I still prefer the slightly more orange tone of the VO but both SO and VO needs sun to pop really!

Until seeing this new M3 with SO I was just imagining that one of the whites or SS should be better options, now I have second thoughts.

Just to give a visual idea what I was trying to say; here is how mine looks in a good sunny day:

Could not agree more. IMO sakhir is kinda bland and dead with overcast skies.

sold. changing my order. might even pull the trigger on the f80, but i def think SO on the F82 will look stunning

nobody will be happy w/ every color. time for change. i refuse to drive a white bmw in southern California. being middle eastern, i'll blend right in w/ every other Marlboro smoking middle easterns w/ blacked out stock rims, tail lights and tints. not my style. grey is cool, but i had a grey car before. austin yellow is alright, but too yellow for me. ymb, i try so hard to like it, but i can't. i don't want black. and i don't want to pay 5k more for an individual color.

this color will be discontinued most likely after this year of production, which will make it even more exclusive. really looking forward to this now after looking at pics for the past 2 days.

Why would they discontinue this? Been on F10 for a while, YMB and AY will be the first to go. Could be wrong about YMB though looks like a lot of people are ordering it. So it may stick around for awhile.

M3 is pooping on the m4. Sorry.

OverDriven · 03-03-2014, 07:33 PM

The M3 looks so angular and well thought out. The M4, in comparison, looks soft and lacks cohesion. I would love a coupe, but it's just no contest between these two. I'm sold on the M3.

hyperboost · 03-03-2014, 07:33 PM

this looks ok~ i like black, grey, or white over this.

Will someone articulate to me why I don't like the hood, its slope and how it meets the front end on all the new BMW cars???

Including the M3/M4??

since you live in the valley, you might get mistaken for a ron jeremy type person then LOL....do you ever see those plastic girls in the pink corvettes up in the 818?

M3ryder55 · 03-03-2014, 07:58 PM

they will most likely discontinue it (IMO) because think about it;

current colors-
AW- will never eliminate this option
MW - slight chance it will remain but most likely will go as well
Sapphire Black- cool, but many want jet black
AY- I believe will have the same fate as PY on the E46, won't make it to the end of production
YMB- Just like AY, like LSB, won't make it to the end of production, most likely replaced by a dark blue color
SO- used now on current M's, but I don't see this lasting to long. Might be discontinued like Sparingly Graphite Metallic after the 1st year of production.
MG- might make it to the end, most likely will.

In the next years, 100% a true red will be offered standard. In addition, Jet black will be offered, i mean how can it not be?. Interlagous, San Merino, or a dark blue will 100% be offered. I just don't think imo that sakhir will last that long. But I could be wrong. I've been around these cars for 15 years now, i know the trends pretty well. Time will tell.

sparkyg · 03-03-2014, 07:59 PM

mehhhh, sorry guys, something missing with both the M3/M4.
