The design of the 20 in wheels really blends well with YMB from all the pictures that have been posted here.

I voted AY cause the color is just so stunning in person.
I got talked out of it when ordering my M4, prob for the best since I tend to drive aggressively.
The other option that really works is the MW/SO. The combo really pops.

Thats my other thoughts, but AY not that bright and police will not gave to it too much attention,it's not as screaming as Red

May be White is more Bright...

When Yas rolls in everyone stops to notice. You will get almost daily compliments on the car wherever you go. Yas doesn't come to the party, the party starts when Yas arrives

Congrats, went today to local Dealer to take a look on M3 AY, but didn't find any in Bay Area, last one went to West Cost, because they couldn't sell it here, so I take a look on Mineral White M3 ZCP and M4 AY, still not sure...

You can never go wrong with black n white, as much as I like bright colors, since you plan on 2-3yrs of ownership, resell will be harder.

I love white, it's fresh n clean, timeless, goes well with any color wheels n brakes, any interior color too(but SO looks bomb)if you are doing carbon roof and do tinted windows, contrast looks real good, plus carbon add ons

AY is unique, I don't mind the inca cola hue

YAS looks great when it's dark, but too pastel/baby blue for me

BSM is a better hue of black, metallic makes it nice n shows less scratches, but still a bitch to keep clean, plus the lack of contrast on the front end, you don't see the big grill openings, also kills the look of the carbon roof, worst of all, gets way hotter, but when clean it's amazing

SS2 is a great color, I'm typically not a silver fan, but this color is great, kind of silver, kinda bluish, easy to keep n doesn't get dirty as easily, if I didn't go white, ss2 is nice

SO is nice, a little orange n a little red, really like this too, but I didn't get it for one reason, kills the tail lights, no contrast, I know I could tint them, but nah, plus I don't think they sell well

MG is nice n classy, I like it but also kills the carbon roof contrast

Just my 2cents

Good luck

I have an alpine white on fox red e90 m3 and love tha combo, but on the f80 I'm going ymb on silver stone interior. It is sharp in person. Didn't like ymb at all when the car came out but now the more I see it, the more I love it. Definitely a head turner.

MW/So looks like a good plan and I will have CF roof and tint, but not planing anything CF except rear M4 Stile Spoiler, so will be not that much contrast black parts (because I have experience with the lip and I did scratch it all the time, and CF diffuser without lip is not working for me, so will be only CF Spoiler), for me top 2 options right now is MW/SO and AY/Black, because Black Sapphire Metallic is too hard to keep clean and black showing all scratches on your car, and YAS... I am just not sure about this color at all.

It's some how super hard to decide, when I first saw the car a Year ago, I was sure that I want Black, then when I was start planing to order it, I was planing to go with AY/SO, but now when I have to order it this month I am not sure what will be the best option for me...

I would avoid white, waay too many white m4, and M3's.

I had a hard time choosing between Long Beach Blue or AW for my M2. Ultimately I wanted AW but there are just way to many white M's. I choose the LBB color.
