I ended up getting IOMG with full Kalyami orange!

Thanks for all your inputs.

I just liked the orange better in person and decided that I wanted a more sportier vibe.

Did you get full or extended leather?

Full!
The orange is much better in person.

Great choice! While it's a pretty common color combo due to the launch spec, I think it's probably the best one. Both crazy unique and dynamic.

My second choice is not on your list, but would be Dravit on Fiona red. Looks incredible, but I like IOMG too much.

I like Dravit too but it’s too common on other brands. Plus, will be slightly harder to maintain.

Haha looks like we had the same dilemma.

I was stuck between Dravit and IOMG w/ Full KO.

I think Kyalami and Dravit are a match made in heaven and I think Dravit is one of the nicest colors BMW offers.

My biggest hesitation on Dravit was that gray is such a common color, even though this particular one is insane... and I've had way too many gray cars. Another is that I see almost every BMW model rocking Dravit from time to time on the East Coast.

The first time I saw an IOMG G8x, I knew I wanted it so I stopped complicating it in my mind and just went with it. My R8 is Daytona Pearl. Beautiful color but boring as all shit and I really wish I would have went with something else.

IOMG with Tartufo for sure, the tree colorway is unbeatable. theres something about brown leather seats that emanates luxury.

edit: just noticed you got iomg w kyalami. still a great combo. definitely more unique than a green and brown

Garage List
Skyscraper is a great grey (and much less common on the road than Brooklyn); very versatile and less likely to catch your local Highway Patrol Officer's eye. Perfect silver/grey with your choice of a 'fun' interior color like Fiona.

I'd do IOMG, though, if fun was on the menu; but I have a gnarly soft spot for greens on cars: IOMG, San Remo, British RG.

I had a grey and black car. Got most of my tickets with those colors. With my M2C in LBB, no tickets.
IOMG will probably be the same (touch wood).
