Sakhir Orange or San Marino Blue?

I saw SMB in the flesh and pictures do not do it justice-- beautiful color.

^ so then SMB vs frozen blue, AW, LR Gray or Black on the new CS - which would you take?

IMO, if you want SS interior, you gotta go with SMB.

Personally I wouldn’t pay 5k for paint, but assuming that is not an issue, while SMB is pretty awesome, I feel the SO stands out more in a sea of white/silver/gray/black cars.

I’m also impressed by how sporty yet elegant it can look.

SMB is amazing, but not $4,500 more amazing than SO in my opinion.

True in US but same price for OP.

Is Opal still an option for the interior? It is my favorite by far...

Damn that SO looks good.
Can you get SO on a non-M car? I like SO because it feels like I have only seen SO on M cars. I love blue. I have a Montego Blue E90 335i right now and really like the blue. However I've seen different variates of nice Blues on non-M cars. I have a SO/SO on order.

SO from what I know is only available on M cars. You'll love it as the exterior color as it changes from a deep orange copper color in full sunlight to almost red at night.

Congrats on your order!

I vote SO. I get tons of positive comments from everyone. The only problem is that I think people generally like blue hues more than red/orange. I see tons of F8x but I have yet to see another SO.
