My first thought would be to go all Black Sapphire Metallic like my previous 750i. That would function to hide much of the cheap looking plastics on the trim and the grille.

Hard to keep it looking clean with BSM, but when cared for properly it’s tough to beat.

I don’t have anything to base that on, but it’s just hard to imagine given the weight.

Well then.. if I’m dreaming I’ll take a B5 Wagon with the same drivetrain, but let me have the air suspension from an XB7 so I can adjust the ride height at will.

If you can't paint it in Blu Uranus like the Temerario, is it even worth it?


Yes that is a legitimate paint colour for the Temerario.

I think you will find that the G80 has not grown on the vast majority of car enthusiasts—-sorry to say! I can’t remember the last BMW that had so much sustained disdain for its design.

By comparison the G87 definitely grew on many people—

The M5 has a different problem, its massive weight.

Should come in March 2025. For me black interior looks the best, the other two-tone are weird.

Yep agreed, the black portion of the coloured seat is a weird detail

On my m3 touring spec’ing individual ivory made the full seat a single colour

BMW should be dark or dark blue… other colors are not classic.

BS is an easy color makes every car briliant no latter how small or big that car is. I had this chance to have it on 3 cars ( one F13 and two F92)

That’s a whole lotta car there. She’s a thic girl as they say lol. As in it’s to freaking tall. Just like the sedan. The ridiculous unneeded batteries have made the car to high and out of proportion and needlessly heavy. This thing is heavier than the sedan right? What’s the extra weight on this thing 200 lbs I would guess? lol what a joke. Honestly if Audi don’t fuck yup the rs7 sedan/wagon the way bmw has here they will eat bmw ‘s lunch.

My first BMW was in Sparkling Graphite Metallic. Loved the color and complexity in different lighting, but also ease of maintaining it. Greys hide dirt better IMO. My current BSM misses that deep black shine, but then I might need to step up my detailing game

When spending 5k$ on an individual color I would however not spend it on grey or black.

passed an RS6 on the way to work this morning (right after passing an M8!), and it just cements my desire for one over this. literally no good angles

the sunroof is standard. what you can’t get is a CF roof. plus the sunroof glass doesn’t open or vent.

just incredible.

As an RS6 owner I won’t lie, they are pretty awesome. But I am ready for something different.

Like all cars though, the RS6 can have some issues. Be ready for $5k brake jobs every 15,000 miles if it doesn’t have ceramics. Maybe there are now, but there were no aftermarket pads or rotors.

The BSG can completely crap the bed leaving you stranded

There was a production period with faulty valve springs that can completely grenade the engine (ask me how I know about that one!)

Looks pretty decent, but got to do it in black in order to hide the bucktooth in the back.

G90/99 is going to burn through pads faster than an RS6.
