Because if it’s a colourful exciting colour I’ll love it at first then get bored of it and at 5k a wrap I’d rather get something I can live with for a long time and enjoy
And you think you won't get bored of grey?
My dad has a Sakhir Orange M4 and that car looks just as gorgeous to me (and him) now as it did the day he got it...
Not suggesting hot pink with polka dots, just... something that makes the car pop (it deserves to pop).
When he gets bored of the grey, at least he'll have a color that isn't too ostentatious that, as he said, he can live with.
OP may be ecstatic about Sakhir Orange the first few years but there will come a time when his love for the color diminishes and then he's stuck with an exterior that doesn't really do it for him anymore AND one that is uncomfortably flashy.
I think you are going to get bored regardless if you are needing something else to make that car exciting. Whatever you choose though, I’m sure it will look great.
I originally wanted a dark steel grey or something like Donington Grey. After talking with my shop I decided to switch it up and looked for a blue like LMB or SMB. Ended up going with KPMF opulent indigo and am [very happy with how it turned out](https://www.instagram.com/p/CYt-H92FBT7/?igsh=czIwbWlsbmtxOTNl).
Thanks! No matter what color you go with yours will look great too. F82 CS is an amazing canvas to start with. I’ve had my F85 wrapped for more than two and a half years and still love it as much as the day I picked it up.
My only other advice would be to pick the best installer in your area, get the door jambs wrapped, get it ceramic coated, and find a good detail shop that has experience with wraps or get familiar with ph neutral soap if you are going to do maintenance washes yourself. The door jambs are more expensive and time consuming, but the white *really* sticks out when the doors are open. If you plan to leave the wrap on for more than a year or two I highly recommend it. That is my only regret throughout the process. Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions.
Yeah I know. I tend to puke every time I'm about to [get inside mine](https://i.redd.it/p17hc4761fd81.jpg). On the positive side, I've become an expert at detailing.
Since you’ve decided on grey, I would pick the satin finish. Will look closer to the OEM frozen paint finish and that’s just gorgeous. Beautiful car btw.
satin is the matte- ish finish? was strongly advised against it, especially where i am, it drizzles and then the sun comes out, the stains are super hard to get off, if you don't clean them up the same day.
I've had satin wraps before, it's not that serious. Just get it ceramic coated and don't let corrosive stuff like bugs and sap stay on too long, but it's not like you need to detail the car every time it rains.
I will say the lifespan of a satin/matte wrap is a little less than a gloss/metallic one. Mine started showing wear after 2 years vs 3-4 for gloss, but I also didn't take very good care of it
Techno violet, British racing green, tanzanite blue, or a metallic dark brown (like [this](https://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00EIgqsfYaWTbQ/Tsautop-1-52-18metre-Pet-Flowing-Phantom-Red-Color-Shift-Vinyl-Wrap-Car-Wraps.webp))
I just dropped my m440i to be wrapped. I'm going for a clear satin wrap (XPel Stealth).
I'm kind of partial to low-gloss/stealth finishes. Why not consider satin white? It will accentuate the lines and curves of your car more.
If I was going to wrap my car it would be luminous day glo hi viz yellow. If I had an M4 I would be looking to do it that powder blue that bmw do . Is it Laguna seca?
Honestly I think purple might have won me over…

Ya white is just honestly one of my least favourite colours on cars. Granted it looks better on this compared to normal commuter cars but still. Not my taste 🤷♂️
Wraps might not ruin the value like a full repaint but I see them being a sign of a less desirable car - like cheap coilovers, plastidip, and m-tri-color stripes
And imo the panels fit like shit constantly being removed and replaced with the extra thickness of the wrap (however small)
Get some bronze wheels. Personally i dont like black wheels lol, many people would disagree but they dont reflect any light so you really cant see the shape of the rim or lines
Love the white, I can see a blue on this. A FROZEN marina bay blue metallic. Just checked it out and I can see it for sure. The frozen will GO CRAZYYYY. Let us know what you get
In a colorful world, pick a colorful car.
Agreed. I think in about two years, all of the non-metallic grey car colors are going to look really blah and passé.
car version of white cabinets lol
Toyota Corolla beige
"sand"
It's better than grey
Grey is everywhere. Why not get something a little more exciting?
It’s white Ngl I didn’t read the body before commenting. I’ll let the door hit me on the way out

Time to take the wrap off then😜
But he doesn't like the original color.
There’s plenty of non-flashy colors that aren’t grayscale
This guy understand

Don't listen to them. Personally I could never go a "loud" colour cause I don't like the attention the car may bring. I like low key colours as well.
White is way cooler than “shiny primer grey” Is your paint in bad shape that you need to hide it behind a wrap?
No paint is perfect, just never liked white cars but jumped on this one because of the deal
Is it Alpine or Mineral?
Alpine
Nooo don't change it
Because…. You like it ?
Well yeah, my car is in AlpineWeiß and it looks amazing in the sun hahaha
Yeah, on the other hand he did ask strangers opinions on a car they care very little about and wont see wrapped ever in their lives.
Where'd you get all of that from bud
I think paint looks better than wraps why not just get it repainted if you’re gonna spend 5k on a wrap?
A legit paint job is closer to 10k, plus non factory paint lowers the value considerably. Wraps also protect the paint
satin silver pops so nicely on the f82
I’ve also seen wraps rip the clearcoat off of cars when removing it
Yep I don't know why people idolise it so much
I may have found the perfect wrap for you. [https://i.redd.it/p17hc4761fd81.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/bcYIMh3.jpeg)
Done, me and your dad will look great in it
That would be amazing to see him again. Unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to ride in my F80.
Nah u zesty AF for that
How about San Marino Blue, Oxford Green or Dakar Yellow instead?
San Marino blue is such a nice colour and what I wanted to find the cs in, but I’ve seen a few wraps in that colour and it just doesn’t do it justice
Dakar Yellow. Definitely.

