    Why We Love It:

    An M8 Competition that could’ve easily been ordered by a big fan of BMW’s racing efforts, this Santorini Blue Tailored Driver is a very bold play. For years the M8 saw duty as BMW’s GT3 race car homologation of choice, most notably campaigned by Turner Motorsports here in the US. It also just happens that the Blue and Yellow livery donned by Turner features a blue that’s strikingly similar to the Santorini Blue seen here. While that’s all speculation, what isn’t is this Tailored Driver‘s ability to turn heads.

    Color Check: BMW Individual M8 Cabriolet in Brass Metallic

    One of our favorite manufacturer social media accounts is BMW M on Facebook. Not only have they created a BMW Individual configurator and post historical context on some of their most popular colors on their own corporate websites, they use this account to celebrate that work and highlight exquisite specifications of their cars using those colors.

    This week the color is Brass Metallic (messing; metallic UNI; 621; BMW). Yes, brown hues tend to be a bit inside baseball, subtler than intense yellows or blues and less obvious. That may why many buyers of tailored automobiles prefer them.

    Over the last few years, BMW has also been great at embracing these earth tones that are nods to interesting metals, with copper accents on some BMW i models, or colors like Brass Metallic. And, there’s no doubt this M8 in Brass Metallic looks great with other brown elements like its cognac style leather.
