I do love that Fire Red!

Reminds me a little of Ferrari Red:

Marcus is smoking good ole ganja. What a bunch of BS, as internal sale projections are so dismal, its time to role out the one-trick pony show of special editions for at least 20 M8 coupes being sold in Canada.

Frozen black is stunning, but only in the showroom. Too much of pain to maintain outside of the sterile showroom bubble.

Wish they would have done a photoshoot with the old and new models side-by-side.

Nice looking M regardless.

Finally BMW got it right and kept the black cover on the center console. I really don't like the idea that my center console needs to be highlighted with contrasting leather. Well done BMW. 🙌🏻

That's a purdy 8. A friend of mine has it on his M5C and it's as stunning in-person.

Obviously, I bias my dark silver but that's a close second.

Agreed as I have full Fiona Red/Black on my M850i and it has the Fiona on the center console. Looks so much better with black on the console so now I have to erase the image from memory in order for it to not bug the shit out of me every time I'm in the M850i! WTF BMW? You can only figure this out on a "special edition"? Oh wait... that's the marketing up sell appeal.

Memory fully erased along with the fact I'd never play in the BS BMW marketing up sell campaign for basically the same car with just a few cosmetic updates. Loving the M850i and just returned from delivering a few groceries (purchased earlier and ties into my other update on smoking an AMG S-Coupe on the drive home from the grocery store) to an elderly family friend whom is at risk from COVID-19.

Loving the interior on the M850i at night with the B&W lighting set to white and the ambient LED set to blue. Perfect contrast against the Fiona Red/Black irregardless that the console is in Fiona.

A few months back my wife looked over my shoulder while I was on the forum reading one of your posts, and saw your favorite choice of emoji and it really cracked her up, as it does me when I see it and Would Mrs Bloozeman concur these fit your obviously non-emotional personality; in a good way of course

Most definitely. What attracted me to my wife was her amazing smile and a love to laugh. Hence, I work overtime to make her laugh to see that smile as much as possible. On the flip side her enjoyment is making me jump, i.e., sneaking up on me and in some way startling me. I lose in that situation but it's worth it as I get to see her smile.

I'm a facts oriented individual, research every purchase over $500 and that drives her up the wall. We're a good match though as she brings the spontaneity to my life that without her I'd still be checking all the facts on a proposed vacation () and not enjoying life as much as I should. In fact her Ying to my Yang is why the M850i is in the garage.

we are similar, my wife and I have a rule that we don't spend over 500 without the others approval. I broke that rule with the m850i and she's still mad.

Spontaneity is the spice of life, you're very blessed she still has it and you guys still share it especially after many years of marriage. I dated a girl many, many moons ago who was an absolute hoot, one evening while dressing for a formal affair we were playing around busting each others chops a bit and she laughingly sprayed me with my shaving gel and got me good, I chased her around and got her back with a giant blast of powder, she ruined my tux and I ruined her gown but we laughed our asses off and had another amazing night.

Feel your pain on that. Flip side is I'm the only one toiling over the research on a $500 or greater purchase as it's just ingrained into me from my parents that did that at even $50 considering they raised 3 kids on a combined salary that is far less than an annual bonus for me. For the wife whom is an underpaid teacher (just like all the rest here in AZ) she gets to do what she wants with her income as it is not even a rounding factor in our finances.

That said her vice is purses and when I see a new Louis Vuitton I'll make a comment or two on "wants vs needs". Then again she pushed me towards the "want" of the M850i vs my "need" focus and I'll forever be grateful for that. Life is too short and thankfully the wife is the Ying to my Yang but I will never jeopardize our future for a "want" regardless.