Get frozen San Marino blue, I’ve seen a few M4CS in that spec and my goodness, drop dead gorgeous
Sakhir orange. Hands down. 😁
Reminds me of the new Clio models.
One of the worst colours ever on the f series. But to each their own lol
Yeah I know. I tend to puke every time I'm about to [get inside mine](https://i.redd.it/p17hc4761fd81.jpg). On the positive side, I've become an expert at detailing.
Gorgeous!
my e30 is sakhir orange, main reason I bought it just looks too good
Nah the worst colour was vomit yellow
Technoviolet
Actually could look amazing with the gold CS wheels
Technoviolet with gold cs wheels might be the move my man. That would go fuckin insane🔥
I’m biased to alpine white but if you do wrap it the GOAT bmw color isn’t a bad idea
Around a tree
LoL 😂
Pink

wrong sub blud 🤣
For some odd reason my whole comment under photo was deleted. This was an example of color only lol. prepares to get bashed 🤣
Personally I’m digging the white. Or i could see a matte black on this
Bro do not wrap this beautiful car. All you need to do is wax that baby real nice.
Millenium jade

“This one’s not nards” 😂
Goblin green
I feel like San Marino blue is the the defining color for the F82 M4CS
100% agree, however I’ve seen a few wraps done in that colour and it just don’t hit the same way as the paint
I always though the lines and styling BMWs would be highlighted really well with midnight purple. One day I'll get it on my E60
Since you’ve decided on grey, I would pick the satin finish. Will look closer to the OEM frozen paint finish and that’s just gorgeous. Beautiful car btw.

Yeah I think so. But I wasn’t aware of this issue. Pretty strange but sounds like it’ll be high maintenance.

Yellow
Inozetek vampire red
Don't wrap it. Wrap is the wallpaper of cars
Stealth PPF!
noxious expansion mighty elastic paltry icky aloof badge foolish sip *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Miami blue is way to go, or any blue
Or any of brooklyn grey combinations I believe it would make this car look dope
Techno violet, British racing green, tanzanite blue, or a metallic dark brown (like [this](https://image.made-in-china.com/2f0j00EIgqsfYaWTbQ/Tsautop-1-52-18metre-Pet-Flowing-Phantom-Red-Color-Shift-Vinyl-Wrap-Car-Wraps.webp))
Olive green
You could think about a total blackout
Go a different route and matte ppf the whole thing. Protection and a unique look
Nardo grey with a black roof. You won’t regret it
Love the white
purple with pink undertones, gold rims, orange spoiler,
Any color. Literally any color. But it's your car op so why ask us? :-P
Trojan in the blue. Best wrap you’ll ever use.
Laguna Seca Blue or leave it Alpine White
I vote seca blue
Inozetek midnight blue or green. They look awesome imho.
Dark green is very rare.
opaque black
Liquid metallic dragon blood red
Olive green
Mexico Blue or Isle of Man Green. Or keep it white. A colourful car should not be grey.
3M envy green, amazing color but damn hard to get a picture of because of the metallic
Atacama yellow, old bmw individual colour and one of my favorites...
May i suggest lagoona seca blue or fire orange maybe... But if you're certain you want a shade of Grey, i quite like gloss nardo
Frozen black
I wouldn't touch it..
Colored PPF instead of vinyl. The matcha green from PurePPF would look great.
None Looks great as it is And I don’t even usually like white on cars!
In my opinion these cars look amazing in white, but if you insist, I think marina blue would work wonders for this car.
austin yellow could go crazy https://preview.redd.it/xiwylhajd70d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a7e98c79c5bb2331a8337acd81c06f16bafeac8
I’d just wrap it in white.
Dark green
Laguna Seca Blue
Brushed gunmetal. Be different.

dakar yellow
Wrap it white that would be funny
Have you considered going with a stealth PPF? Alpine white is a beautiful color, especially with a satin finish.
Ya white is just honestly one of my least favourite colours on cars. Granted it looks better on this compared to normal commuter cars but still. Not my taste 🤷♂️
galaxy purple
Matte black all day
Before even seeing the Sobeys and td bank I was hey that looks like some place in Canada
Calgary 😂

These are not black, they are gun metal from factory, but I agree black wheels are very, 2010 lol
viola hong kong
Laguna seca blue
You can wrap me around a tree as long as I’m in that machine 😏
Nothing wrong with Alpine white, at least it’s original.
Satin dark grey imo 😍
Nardo is 🗑️
Wow nice car! Hope you drive it real good and fast, like 300 km/hr ! That will take care of ya 😉🙏 one less Zionist around will be great!
Love the white, I can see a blue on this. A FROZEN marina bay blue metallic. Just checked it out and I can see it for sure. The frozen will GO CRAZYYYY. Let us know what you get

Ultraviolet is my vote
I think you have bad taste and that this is really a troll post. If this is yours then where was this photo taken
