He\u2019s currently driving a BMW <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/06\/15\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-lci-isle-of-men-green\/\">M8 Gran Coupe<\/a> but his is a bit more special\u2014it wears a killer shade of Urban Green.<\/p>\n<p>These photos of the M8 Gran Coupe on the Pacific Grove lawn for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/08\/18\/2022-legends-of-the-autobahn\/\">Legends of the Autobahn<\/a> event show off just how much of an impact a cool color makes. Urban Green isn\u2019t a normal factory color for the M8 Gran Coupe. It\u2019s an Individual color, which again reinforces my persistently voiced opinion that all M cars should be spec\u2019d with Individual colors.<\/p>\n<p>The BMW M8 Gran Coupe is a good looking car in almost any color but it looks awesome in Urban Green. However, it\u2019s a bit of a chameleon green in that its character changes quite a bit based on its scenery. In urban (duh), city environments, it looks like a flat, almost military-spec green. But on the vibrant green lawn of Pacific Grove, the green M8 became brighter and a bit more exotic. In fact, it almost matched the color of the grass.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-432673\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m8 gran coupe urban green 20 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m8 gran coupe urban green 20 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-432673\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"bmw m8 gran coupe urban green 20 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bmw-m8-gran-coupe-urban-green-20.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw m8 gran coupe urban green 20 830x553\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contrasting that green paint is the two-tone black and midrange beige interior, which looks great. While the M8\u2019s interior has never been the prettiest, it\u2019s still incredibly high quality and well-made, which makes it great car to cruise around Monterey in for the week.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of cruising around Monterey for the week, the M8 Gran Coupe is fast enough to keep up with the best of Car Week\u2019s exotics. Its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 makes 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, helping it hit 60 mph in about three seconds flat. Considering it\u2019s a big boat of a car that can comfortably seat four large adults, that\u2019s seriously impressive.
