hmmm, Toronto Red with sakhir orange leather, on the X4M builder it looks okay, in real life, yeah not so sure...

was thinking ivory white with toronto red, but doesn't look good in config

actually I thought the rumor was the G generation might have the M4GC, but you are probably 2-3 years away.

black on black

No Azurite black, seems like BMW and stopped giving this color as an option in newer models.

If I bought one, would have to get an individual color, none of these colors (other than domington gray and toronto red) stand out to me at all, the german rainbow must be full of black white gray, and more gray

except you won't be able to get individual colors (these are being built in SC).
I am in the same boat, on the M Exclusive colors have any interest, but if I go toronto red the only interior option really is black (I think the gray looks horrible), would have loved to see two tone red/black seats or even red stitching. I just don't think the SO interior will look good on the Donnington exterior either, think the Sophisto gray, black, or white is the only thing you can pair with the SO interior.

I will love to see the take rate on those horrible gray/SO seats.
Switzerland doesn't even look like they are offering them

[Mako]

thats a lot of red/orange, if only the seats had more black in them and less SO...

anyone who has SO interior, how does it look in person? my SO exterior changes with light (can look RED at times or rusty...), obviously the leather won't have that going on.

[Mako]

interesting thing is that it looks better on my work PC than my home PC (home PC has the better monitor for colors...)

I have heard an opposite. They ditched GTs and going only with sedans and tourings. There are already some spy shots (https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-ne.../bmw/3-series/).

I have SO interior in my F80 with the MWM exterior. I'd never say the SO looks orange with an interior like it does on the exterior, just straight up "in your face" red.

so there is a chance it might be pretty close to Toronto red since that looks like an in your face red.

I've had SO on both my M3 and M4 and I would say it will not match Toronto Red. I think SO willl go well with any of the colors but Toronto Red . then again, that's just my opinion

Swiss site is awesome. Right click photo and "full screen" and it takes up my whole monitor (38" widescreen, pretty amazing, dash view feels like I am in the car). US site doesn't have that option.
guess this only works for dash view, still pretty cool

interesting option "active seat ventilation" so I guess it will be available!

[Fugly M3]

It appears to have the new sagging exhaust!

Although BMW Marketing seems to be pushing the utilitarian aspect of the X3M with every image having bulky-appearing roof rails and moon roof, would suggest it may be beneficial to share some without (as the competition is doing with the marketing of their high-performance offerings - Urus, Stelvio Quad, SVR, and Levante Trofeo). To that end, have edited the black roof lines from the Configurator images:

Shall have to wait for X3M CS LCI2 for that

Agreed, SO interior might be a closer match to Toronto Red than the SO exterior, but Toronto is probably still a tad deeper of a red. You might look like my 6 year old trying to say her "red" pants match her "red" shirt because they're both "red".

It might be close enough if you really want a red/red car (especially if you plan to tint the windows a tad), but I'd let someone else make that decision first and try to find them to see it in person.

Not sure if M-sport differential 2T4 available in M40i X3/X4 is the one n same in the X3M/X4M, if yes then chalk one more less differentiation. Next would be making the competition-suspension as dealer installed option on non M, wait which one is M which one is not again

Orders placed today will be delivered in our country end of August !
Driving Assistant Plus is not available on Competition models. It confirms the statement of the Niki Shields in the presentation video. But German Pricelist stated the opposite.
Like cockpit won't come on X3M and X4M models in August.
No differences of dampers between regular M and Competition.
No Package available as seen on regular X3 and X4

The diff will not be the same I am sure. M cars always have different diffs. Nothing will be the same as M40i except some skin and interior.
