I think this is the ugliest factory color I've seen on a car in a long time.

Its not yellow. Its not green. Its not gold. Its some sort of paint code error that someone was too embarrassed to fix.

That is all.

I'd have to see it in person.... I'm pretty sure I saw that color and didn't think too badly of it. At least it's not school bus yellow or mustard yellow, lol.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

I'd prefer school bus yellow or mustard yellow, at least I'd know what it was trying to be. I saw this Austin Yellow today and it seriously messed with my brain.

That was the launch color for the M4. The M3 was Yas Marina blue. Both colors are available on both cars, just in case you were wondering.
The M2 has it even worse, just wait and see...

BTW: Austin Yellow is in honor of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX.

They are going to be pissed.
Besides, I didn't see something that bad at the F-1 race. maybe it is a new addition.
