Shout out to abu dabi motors for having the guts to order something different. Of course yellow is a tough color to match with the interiors unless you go with black on the inside.

I say you only live once so just get the color that you want inside and out and forget about what others might think.
Yellow is a color reserved for cars with sporting intention. This particular bmw dealer has lots of rich people with bad taste.

I think back to that Pyrite Brown F80.

This might be the ugliest BMW I have ever seen - between the grill, exterior color, interior color....good lord.

Taxicab tellow. And at least do a black interior with a color like that. As for the grill, I don't like it but in black it is not as bad. That will lead me to M package or replace the grills when I order later this year (assuming black LCI grills can be gotten apart from the M package).

That grill is horrible! Someone at BMW should get fired. The yellow color only makes things worse.

I own an Austin Yellow M3, and so I am obviously a bit biased... and when I first saw the thread title was a bit interested.

However... they destroyed this with all of the chrome, external trim pieces, the interior leather, etc. Ughhh...

Black out all of the exterior and interior trim, along with the leather. Change the wheels and minor drop, and at least you have something that is back into a sporty look.

To each their own... but for me, nope!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, unless said beholder is color blind.

I thought this was one of those big grill memes. This has to be some sort of joke BMW is having with us with those grills. ugh
