E90 is my least favorite. E90 < F82 < F80 <= E92

Me too.
Looking at side by side comparison of E90 vs F80, it's pretty clear that F80 is winner in pretty much every angle.

On the other hand, E92 still looks good next to F82.

Seen the same one in Regensburg today close behind of an M4 cab!! Looks even more stunning in real life

I wouldn't disagree with you there, fair assessment as far as my personal preferences go.

I do think exterior wise alone, the e92 LCI ZCP is roughly equal in looks to the F80 M3 after seeing it in person.

Interior and performance wise its a blowout win for the newer M3.

Not a fan of the color... Looks like a pumpkin... Throw Monte Carlo Blue on it, and that would look awesome!!!

I'm actually considering this color or YMB with silverstone leather, not sure what to do.

This statement is perpetuated a lot, but I disagree with it. You should see my AW 335i right now. It is not looking clean nor is it glowing under any lighting conditions. LOL! I haven't washed it since December 27th. AW/MW shows more dirt than darker colors IMHO.

SO won't be hard to keep clean, but because it's a darker paint, making sure to care for it and keep swirls to a minimum will/should be the focus.

Nothing shows more dirt than black and gray

Nothing shows more on either black or white.

There's a reason why photographers, such as myself, shoot in studio with white or black background.

SO is a strange color.... a guy who goes to my gym has an SO M6 and in the garage I think its kind of a lame color and then it get in the sunlight and I fall in love with it...
I wouldn't buy it but I sure hope lots of people do here in LA because I love seeing it around.

Ghetto2315 · 01-31-2014, 02:17 PM

Meh, I'll pass. Too close to Red in my book

100% Agreed

M4Trojan · 01-31-2014, 02:27 PM

SO looks great on the F80. But it definitely could use the black kidney grills.

ixse · 01-31-2014, 02:30 PM

nope.. still cant beat the AW . white n black (panda) just too sexy.

Bokke · 01-31-2014, 02:39 PM

SO is an amazing color; I would strongly consider it.

Here is my F10 M5!

I had the same reaction

Suave · 01-31-2014, 02:56 PM

Again with the all black wheel. Wish I could get that on the AW I have on pre-order instead of mixed

IND-Distribution · 01-31-2014, 03:36 PM

This is the color I would go with if I were to go with the F80 M3!

Powaup · 01-31-2014, 03:53 PM

wow very HOT black kidney grills and she's a goer lol... So are those the production black wheels?

Doctor///M · 01-31-2014, 04:13 PM

...had high hopes for Sahkir. Back to the drawing board.

It's very much hit or miss for me too, much in the same way that YMB is for others. I like YMB in any lighting condition that I've seen thus far; SO not so much. SO looks great to me on cloudy/overcast days, but those days are few & far between here in Southern California. I'd be much happier with YMB.

hwelvaar · 01-31-2014, 04:54 PM

The Sakhir Orange looks kinda red in the OPs pics... I hope it's a hue/white-balance/saturation photography problem, and that the color looks more orange in reality.

positiveions · 01-31-2014, 05:24 PM

Looks good in that color.
