When I looked at the Z4 the color that I was immediately attracted to was Misano Blue. It really popped, was a head turner so I ordered it.

When Thundernight Metallic was initially introduced on the M240i I looked at it at my dealer and wasn't sure if it was a keeper. In fact I even talked a close friend out of ordering it as we both thought that after a year he would get tired of looking at it. After much discussion he switched to Portimao Blue instead.

Now that Thundernight Metallic is available on the Z4 my opinion has changed. This is a great color for a roadster and would be my first choice if I was ordering a Z4 today.

I think you need a poll to answer that question!

That was too much work as I am still working on my first cup of coffee.
Just say yes or no so we would know which side you were on.

[ebirotedu]

Hah!

Yes, I'm going to say that I think Thundernight Metallic is the hot new color, and for good reason as it looks great. And I expect to see more than a few Z4s in this color on the road over the next few years.

That said, part of the reason I ended up with Frozen Grey is that I appreciate low profile colors that make it easy for a car to disappear and not be easily noticed in traffic. So even if I am pro-TM as a colorway, I'm not convinced I'd pull the trigger myself.

Yes. It’s my current second favorite BMW standard color offering.

What is the name of the non metallic grey color I’ve seen on some X3’s and smaller sedans?

IMHO, Frozen Grey and the other "Frozen" shades that are offered on other BMW models are in a class by itself.

Not for me but this build is FIRE:

Frozen Grey?

I say no.

Too flashy for me, I would love to see mineral grey metallic, but frozen grey does pop in a subtle way. I received many compliments and people believe it is a wrap.

No, that’s not the one, I’m familiar with it. I did a little checking and it could be Brooklyn Grey.

[ebirotedu]

Ah. I think Westside Guys is the subforum cheerleader for that color.

Looks too much like wet cement to me.

I think you are referring to Brooklyn Grey, BMW considers it a metallic color.

I resemble that remark!

[stlcdr]

You mean purple?

(BMW does seem to have the widest ranging color palette to suit every taste - just not on specific cars).

Yeah, I think I may have to order this.

Only question is: with or without 50 year M emblem?

Get them then swap out later?

[gkgeiger]

I thought ‘22 was 50 years.

Personally I think that Thunderbird Metallic is vile. No need for a poll

[Horseman]

I really do love that Thundernight. Brooklyn Gray is also really nice IMO.

So, when you wash the car, it's just wash and be done, no wax? That's sort of genius.

Different strokes for different folks.

As I said in my opening post, this is a great color for a roadster and would be my first choice if I was ordering a Z4 today.
