Bingo!

I vote no way but do what you want. Black works best with AY although silverstone leather ain't bad.

M3ryder55 · 04-10-2014, 11:19 PM

Do it so u can be the test dummy but I think it can work

Tonymiabmw · 04-10-2014, 11:20 PM

This was my original order. I got really cold feet though.

khanyam4 · 04-11-2014, 12:00 AM

ketchup and mustard is good

parky1215 · 04-11-2014, 12:10 AM

No.
At least see the color in real life before you decide.

it's like kc chiefs colors. i've always been a chiefs fan, but yellow-gold and red-orange aren't going to have much resale appeal.

Mike_S · 04-11-2014, 10:42 AM

Lets be clear , I am leasing the car, I dont care about resale value !

m3ct · 04-11-2014, 10:53 AM

That color combination is mustard and ketchup. Not a fan, but to each is their own.

I like Sakhir orange on bmwusa.com but in person it looks too bright orange for me. Maybe a stupid question, but it should look exactly the same on the M3/M4 as it does on the M5/M6, right? I've seen it on the latter, but obviously not on the M3/M4.

Actually it looks darker in person than on bmwusa. I own a f10 m5 with SO and its not as bright i feel, and with tints you barely even know it has so interior

Hmmm...maybe I need to look at it on the M5 again as it has been a while. I know my local dealer has a few w/ SO interior. I do like the color on the website and am considering it on the M3 I'm trying to order. Only other consideration (which i'm leaning toward) is black. I would likely do YMB exterior.

On the m3 the YMB looks better than on the m4. The ymb with So interior will look phenomenal! Your not in my situation with ketchup and mustard lol

Drizz · 04-11-2014, 11:15 AM

^^^ = ) Honestly, as a fan of loud colors austin yellow with sakhir orange sounds strange...like it could clash. However, there's something for everyone. I know some people thing YMB alone is hideous whereas I think it's awesome.

991brothers · 04-13-2014, 04:15 PM

tint the windows. Otherwise who cares, its your car.

unagi · 04-14-2014, 09:08 AM

that looks terrible!

Agreed. I with BMW would just offer a proper red.

stressdoc · 04-14-2014, 09:44 AM

I would find that combo too confusing; the AY and SO competing for attention. AY on the M4 looks great IMO, esp. w/ black wheels; but it's a complicated color that I would be careful about matching with anything other than black without seeing it first. But as with all such decisions, to each their own, whatever makes you happy.

MyKmYk · 04-14-2014, 12:08 PM

Just do it!

When you have one life to live, and many cars to drive, playing safe is not an option.

Not the greatest pics, but might give you an idea.
