I am just wondering what are your favorite colors on the 4GC. I personally can't really decide, though, our 428i GC is in Alpine White.

Tanzanite Blue
Alpine White
Mineral White
Grey Cashmere
Mineral Grey
Silver

I have driven a black car for 6 years, black shines like crazy don't get me wrong, but just wanted a change, and white stays cooler.

White in the Gran Coupe looks bigger to me, and love the contrast with the rear diffuser, where on the darker colors it blends in an gets lost.

If money was no object I probably would have seriously looked at the BMW Individual Colors, may be the gray?

That is quite true from my experience with the car.
There is somebody who lives near us, and he drives a F30 316i m-sport in Smoked Topaz, which actually looks pretty cool

I think the MG really looks rich on the 4GC or BSM. I like the darker colors on that body style it really makes the car looks mean!

I remember on a review of the 4GC, the journalist said almost the same thing. He said that darker colors suit the car much more than bright colors.

Carbon Black .... It's like three colors in one. Plus it is rare (maybe not on the GC, but overall it is)

Black in the dark / at night
Deep blue metallic in the sun
And in the shade/cloudy weather it is this rich lustrous bluish black almost wet look

All that being said ... It's a b!tch to keep clean

don't get me wrong AW and even MW almost always make BMW models looks good but ever since I saw the 4GC in MG and BSM I have been all about those two. Shoot who am I kidding I would drive the 4GC in any of the BMW allocated colors its such a great looking car!

I do agree the 4GC looks meaner too in darker colors. But I love the perceived size difference better. The first 4GC I ever saw in person was a dark color, and at first glance it looked a bit small like a 240z, but then you finally realize it's not.

But in almost any color the car is great!

Remember, it is also pretty expensive to fix if you scratch it...

of course, it looks much better in person than in any photo i've ever seen. That was my first reaction after seeing the car.

Your mind will be blown when you see yours for the first time in person, even though it should look roughly the same as ours

Looking forward to it!!

Midnight blue Metallic. There is a reason all the promo photos show the GC in that colour.

I saw a 435 in Moonstone and it was stunning!

The promo photos show the GC in Carbon Black, but MBM does look pretty good from what I saw in the configurator, but it isn't available with M-sport package.

I just ordered a 435GC in Carbon Black. Such a difficult decision however, it looks great in the showroom! Also had a hard time with interior color. Oyster leather looks great however, I am worried about keeping it clean so I went with Black Dakota with Ash Trim. I hope it is not Black Overload!

Yeah I was so tempted to go wit the Ivory Leather with Black dash, it looks soo cool. but I remembered trying to keep the "yellow/gold" leather in my previous Bmw clean and it was a bit of a hassle. It looked great but cleaning is a hassle.

And after awhile the leather started wearing (colour). But even with that I got a quick and good resale.

We have ordered ours in Glacier silver, with coral red, never thought about silver before, but our present e46, is dark green, and it shows the dirt scratches. We went to demo one and it was silver, really stood out,there had recently been one of those showers filled with dust, and all the cars looked dull/dirty, but the silver still looked pristine, so that's what clinched it for us,we have gone for sportline, because I preferred the 19inch wheels to the m sport, but sad to be missing out on the m sport steering wheel, paid an extra £50 to upgrade the sportline steering wheel to better leather.

Nice! I've never seen Carbon Black in person though...
