Proper photos of the only Orinoco Metallic M3... [Jeremy CLarkson]: in the WUUURLD

Capt Crunch · 06-21-2018, 08:37 AM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

I took some photos with my wife's DSLR and made a hash of it because I had the wrong ISO set. She then took over on another day and tired to make the best of some pretty bad light. Some poor photo editing by me later (wife was on call) and we get the below!

It's really hard to capture Orinoco Metallic. It looks grey blue green in the sunlight, which plays well off the Amaro brown interior in a way that is similar, but better than IMO, British Racing Green. I don't have any carbon fiber on this car (even the roof!) and I will probably keep it that way.

Mods are HRE FF04 20" wheels in Liquid Silver, M-Performance HAS, and rattlecanned exhaust muffler.

Let me know what you think! Lightweight lip, M sideskirts, and a 3D rear diffuser are on the way. If anyone wants to donate a GTS front hood, please let me know

Otherwise, I think I'm close to done.

That combo looks incredible. The blue brakes seem to disappear... consider having them done in another color?

Yellow! Would like to paint the calipers and get yellow seatbelts, but with installation fees and everything that's like $2K!

Incredible color combo, this may be my new favorite color.

Powerbeast · 06-21-2018, 10:33 AM

Great color combination, I just really dislike the interior trim.

Agreed. I get the choice but I don't like it.

Understandable. When I first got it I was determined to wrap it in carbon fiber vinyl. My wife loves it. She is completely apathetic to all things cars, so when she had a firm opinion, I took it to heart

It's grown on me a lot.

paliknight · 06-21-2018, 01:01 PM

Very nice classy combo!

Phenomenal color combination!

n3on · 06-21-2018, 01:56 PM

Really nice color. The wheels look awesome on the car too!

MicaCeli · 06-21-2018, 02:06 PM

awesome, looks fantastic, great choice on the leather. Not a huge fan of the trim but I could get used to it.

Poiseuille · 06-21-2018, 02:28 PM

First one in that color that I've seen and I REALY like it. Thanks for posting the pictures. Enjoy!

420Coupe · 06-21-2018, 02:45 PM

That's quite the color; Literally looks different in every photo!

Thanks guys!! I'm really glad it worked out. I wish I had saved the dealer photo of it because it looked like absolute crap. I almost passed over it until I googled the color below:

4everkidd · 06-22-2018, 08:41 AM

Beautiful car; very different package aesthetically.

I believe i've seen this color on an E46 and it was stunning in person.

Yas_sir · 06-22-2018, 09:45 AM

Exterior and interior combo is amazing. Well done.

Also, yellow calipers would be my pick.

Capt Crunch · 06-23-2018, 05:28 PM

Sneak peek of exterior mods (lightweight front lip and modded m-performance side skirts)! Only diffuser and yellow brake calipers to go and I think I'm done. Still less than 2K miles

saveywil1 · 06-24-2018, 10:40 AM

Very classy indeed!
