Question Is anyone ordering Sao Paulo Yellow?

I'm thinking of getting the M3 base with Sao Paulo Yellow and the blue/yellow interior. Anyone else?

I don't dislike it at all, it looks amazing.

It's just I personally would never own a bright colored car like that. I like it more decent. But when I see one I certainly like it and look at it.

I would love to get it with the yas seats if I thought I could pull off the color in all situations such as driving into work. And as I'd likely be the only one in a 100mi radius I'd have to make sure I drove tamely around town so people wouldn't be like, "there goes that crazy guy in the yellow BMW again."

Agreed w/ work and town. Don’t want to be that guy.

I would like that color better if there were a little less green in the yellow.

I actually like the bit of green. Makes it a little bit more interesting and less like a banana.

I don't hate it, and I'm not sure I like any of the other colors better. I want to try both kinds of seats before ordering, so I have time to decide whether I am willing to pay for an individual color I like better.

Do it. SPY with black wheels & lots of Carbon bits will look magic.

I have the G82 on order in the SPY and Yas Marina interior colour combo. Delivery sometime in late March/April! I think it's a great unique combo. But I understand that some people might want to go with something more tame due to work or personal reasons.

ya my order (per my sig) is the press launch combo: SPY on YMB! I saw it at my local dealer and was stunning esp the interior. It's prob more a case of SPY is the only paint imo that works with the YMB interior and thus I went with it lol

That was going to be my color combo. I want to see the color in person though. Maybe a little to highlighter-ish.

OP

I 100% work from home and only travel via plane (normally) so I could pull off the yellow.I just don't want it to be too loud of a color. Need to see it live I guess. All of my BMW's have been bright though...

It is between SPY and IOMG or BG.

If I end up getting one may do custom color such as Speed Yellow of Porsche.

I was initially considering an M3 base with SPY and the YMB carbon bucket interior. However, upon seeing more pictures of SPY I didn't like how SPY blots out the curves and lines in the body styling.

I prefer how a metallic color like IOMG sharpens up the lines - looks more chiseled to me. I'd get it with KO carbon bucket interior.

- SPY G80 with black interior & black 826 rims or...
- Black G80 with SPY/blue interior & SPY Mperformance rims.
Carbon seats of course.
Either choice would look absolutely amazing.

Keep in mind that color is not the only factor in those pics as the M3 has more defined lines than the M4 and it shows that chiseled look that you're looking for!
