Lime Rock is a weird case. It is a special request color and not considered standard for some reason. It really stands out from all the other colors listed. I really not sure why. Might be a good idea to add it with a footnote?



BMW didn't "reuse it"

BMW M3 Lime Rock Edition came in Fire Orange color
BMW M3 CS came in Lime Rock Grey metallic color

One is the name of a color, another is a name of a special edition
Thanks for clarifying! My vote is for the Fire Orange for whoever was thinking about the M4 individual:D

After looking at all of the colors my favorite is Yas Marina Blue. There is something special about this color, it is a head turner every time I see one on the road. Also in my opinion it looks really different depending on the lighting and the color changes when viewed during the day vs. night.

I agree with this. The Yas Marina Blue just stands out in the nicest way. Guilty of having ignored a few green lights trying to get a better view of the car in the opposite lane :D
Don't get me wrong, I love the Misano Blue on my G29 Z4 but if Yas Marina Blue had been offered for the 2022's I would have selected it in a flash!

The interior is the perfect partner to the SRG. I would drive with the top down as often as possible to show it off. ;)

As some of you probably have noticed, BMW names some of their M colors after racing circuits, racing events or prominent racing locations. Some are quite known and obvious, some not so much. Here is a list I compiled so far. Let me know if I missed anything or if you spot any mistakes.
Maybe we can add Zandvoort Blue? :)

Bravo! Amazing post!
All those circuits I've never heard of-- but no love for Watkins Glen?

I have owned several BMWs in my life but the is my first full M car. We need to add a race in Brooklyn...
