Hopefully it's just these pics, and I know I need to see one in person, but that looks much, much darker than Estoril Blue did on the E36 and M Roady and M Coupe. I'll be very disappointed if it's that dark and would have a hard time picking another color for our F31 as I already can't get my first two choices on M Sport, Jet Black or Mineral White.

Thanks for the pics. Imo, the M sport definitely needs 19 inch wheels AND spacers at the front (and maybe at the back as well)
The normal(Sport) too, but with those big spoilers etc the M sport even more so. Cheers Robin |

Thanks for the pics!
Looks just as good in the wild - definitely think i made the right choice waiting for the m-sport. Wonder what they're doing here in the uk? Possibly first press drives coming up?? |

Did you catch a look at the back of the Mineral Gray? Is there a nice contrast with the gray trim on the bottom (around tail pipe) and the rest of the bumper, or does it wash out since both are gray?
Anyone know what gray that is, the bottom piece? |

The U.S. version looks pretty aggressive to me. Much more so than my E90 LCI M-Sport.

I like Mineral Grey a lot, but it definitely has that "Jekyll & Hyde" split personality in different lighting conditions. Looks best inside the dealer's showroom under halogens. |

The pictures were taken in really bad conditions, it was grey and overcast. The cars were parked up under trees with tree sap and leaves on the bodywork. So the pictures show the cars in the worst possible light. Imo in person the m smorts looked amazing especially in estoril blue, i think it will go on to be the definative colour/model combination to have.

I'd rather have the VW T5 in the background ;-). Wish they would sell that here. Perhaps with VWs expanding model range they will consider the next gen van for here. Lets not talk about the Routan abomination.
