I have been checking all the possible colors and still not sure which one will be the best especially for the touring version!
What would be your best color choice from the individual configurator:

Really good question. I'm struggling and that's all I'm down to - color choice. I'm leaning to frozen black but I think I'd want to ppf it and may lease so don't want to drop 8.5-9 on ppf when leasing. Actually, don't want to drop ppf money regardless of paint as I've pissed away so much in past three years on it. But in the end I'd probably ppf so here we are back to frozen black. But I don't want to ppf so here we are, back to struggling. It's real.

Frozen paints are a bitch to keep up. Basically can't do anything to them. If you even look at them crosseyed they get messed up. So you just lease it and never wash it for 3 years and turn it back in. meh

Matte PPF looks terrible. I've never seen a matte PPF job that looks as good as actual matte paint job. And I've seen plenty of matte PPF jobs that look horrible. They definitely don't last very long and really show age and wear over time.

Just pick a good gloss paint color, and do front end PPF only if you care about rock chips. An M5 is not special enough to warrant full body PPF.

It's not about the M5 being special - it's what allows me to sleep better at night. Even my Mini is full PPF. But I get it.

I did full PPF on the R8, but that's a car I intend to keep forever.

That color is amazing! I'm torn between isle of man green and mineral white metallic, which is an individual color, which is kind of dumb.

I placed my order in mineral white but haven't received a quote yet. If they charge me above $600 for it (mineral white is available on 550e as standard), I'm going isle of man green.

I love IOM Green, but now every kid at Cars n Coffee has an M3 in that color so I got really tired of seeing it. There might be 4-6 every weekend. They have ruined it for me.

Will individual be available immediately for order on these ? Specifically the touring

If I end up going with a G90 (time will tell) I would have a hard time not getting it in Laguna Seca Blue.

That's a great color and one of my top three. I have these other two in mind,

I like the San Marino! Is that darker than Marina Bay Blue? Seemed similar but hard to tell on iPhone.

San Marino is darker, and more purple-ish vs Marina Bay Blue. Not too many photos of the 2 in the same photo, with the same lighting. But basically marina bay is more blue, San Marino darker, with purple tones.
