: I'd want that hot looking metalic color on the prototype. BMW would be stupid not to feature that, nobody else has one quite like it.

That paint won't be an option. From what I understand, its a very thin silver coat over a black base. It would be very expensive (and difficult) for production use. Plus even the most minor scratches would appear as unremovable black marks as the base paint would show through. While cool for a show car, it wouldn't be practical for real world use. Maybe they will be able create a close approximation with more standard paints in the future.
