Pretty sure there is major color distortion in those pictures. What camera did you use for them? Maybe it's just the harsh sunlight with colored backgrounds (too much green).
Great car though!

When I checked out the Stratus Gray, before going with my Silver Gray, there was no hint of green in any of the indoor or outdoor (full sun) that I could see. I was sure as soon as I saw these pics that it was camera induced tint. I know the Stratus is very good and is still my second choice for standard BMW models. For the Ms, however, depending on whether a 5 or 6 I am starting to lean to the Interlagos Blue, Sepang Bronze or Indy Red. They seem to need more than the standard colors to befit their fire breathing demeanor

..take alook over on the m6board section of m5board.com, a member from London just got his M6 (to accompany his M5!) in Indy Red...it REALLY looks great in this color, lots of fire breathing
ILB is nice, but maybe nicer for the M5, and SB is a wierd but very interesting color...as you said Strat Grey has NO green in it, but the day was a wierd overcast day after those 8 days of rain, with breaks of sun that caused havoc on my pix!!! ..it is a great color, i love the blueish hues you get that seem to move with your eyes...i'll capture it somehow for all to see

I cannot get enough pics yet of the Sepang and Indy colors although some recent additions in the IR have looked good.
It was very dreary today and my Silver G looked almost as dark as Stratus in sunlight. I love how these metallic colors give you different looks under different conditions. Many of these colors just do not come across acurately in photos - must see in the flesh and in differnt lighting conditions. That will be the problem with the Ms as there will not be a lot to see in the less common colors prior to ordering.
Did u see that Azurite (SP) Black with Brown Individual interior. That was stunning.

....im so excited about that...first im a bit disappointed as i'll have to leave my baby for 5 weeks, but it will be nice to see an M6 upclose and how wild the Indy Red really looks...
it is amazing how these colors really change, i wish we could see them all!!
As for the Sepang, did you see that post as well that had the M5 & M6 together in this color? you get a few good shots of the M6....its in this thread http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=60879
..and that Individual Azurite M6 is hot
...i would luv that color, if you look in the pix, you can see the metallic blue shades, it must be stunning in person, as well as the golden brown full leather interior, i love how the door panels are two tone as well, and ofcourse the full leather dash is stunning....
