Both colors looks great, just have to give props once again to PSI M4 that thing looks awesome

I hope when I'm senile I at least keep my cars in great condition.

Hey!!! I am 66 and a long way from senile!! At least I hope that I have enough brain cells to drive my M4 when it arrives!

Ordered mine 5/31 in SO w/ extended blk, was told because the color, it might take a bit longer as a full run was needed to gear up for SO paint. Thus I hope I'm in your run week of July 20. If I have to wait till Aug I will go insane.

Have LED and black full leather.

M3/4 in mineral grey is best of all

Alpine F31 · 07-09-2014, 07:52 PM

Sakhir orange is not orange.

It's awesome, but it's not orange.

I would say copper/brown in low light...but in sunlight its rather orange.

I mean if its not orange, def not red.

Exactly.

Fire orange is a proper orange. No one will be confused as to what color it is!

I hope BMW offers it on the M2.

sebaflex · 07-09-2014, 08:37 PM

An M4 in Valencia Orange would look sick!

Pharmacist_ · 07-09-2014, 08:55 PM

Both rides look nice but that m4 is sick. SO gives off such a nice depth and tone. Nice fit for the f8xs.

Blindside_137 · 07-09-2014, 09:15 PM

Man I would kill to see an M4 in fire orange. SO certainly looks great here.

Maddict3 · 07-09-2014, 09:33 PM

SO is amazing!

jinister · 07-09-2014, 09:51 PM

SO is fierce alright

AGAV13 · 07-09-2014, 10:09 PM

Valencia is still the winner to me.

SouthernBoy · 07-10-2014, 03:29 AM

Like the Sakhir Orange better. I always think it says Shakira (like the singer) at first glance.

The Big O · 07-10-2014, 05:17 AM

Always wondered what the 2 colours look like side by side. Thanks for the comparo. A lot of times the desirability of the colour of any car is determined by what car its on. VO looks so much betta on E82 than it does on the X1 etc. On the other hand the M4/6 will always look better with SO than VO.

Pure · 07-10-2014, 05:19 AM

Great comparison. It's great to see the 2 colors. It's just the appreciation it takes to see the differences between one and the other.

Valencia is still a more natural color to what is known as an orange fruit.

For Sakhir is very close to red, but BMW marketing strategy called Orange, but I could well see being called Red.

On the other hand we must take into account a third color that miss by comparing the BMW "i3 Model Solar Orange" range. It would have been even more amazing!
