Just had that discussion this morning with my wife. The vast majority of BMWs available here in North Florida/South Georgia are black or white.

And most of the blacks are black on black, which produce really quite the...environment...here during our super-heated/humid summers.

I can't begin to imagine what whoever is ordering these things is thinking.
I'm also in Florida and quickly came to the same conclusion. That's why I grabbed an M8 coupe in Marina Bay Blue. Several days after I purchased the car, BMW announced there wouldn't be any US coupe or convertible production in 2021. Within two weeks, all of the other cars I was considering were sold. Unless you're looking for black on black or white with black, buy now. The car costs too much to have to settle.
