Unfortunately BMW has not offered us the option of paying extra for Individual colors from Austria where the G29 is manufactured along with the Supra on the same production line. 😡

While I would not pay the added amount for a frozen color, I would definitely consider it for an individual color. 👍🏻

Looks an awful lot like Misano Blue

I definitely see a difference.

How do you not see the side vent on G29 as a flesh wound? Only Sapphire Black will work with such side panel to hide the monstrosity away.

This again……lol

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the side of the car has functional venting. It’s more like Shark gill then a flesh wound. Look at the 718, yup, has a functional scoop.
Corvettes have had/have them, most sports cars do.
Miata’s do not, maybe that is the ticket! 🤔

It’s an interesting color isn’t it.

I suspect we all now understand your opinion but we don't have to agree with it.

These are Shark Gills

1967 StingRay

They told me to shut up. G29 has shark gills. Period.

MadBullogna · 01-15-2024, 10:23 PM

Lol ref gills stuff. I can certainly take various sides in, but IMO, something even semi-functional, versus what sooo many manufacturers are doing with faux vents,…..at least it’s both subtle & functional, in lieu of a 3M taped dohikey these days that’s strictly for appearance, lol.

I do like Misano Blue (though not as much as the Porsche Shark Blue), but is Misano Blue even still an option for the Z4?

I think most of us are open to opposing opinions but perhaps not beating a dead horse.

I love the side vents. They provide a splash of great color contrast for all colors other than black.

I believe not. Portimao Blue is the current blue color afaik

I never said shark gills, it has 1 so that’s why I said “shark gill” 😂
