frKENm3 · 07-24-2018, 03:41 PM

looks awesome!

Alex_bm · 07-24-2018, 03:46 PM

Truly special

Kwando · 07-24-2018, 03:55 PM

Gorgeous. Love these rims the FF04 are my favourite rims at the moment.

davinnn · 07-24-2018, 04:03 PM

This car was in my dealership at BMW Encinitas! Awesome color!

FAKE__NEWS · 07-24-2018, 04:48 PM

NoVA? I feel like I've seen this lately...

wdskukm3 · 07-24-2018, 05:58 PM

I think you should add a carbon lip spoiler in the rear. Make the rear end more aggressive. Also is the lightweight front spoiler flexed a bit. Looks a bit curvy. I know I had to adjust mine a bit to make it completely flat and leveled. Other then that the car looks amazing. Congrats.

ando · 07-24-2018, 06:17 PM

Amazing. One of a kind. Great taste.

OTJeebus · 07-24-2018, 06:29 PM

yep thats grey.

drewzMMM · 07-24-2018, 07:23 PM

Really beautiful - !

How do you know it's the only Orinoco? Does BMW individual share that information? Great to know yours is so unique!

jdub486 · 07-24-2018, 08:01 PM

Very nice! Unique color. Almost like a Tasman green mixed with mineral gray.

Fantastic color combo though!

The exterior color is gorgeous. Congrats again!

Piano black is a great idea. Not sure how to accomplish it though.

What drop did you end up with on M performance HAS?

Not sure. I got it done by a shop who adjusted it continuously based on picture feedback with me. Turns out that there is no rubbing at all, which is fantastic! So much better than my old Subaru days where I rubbed on everything.

Yeah. It was $1k for yellow seatbelts. That's a lot and doesn't have the right value/$ ratio for me. I'm going to do the brakes myself.

How did you adjust you lightweight lip to be straight?

It's the only one because I googled combinations of Orinoco, M3, F80, and other stuff and nothing came up except a thread here talking about my specific car.

Nothing scientific. Hopefully I'm right

MTK24 · 07-24-2018, 08:24 PM

The color code is located on the drivers door near the door jam

vampire81 · 07-24-2018, 08:38 PM

The definition of classy

SM2 · 07-24-2018, 08:48 PM

You have one of my favorite M3 interior colors and that exterior is very nice too.

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

You should check Safety Restore maybe they could do seat belts for a more reasonable price.

Maverik259 · 07-24-2018, 09:33 PM

I vote for some tint. Protect that leather from them UV rays at least!

KevinM · 07-24-2018, 10:20 PM

I have to say I love that combination, and 6 MT as well!

As for the lack of carbon, good for you. I opted for the carbon fiber roof because my car is MG so it blends in and I like the double hump profile. But I went against the grain (I guess that is a pun) and ordered the dark fineline wood trim for the interior because I think it works better with my Golden Brown leather. I wonder if in 10 years the late 2000's will be remembered as when carbon fiber trim and bits were liberally sprinkled into all cars with sporting pretensions. Obviously I am not talking about structural carbon fiber components, which is where I think this material belongs.

THOR48 · 07-24-2018, 10:46 PM

Very nice!

adc · 07-24-2018, 10:48 PM

You can get the part numbers for piano black trim from realoem.com, then order them from getbmwparts, eas or any other decent online retailer.

Won’t be cheap, I think around $1.2k or so, but if your heart is set on it...

Congrats on the car, I’ll be scanning the roads around DC for you.

And starting around October, look out for me in a Santorini M3...

Come to think of it, you should bring your car to Katie’s Cars and Coffee when the weather gets nicer.

WCH · 07-24-2018, 10:52 PM

Awesome color combo
