SO on SO...will it work..?

Has anyone seen any F80/82 pictures of this combo, I don't recall any.

Quick search brought up THIS and it looks a bit much. Not a surprise I guess. With mine only being extended SO interior it will be a little less full on inside. I'm set on the exterior but think now that black interior would combine best. SO on SO is a brave and unique choice though.

PS my car is a PCP deal so no worries selling on at the end for me.

I'm going SO/SO. It's bold but life is short. Remember that on the F80/2 the dash, steering wheel and most of the door area is black. It's not quite so overwhelming.

I personally think it's way too much. Plus the tail lights and reflectors in the rear tend to blend in with that color as well. But you would definitely be unique.

so so might be a bit much but so with full black and s o contrast stiching would be sick.

jackkk · 05-18-2014, 04:02 PM

Watch after the 13.00 minute.
I like the SO/SO combo and ordered it for my F80.

Maddict3 · 05-18-2014, 06:55 PM

will be a bit too much IMO

Audio Fan · 05-18-2014, 09:35 PM

I saw it on an M6. It was a little much and doesn't match the paint that well in most lighting conditions. The interior is orangish, but the paint is only orange under direct, strong light. So, you'll have orange highlights outside and all orange inside. It's not like the Imola on Imola match from a decade ago.

I was thinking SO with SSII would look good.

STooK · 05-21-2014, 10:32 PM

If I end up with a F82 I'm getting SO/SO. It doesn't seem to fit the F80 as well though. YMB is the best color for the F80.

You, sir, are incorrect and since I am the ultimate authority on the internet, consider your argument lost. QED.

But seriously,

M4 -- AY, AW, BSM, MW

M3 -- YMB, SO, SS

Do it, you are buying a brand new M3/M4 - this is no time to be conservative..

I'm getting SO/SO but I think it looks better without the Orange dash/steering wheel. Back in the day when Porsche was doing that with the full leather dash I thought it was kind cool, but I'm not too keen on that now. A black dash/steering wheel AND dark tinted windows will be the perfect balance to my SO/SO masterpiece! and...when it arrives, I will be the first to tell you all, "told ya so!"

I think nice ceramic legal tint will be just fine

Black grills, black stock wheels, oh yeah.
