Color choice advise for 2025 M3C

Hello everyone!
I am looking to order the 2025 G80 M3C. I seem to like the following combos but can't make up my mind. Any advise or feedback?

1. Skyscraper grey with Fiona Red
2. Toronto Red with Fiona Red
3. IOMG with Tartufo
4. IOMG with Kalyami Orange

Its safe to say that no. 1 is the typical and safe choice. No. 2, 3 and 4 are slightly loud and unique colors for the G80. I was thinking of going for an individual color but decided against it.

It's an M3. It's a fun car. Get it in a fun color! (#2 or #4)!

Dravit + Kyalami
IOMG + Kyalami

Are my favorites. I always regret "safe" color choices on sporty cars and I do it constantly (not to say that Skyscraper or Brooklyn aren't beautiful colors)

An individual exterior color and then you can choose from mild to wild. I absolutely love my f82 in Moonstone Metallic exterior + Opal White interior. The car never appears to show the same color every time you approach the car.

How does Tartufo pair in your opinion?

From what I think, Kalyami is a brighter color that’s slightly difficult to upkeep.

I don't have an M3, but for what it's worth I have an Ivory White interior. I was worried about the upkeep as well, but it's not an issue at all. I just use a leather cleaner on it like every few months and it's easy to keep looking nice.

Did anyone get IOMG with Fiona red?
Would love to hear your thoughts on this combo or see some pictures.

Thanks!

My M3 has Kyalami and my wife’s X3 has Tartufo, and I wouldn’t say once it’s easier to keep than the other. Both benefit from a proper cleaning once a year to keep them looking matte and fresh

With IOMG probably really well - sort of a classic British combo even though their greens are a bit darker.

I think upkeep will be the same for both.

The nice thing about Tartufo is that even dirty it still looks good (like a well worn in baseball glove).

Thanks everyone, I’m leaning towards IOMG but still finalizing the interior. The orange is more sporty for sure with the black accents, but there’s something both classy and sporty when it comes to Tartufo paired with a green car.

They're both going to look really good with IOMG.

Kyalami will be the sportier/aggressive look.

Tartufo will be the more luxurious/classy look.

Depending on which look you're leaning toward, they're both winners.

One of my only regrets on my M3 spec was not paying for an individual color. Tartufo is gorgeous, so I'd say IOMG plus tartufo out of these choices.
