakar and Phoenix Yellow seem to stand out and have stood the test of time as distinctive. I think AY could do the same.
    Current: BMW 530e M-Sport - '17, BMW 630i Sport auto - '07, BMW 325i Coupe - '93, BMW Z4 2.5si Auto - '07, '90 BMW 316i Lux.

    I know there were some Individual colours available with Tanzante Blue Metallic too which is subtle but also nice. I had the privilege of seeing Yas Marina blue metallic up close and the metallic fleck is really quite stunning int he flesh, it just doesn't photograph well for some reason.

    Is this a subtle way of saying you are considering a change???

    Yas Marina for me, followed by Mineral Grey

    Not the worlds biggest yas marina fan, find it a little bit pastel and "cartoony". Obviously I most like the sakhir orange, its one of those colours people dont think they like but when you see it is a stunner. For me it was sakhir or tanzanite. Yellow is very nice in the metal also. The other colours dont really show off the lines IMHO, and dont highlight "da carbon" bits, should you so choose,...and you should. Its a yob car and needs a yob colour. But to be honest no matter what you go for your onto a winner, very good looking and aggressive car. If I was going to buy new and individual I would order purple silk cuz I is a chav.

    Here are some photos I have accumulated of M4's. You can see how the colours change in different lights, Yaz, Sakhir and Austin are best for this effect.

    I was in Wales but at the other end of the country unfortunately (or fortunately given the dire performance!). We watched it in a little country pub just inside the Welsh border.
