Not a fan of purple either but it might looks ok on smaller car like M2 but definitely not on this 200" Car
I recall when BMW introduced the especial F13 M6 Competition Edition in Austin Yellow which was awful while M4 AY was really nice looking car.

Also, I just realized the front tire of the M5 has a thicker sidewall than a base accord. 285*.4=114 vs 225*.5=112.5

I know bmw tested it for handling blah blah but really takes away from that sporty aggressive look.

And G90 wheels are 1.2” larger than F90 wheels.

When did they stop doing Mediterranean Blue Metalic? I don't see it on the Individual list. I loved that color.

Thank you. And for others that weren’t aware, they are available on BMW press club website as has been the case for many, many years.

I have Med Blue on my G30 540i. It’s a beautiful color, but has been on the standard color palette for several years since the F30 3er and G30 5er, possibly earlier. As much as I love it, it’s not really a bold M color like San Marino Blue or Marina Bay Blue.

They aren't yet. They were made exclusively for attendees at the event to prepare their reviews. I had to ask for permission to release them early. They might end up on the press club after the embargo

Embargo is lifted as all 6 photo sets are now on BMW Pressclub. I get regular emails from them based on my notification preferences, but how does one become an insider to get invites to these special events? I've been an owner for 30 years, including M cars but maybe I'm not in the right city.

You need to be part of media. As far as I know, there are no owners invited to these media launches.
