[F80] Official SAKHIR ORANGE F80 M3 Sedan Thread

[shainblm]

talked to my CA she said that BMW told her "there is limited production available " for this color (SO). since my order was already placed i can still get it but my production date was pushed back 4 weeks... just a longer wait!

It is definitely worth it!

By god that SO is fire in the video. My wallet is just too weak for now.

In that video it seriously does look everything the way I hope it would. Luckily my order was locked in and I have a production date scheduled.

It's interesting how now that it's removed from the configurator that suddenly I feel even that much more better about it....lol. Human nature to want that which isn't available....Chrissy Teigen, Cuban cigars.....Sakhir Orange

So true!! Can't wait!

Anyone noticed, at 0:55 of that video, that car has Pirelli P-Zero's for tires. Odd.

How Orange is SO... I don't want a pumpkin

Ok. It does NOT look like a pumpkin... geez! Now this is not perfect, but on the left is your typical pumpkin. I adjusted the right to be close to what I could sample from a few Sakhir pictures. Couldn't resist using a pumpkin. Obviously, different light makes the Sakhir look very different... some more red, some closer to orange, but none like the typical pumpkin color! (thank god)

[shainblm]

Thanks. Nice pumpkin!

mods thus far:
-15mm spacers front / 12mm rear
-H&R sport springs f80 m3 specific
-35% tint all around
-IND painted reflectors (front & rear)
-IND gloss black grill
-IND gloss black side gils

Its really amazing what these minor cosmetic mods have been able to do for the car... can't wait for a few more goodies

Has anyone seen f30's with the painted side gils? My SO M3 just went into production on 3/5 and i am trying to get the order into IND. Thinking Gloss black gils but curios what the SO painted gils would look like can't find any pics of them on a M3 other than Black. Nice pics!

Got my first mods in the mail today it was my first time seeing SO in person (its a beautiful color not one to pick if you want to fly under the radar!)... Car is getting delivered in April

Just got back from the dealer got my 1200 mile service done and got a lil facelift for the beast. Splitters and Black Grilles and got the black side markers too. Love the look but not the weather

You know thats actually a great way for people to see the color before committing. Pick up the color matched markers and you can see it in all the lighting you want. If you don't like it just sell the markers on here.

The dealerships should have them! Defiantly a good idea if u are stuck between colors

I went to 4 dealers when I was shopping around and only one had the wall with the color samples. Made it difficult to stay with SO.

Here are some pictures of my SO / SS I have had the car just over two weeks , really impressed with the car on the test drive , I was going for a RS4 B8 but the pure driving experience of the F80 changed my mind , it's not my DD I have an old Audi for this worth far more to me than it's actually worth . I am loving the car and the colour , never had a colour that changes so much depending on the weather .

I have added the carbon fibre rear spoiler , front bumper inserts , handbrake , gear selector knob and selector surround with alcantera , a none display alcantera steering wheel as I have HUD , I have changed the kidney grills to gloss black and the side gills done at the same time . I have purchased the BMS can flap module , I am really impressed with this and considering all options it's some what of a bargin in my eyes . Finally after much consideration I have added ACS springs and MS spacers 15/12 combo . I went for the ACS springs because I like the drop and the fact that ACS knows it's bimmers and they also offer the warranty piece of mind.

Here are a few pictures hope you like :-

Was on vacation with my wife and called the local BMW dealership and found a m4 in so. was the first time I ever saw it in person it was in direct sunlight it was very very orange I'm starting to feel nervous it's a little intense for me . My so m3 finished production last week should be here soon. I guess we will see...

It's really not at all, so sexy in person in all various lighting scenarios.

You will love it

You will love it...don't worry. I was a bit nervous too having only looked at it inside before my car arrived. It is a little bright in the brightest light of the day, but it is really much more subtle the rest of the time. I have received lots of comments about how SO compliments the lines and overall shape of the car.
