Sakhir Orange ending production as of 2/15, may return 7/15 (start of MY2016)

Mako · 02-07-2015, 03:12 PM

hopefully its just a site glitch and not a sign that SO is no longer going to be an option for exterior M3 color! If it is, guess I will go buy another brand

(unless there is a new red)

Straight from BMW NA as of 2/6/15:

"Due to production capacity constraints, B50 Sakhir Orange Metallic has a revised End Of Production (EOP) of 02/15. Priority 1 orders (Submitted Sold Orders) may be accepted upon request; BMW NA to advise on the next available production date."

Looks like B50 Sakhir Orange should be available for Model Year 2016, which has a SOP of July 2015. If any of you guys are still looking to order Sakhir Orange, I would perhaps have your store manager send a request to the Area Market Manager to see if they will approve a Sakhir Orange order still. Sorry guys!

EDIT: This message also shows for the F82 M4 Coupe and F83 M4 Convertible as well.

For my fellow dealership personnel, visit PKoD for confirmation.

Something weird is going on. I literally just got back from the dealer placing my order, and it wasn't showing up on the website there either. It would be just my luck that the day I order, they get rid of it.

mj41 · 02-07-2015, 03:14 PM

Just logged in too and I don't see SO anymore

I placed my SO order late December, have a production # but not sure what this means for me, will be bummed if i can't get it

brian30tw · 02-07-2015, 03:22 PM

I'm hoping it's just a glitch in the website. They have had a lot of them!

CanAutM3 · 02-07-2015, 03:43 PM

SO still shows on the BMW Canada site, so probably just a glitch.

Bmw Canada's website is always updated super late... So I would not count on that

Rick955 · 02-07-2015, 03:59 PM

One of the CA's on the forums would probably be best to chime in on this one!

vonmayr · 02-07-2015, 03:59 PM

BMW Germany still shows Sakhir as available

Damasconian · 02-07-2015, 04:29 PM

Please let this be true.

Edit: Its not. Oh well. A guy can dream cant he?

JoeyBananas · 02-07-2015, 04:31 PM

I just checked, it's available again (US)

dowdlemj · 02-07-2015, 04:31 PM

I just walked out of the dealership 30 minutes ago and it was there as we did my build. M4 Coupe Sakhir Orange exterior. Gotta be a glitch.

GOLFFRR · 02-07-2015, 04:44 PM

Still available on our end

X2Board · 02-07-2015, 05:06 PM

Shows for the M4, but not the M3 on the U.S. site.

+1 sucks if this is real for a lot of people

rcclarke · 02-07-2015, 06:50 PM

Can one of the CAs confirm if SO is still available for the M3? Danke!

Falafel Combo · 02-07-2015, 07:13 PM

I'm fairly confident that YMB, AY and SO will be discontinued on MY2016 cars. So probably not totally a glitch. Maybe more bad timing and a few months early?

Golffrr just did. He's not a CA, but knows more than most. He works at Steve Thomas, so if he says it's there, don't worry.

And why would that be?

Powerbeast · 02-07-2015, 08:01 PM

Must be a glitch!

Reedomn · 02-07-2015, 09:30 PM
