An M4 or M3 also looks fantastic with BRG!

I am usually a fan of BRG, but it is not doing it for me on this M5.
Though, truth of the matter is, I am kind of bored with this M5. I am just not as enthused about like I was, say, 3 months ago.

I think British Racing Green only suits a very small number of cars, such as the E-Type Jag and suchlike.
As for the M5, I too think it's a bit boring already. What doesn't help is seeing spy shots for many years before the official launch, which includes the base G30 well in advance of the F90. If you think the first spy shots for the G30 were in 2014/2015 (?), it's getting on for four years since we saw what is essentially the same shape as the F90. Overfamiliarity is a problem.

I would say that none of the colours on the previous page does the 5er any favour

I've only seen the F90 M5 in two colours in real life. That matt red, and Marina Bay Blue. Neither impressed me much. Marina Bay Blue, contrary to my expectations, is a poor relation to San Marino Blue.
Based on photos alone, the colour for me should I order an M5 (which I am not doing), is Donington Grey.

BMW M GmbH, formerly known as BMW Motorsport GmbH, is a subsidiary of
BMW AG that manufactures high-performance luxury cars. BMW M ("M" for "motorsport")
was initially created to facilitate BMW's racing program, which was very successful
in the 1960s and 1970s. As time passed, BMW M began to supplement BMW's vehicle
portfolio with specially modified higher trim models, for which they are now most
known by the general public. These M-badged cars traditionally include modified engines,
transmissions, suspensions, interior trims, aerodynamics, and exterior modifications
to set them apart from their counterparts. All M models are tested and tuned at BMW's
private facility at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany.
